Military Auto Source Deal(possibility)

[Todd15Fastback]

Not really interested in it.. as its clearly discriminative. Anyone who served and is serving should have an equal opportunity. Regardless of how long their stint in the service was, especially if there were circumstances that caused them to have to end their role early due to injury or health issues as a result of their time serving.

Regardless of who you are and what branch you're in and where you're stationed.... The whole concept is already on a slippery slope. It purely qualifies based on active duty not time served. For example a retired officer with multiple commendations should be more worthy of the opportunity than a current officer pushing pencils overseas and getting medals for perfect attendance. Not trying to be rude... but just offering perspective that is more true than false.

And..if my dad wants me to get this cool car with his discount...he'd come with me to the dealership and brag about his career... even put the car in his name then sign it over to me afterwards. It's his right to do so. I would not twist him arm to do it.

That's just my two cents though...

It is my only chance to get a Shelby GT350 for a few thousand dollars less than MSRP! Yes I am in my Iron Man underoos and kicking in the floor for one. I admit it I want one that bad!

^I hear ya... My Dad might want to deck you though.

My dad can totally whip your dad.

^ Bahahahahaha.

Well maybe... We'll have to go online war gaming and see who still has it. But my Pop's is Diesel. He'd kick my ass.

Not what I thought was funny. Was funny that you care if others will "Know" you have a 350 and not a regular GT

Its a strange thing honestly...I was at a gun range last week and they had a sign saying they have discount over 100.00 for membership to Military. I asked about it and they said "its only for active duty"

So I did 20 years (both Gulf wars) no discount...someone who's been in since breakfast this morning get 100.00 off.

As for MAS, they are not affiliated with any military branch or DOD, they serve as an independent concessionaire that caters to those who serve. To claim it's discrimination is absurd and just plain ignorant. Might as well complain to FORD that it's discrimination to offer $500 military cash bonus or college student bonus....SMDH.

Anyways, I digress...as this thread has. MAS will more than likely have a lottery. This is purely speculation as the two dozen reps on Okinawa have no idea either. Combat Zone locations do not get "extra allocations", MAS holds the allocations and oversees all the reps across the world. They will ship to Europe but not Japan as that country has an embargo on importing any vehicles built before 1972 (that means you have to pay the import tax on it if you want to bring it here, it's not totally exclusionary)

This thread is so full of fail it's hilarious. I am a retired Marine with overseas time. MAS is very simple...its a program designed to allow those stationed overseas to purchase a new vehicle and have it waiting for them when they return home. Not discriminating against me or anyone else or their daddy. Remember these folks overseas don't have the luxury of driving down to a dealership. With that being said the last time I was stationed in Okinawa the hot ticket was Harley Davidson motorcycles. MAS had a lottery then and let me tell you it was not smooth. In fact we tried to buy a Mercury Villager from a salesman at Kadena and after that experience we just decided to buy when we got home. I wish the best of luck to those trying for a GT350. If you get one make sure you buy a lottery ticket when you get home.

I just want to say "THANKS" to all of those who have served and are still serving in the Military and protecting our fine nation!!

Much appreciated Todd! Though right now I'm protecting my right to get a kick-ass car and have fun with it when I return from overseas!

I have no doubt, I was already excited before, but since being on this forum, now the wait is unbearable! :lol::lol::lol:

At least the forced delay in picking it up means all the mods I'm ordering will be waiting for me when I get back! I already picked up the Magnaflow Competition Catback and the Sound Tube delete kit, and am going to be getting the LED light upgrades and new mats. Thinking about doing the Barton shifter as well!

Back on the topic of buying a GT350 through MAS. If you want to continue the off-topic discussion about the military (generally), please do so in the OT section.

You can bring post 1972 cars to Japan. You just need to do a request letter. You get the exemption and get an E plate.

Ok back on topic. I have been contacting MAS often but not much info is available. There will be a drawing but when is unknown. I wonder how many military folk overseas are in the market for one.
