Hello all, well I put my order in yesterday for a 2008.5 MS3 GT, Metro Gray Mica. I ordered it thru military car sales and will pick it up when I move back to the DC area in July. It is gonna suck to wait since it would be nice to open the car up on the Autostrada here!

Military sales? You talking about ENCS? Cause when I was deployed they weren't offering mazdas. If not, let me know what you were talking about. Mainly so I can go there, see what I COULD have paid for mine, and then go to a corner and cry over the extra money I paid.

It was these guys www.autoexchangeonline.com

They work out of Germany and are able to get military pricing on Audi, Mazda, Infinity, Honda, VW, Toyota, and Nissan. They don't deliver all above stateside but I do know they do Mazda, Honda, and Infinity delivery stateside. They have offices either on or next to military bases here in Europe.

Program price for 08.5 MS3 GT was $22,946,
+$635 Destination Fee,
+$285 Admin Fee,
-$226 off for stateside delivery.
Wheel locks = +$40.50
Autodim Mirror with Compass = +$163.00
6yr/75k full bumper to bumper warranty = +$800.00 (usually 1200 so I said sure)
Oregon resident so I do not pay sales tax :)
Out the Door Final price = $24,643

After looking online at prices this seemed like a good deal to me. Looked like a few hundred over invoice and the options were a bit cheaper. Plus it was hassle free which is worth a few bucks imo.

Thanks man. I wish I knew about that. I bought my MS3 just after getting back from iraq cause all I knew about was ENCS. Sigh. Oh well. Maybe something to look at in the future.
