What kind of price are you getting it at. I am in iraq as well, coming home in september. Does it really quality for a sales tax exemption? I live in syracuse. Yes if that is the case you save $5,000 on sales tax. I would have had to wait until January if i did military sales, but then i would have had no car when i returned. :-( I didn't realize i was going to iraq when i put down a deposit on the car. so i put down a deposit back in august of 07 for spring of 08.. but.. i took an assignment in iraq.. and delayed it until september.. i didn't know about military sales until i got over here
