I don't see your location, Canada / USA / Asia ???
First time I hear for purchasing airgun and equipement through financing. Not sure for powerburners, but the PCP airguns are like exotics.
For a starter I would suggest to get a larger volume carbon fiber tank - or two - instead of buying a compressor as well. A cheap compressor is a cheap compressor, also there is a learning curve with it. And don't buy any new model but one that is already couple years on the market and the reputation was build up.
A larger CF tank - I mean 7 Liter or larger like 9L or 12L you can take to a scuba shop for refill. I have three 14L and each can hold at least 7-800 shots, I am refilling myself and running my compressor about 2-3 times a month.
This how I started as well many years ago, two tanks, one using and one always full until the first is in the shop to refill.
Ones you figure your leaning curve you can start planning for compressor.
Not sure what is your location, but for that your other question you may visit a reputable airgun dedicated store - like AGS for example - and ask at the front desk.

Not sure on the financing part. But Wes will probably do payments. You wouldn't get the rifle till it's paid for though. But that's just pure speculation.

Problem with buying tanks to be refilled at a scuba shop or wherever is that the tanks will have to be certified. Large volume certified tanks cost $$$$. Even small certified tanks cost at the higher end of $$$. Then there is the major issue of finding a place that 1) can do it and 2) will do it.
I fully agree with everything else you said.
Buying a compressor is easy, but what you don't see yet the supporting bits and pieces. When you collect all and finally up and running the hassle and the cost is - priceless
. And don't expect "a compressor" is easy start especially if you not mechanically inclined.What I was telling you, get a larger tank... easier to start with and eventually you will get there anyway.
I can’t see any gun dealer doing financing, it’s not like you are buying a car for $50,000. If anything they might let you make payments but not receive your gun and accessories until fully paid. I would just use a credit card and make your payments accordingly.

But few do sizzle. Which allows you to split it into 4 payments.

and if you don't have a place that will fill said tank, it is completely and totally useless.
AND to get back to the OP's question, save up and buy it when you can afford it, and all the stuff like tanks, pumps, filters, water separators, regulators, gauges, hoses, and fittings, etc, etc, etc, that you will need. For now a really decent lever pump single shot like a TX200 or HW95 or the like would be a much better choice in my opinion.

Get a FX DRS Pro, put a worthy scope on it and your in the $8K range, not to mention a decent compressor and accessories and now you're closer to $10K
Just out of curiosity what do they charge to fill your tank and how many times can you fill your PCP. I was recently introduced to PCP air rifles and was amazed by being gifted an Air Arms SR410 SL Xtra Fac 22 cal. I was really amazed at both the accuracy and the consistency. I shot a number of pellets over my Garmin and the SD was 0.1 until the Bar dropped below 135. I didnt want to be tied down buying a bottle and having to deal with the inconvenience of a scuba shops hours or the inconvenience of drop off and pick up. I did some research and asked some of the PCP experts what was the deal on compressors. I bought one off Amazon and it took two frigin days to arrive LOL, just like Canada Post, NOT. Charged my rifle in about 10-15 seconds to 190 bar from 130 bar. Was very simple but I read about the process and the manual more than once. Mine has auto shut off and safety discs that blow but Im not leaving it without being there. In line water seperator filters and no oil or water monkey business. Everything including spares were included and although it makes noise its not nearly as loud as what the tube had me believe. It was less than$500 so Im good not having to buy tanks and be at the mercy of a scuba shop and I can fill in the field with the built in 12 V cables but my truck has 110 with enough juice to run this so the pidgeons and vermin are in deep trouble. It can also run on 12 volts in the field.

I have the .25 Impact variant and the .22 Leshiy2 all modded to the sky, couple BR tripod and sled scenarios, a YH compressor with bunch of spare parts and fittings.... for that $ you can fully dress up with firearms a medium size army
.Another possibility is a hand pump. I have several pcp's and I usually just use my Hill pump. This is for 177 and 22. For my 25 I use a compressor but granted a tank would be nicer. Just so you know I'm closer to 70 than 60 and I don't have an issue pumping. As for financing an option may be layaway. The store I work for has this program where you leave a deposit and pay it off over a few pays (usually 30 days). TC
