Guess some of us were a day late and a dollar short. :-) Glad to see soldiers and sailors in the US getting a good deal. Even vets...very cool, Ford.

Got 2 x GT350s from them while stationed overseas. Pain to deal with, but only option out of the country (other than returning home and self-shipping). Can't imagine any advantage to using them CONUS.

God I hope this is a way to get around the absurd ADM on vehicles like the GT500 and Bronco!

Better pricing. MAS usually meets or beats X-plan and sometimes A-plan pricing.

Specialty vehicles like the GT500 most likely won’t be available for the plan. After looking it over it seems more like a Truecar plan where the dealer has to have inventory and agree to the price offered in the plan. Overseas they do a lottery system for the small number of allocations they receive.

Can't imagine pricing in the States would be any better than USAA, Navy Fed or countless other buying plans, especially if specialty vehicles are not available. There will also be no tax break. Having spent quite a bit of money with them, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

I purchased my 2016 Mustang GT through them in July 2015, took delivery in September. I saved nearly $4K under MSRP.

USAA and Navy Fed have no better rates than TrueCar.

Purchased a 2016 GT350. Ordered in June 2015; Personally picked up from the port in Apr 2016. Ordered a 2019 in Nov 2018. Took delivery (overseas again) in Oct 2019. Had problems dealing with them in both cases. With the 2016, it was worth the pain to get a GT350 for less than MSRP. The 2019 was also less than MSRP, but so were ones in the States straight off the lot. The point with Navy Fed, USAA and TrueCar is that all of them are examples of why in the States MAS is not a special deal. They are simply not worth the pain, and plenty who deal with them experience the pain.

Guess I got lucky then, or it could be the loudest gripes get the most press. My experience was perfect with them.

Point is, until someone tries their new service how bout we sit back and see what happens.

Glad your experience was positive. I assure you it's not a matter of the loudest gripe getting the most press. I am more than willing to elaborate and provide documentation for anyone who contacts me directly, which will help inform their decision and avoid known pitfalls, rather than requiring them to sit back and hope for the best, especially since it is fellow warriors who will be taking that chance.

I'll stop here since we're detracting from an unrelated (GT500) forum.

I was able to get offers for GT500. Not for Mach-E GT or Explorer ST.

I'll back up the points of MAS is not worth the trouble. I had to use them while in Germany and it was not a pleasant experience.

but but but, you can only buy cars like this if overseas !

Curious as to what issues y’all experienced. Like I said, mine was pretty flawless. I received updates on when my order was processed, when the VIN was assigned, production, completion, and ship dates and expected delivery date. I had no problems.
