Their working out the cash for clunkers. That was my down payment.

Wow....well sorry you have to wait until Monday. 
I have to wait until then too...and after these others said they had to wait up to 2 months...I'm beginning to wonder if mine will take longer? They're supposedly having to put 250 miles on it to get it here. 
I'm doing the cash for clunkers thing too....traded in my 96 grand jeep cherokee. It was a great vehicle....I had it 13 years and no major problems at all! Hope I can say the same for the new xD !

From the cars.gov faq page:
What will I need to bring to the dealer in order to participate in the program?
You should bring documentation establishing the identity of the person who currently owns the vehicle, preferably the title of the vehicle, and documentary proof that the vehicle “has been continuously insured consistent with the applicable State law and registered to the same owner for a period of not less than 1 year immediately prior to the trade-in.” The final rule will specify what types of documentation would be acceptable.

Your car needs to be under 25 years old, get less than 18mpg combined (check on www.cars.gov to verify) and have been registered and insured to you for at least a year. Bring in the title, insurance cards/bills from the past year, and registration/plates for the past year as well.
Also, don't let the dealership rip you off. They have to take off the 4500 BEFORE TAX! because it's a government rebate, not a "trade in" amount. When I bought my mother's car yesterday they tried to pull a fast one on me, but I'm not about to let $500 in taxes get tacked onto my bill.
Oh, and I got her a 2010 Corolla Le for 2g under MSRP 0% APR and $500 cash back :D When I say I got her I mean I got the price down and got the deal, she'll be paying off the remaining 12k
Edit: Also, in order to get the rebate your new car needs to have 4+MPG better for the $3500 or 10+mpg for the $4500. The rules are different if you're turning in a truck (a truck truck, not an SUV)

Wasabi Me!
Hey, Just purchased a Electric Wasabi XD myself! Don't have it in hand yet, the dealer had to find one in Florida fresh off the boat and hopefully It's on it's way to me right now. I'm bouncing off the walls waiting for it, my Wife and I really wanted the special edition green little beauty and held out at the dealer when they tried to make us a deal on a Blue XD. It was a nice ride in itself, but once we saw the Wasabi one we had to have it. I'll post pics once it gets here. (tomorrow, tomorrow...please let it get here tomorrow!)

It's worth the wait... I had the choice of getting one in a day, but it would have over 300 miles on it, or waiting a week that was coming in to the dock. I waited and picked it up the day it came in on the truck. It had 4 miles on it when I picked it up.

Trust me when I say it is worth waiting for. Got mine this past friday and keep going out to my driveway to check it out. The color is better in person. Congrats hope you get yours soon.

Just got mine 2 days ago. I love it, I occasionally find myself peeking out my window to look at it just sitting there lol. I need some rims though, not lovin the wheel covers. And an armrest would be great too. But otherwise, it's awesome. It replaced my 2008 Yaris which was totaled 2 months ago.

Yes! Got it!
Got my XD today! They didn't get to it in time when it came off the boat in Florida and it went to a Dealer in Decatuer Georgia and someone there had to drive it up here. put some miles on my baby but hey it's here now!
I agree that the color does look a whole lot better in person and yes it does need an armrest. other than that I'm very happy right now!
BTW my little green machine is 1305 of 1600.

I've waited so long that I could have had a green one.
Oh well....I insisted on taking it home today and told them I'd bring it back when all the options arrived for them to install. I swear, I didn't know it was so complicated buying a car nowadays!
And THEN by the time we got home with the car they called and said we had to send additional information because the "clunkers" program was ending at midnight tonight! Wow! I guess the money ran out quick huh? I'm just HOPING that our dealership got all the info in tonight...they were so inept handling all of this! We went in 5x !!!!Oh, and did I forget to mention....I LOVE IT? I LOVE DRIVING IT! I hope its REALLY MINE !! haha
