Question Is this a good deal???

The wife is ordering my S-crew next week. Its thru AAFES Military car sales in germany. I cant do it because im in Iraq until Nov (70 and a wake up!!!), they said if I want it ready to pick up in Jan when I move back to the states it had to be ordered by mid-Sep. Anyway, Im getting a 1350$ Ford Freedom Fighter rebate. AAFES has a lowest price guarantee, which says if I find it cheaper within 14 days after taking delivery they will match it. I will get any additional rebates that may be available when I take delivery in Jan.
I cant believe the limited color choices for the screw and why are there no pictures of the screw with the chrome tube running boards, am I the only one that likes them?
Heres what im getting. Is this a good price or am I getting ¡°screwed¡±. Their paperwork says MSRP is 40,605.

I ordered mine through AAFES as well and I assume that their prices are standard no matter where you place your order. I looked at the invoice price, and how much over invoice the AAFES price was. After the FFF rebate, I was about $200 or so over invoice so I decided to go for it. I possibly could have done better with a stateside dealer since AAFES doesn't negotiate but I'm pretty sure the FFF rebate is higher for AAFES too. To me, it came down to convenience and having my truck waiting for me when I step off the plane from England in about 275 days. I get to deal with my salesman face to face versus phone and email, we'll have all the finances arranged ahead of time, I just have to show up, inspect the vehicle, and sign a couple things from what I understand. To me, it's worth the extra couple hundred bucks to not have the extra headaches of dealing with someone a couple thousand miles away. Hope this helps.

Keep your head down and stay safe over there. If you need any pics or anything let me know and I'll see what I can do.
