If you can find a MS3 for $15,000, buy it in a heartbeat. They're quick, handle awesome, and get pretty good gas mileage (we get 23-26 city, 28-30hwy). Plus they've had nothing but excellent reviews. Lots of aftermarket support, too.

yeah well i was looking at car max and they have some good deals

now is the time, prices are down, dealers are practically giving cars away because no ones buying because of the economy scare. I looked at an ms3 before i decided on my is300 only deciding factor was i wanted a smaller payment

You should also ask about a deal for being an enlisted soldier and look into loans through the government.

x2! Call up Navy Federal (doesn't matter what branch you're in), or USAA, they both are really great for service members.

If it's a 2007 MS3, make sure it's had all it's recalls done. I'm pretty sure there were a couple, including a defective motor mount issue.

Did you say Automatic & premium wheels ? Speed3's only came with a 6-speed tranny & the multi spoke 18" wheels (no choice on wheels). Your sig says 4-door, so I doubt you bought a MS3
