Raffle ????

[mike90lxII]

I have an idea and want to get your guys opinions. I have a 2006 WRX TR. I am tired of the payment and insurance is killing me. I was thinking of doing a raffle on ebay, and on a couple of the forums.

Do you guys think it would be a good idea?
Would anyone here buy tickets?
I was thinking $5/ticket and sell 5000 tickets.
Sipping of the vehicle would also be free to the winner.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Mike

how much does it cost for a raffle permit?

[mike90lxII]

I haven't looked into that yet. Just wanted to field the idea and see what kind of response it got. But I owe around 22k the car only has 7k miles on it.
So if I sold 5k tickets for $5 a piece it should take care of everything.

I'm pretty sure you don't live in Wisconsin but i know here in WI the only way you can have a "raffle" is if the money goes to Charity. MY buddy started that with His Toyota Supra. So try finding a Charitible place to buy out your car then raffle it.

Unless the state you live in allows personal raffles.

Yeah i am looking into that right now. Thanks

Not a problem

And not to offend you. But We had a hard time selling 1000 Tickets for a BUILT 1997 Toyota Supra. So 5000 will be a little tricky to sell for a Stock Subaru WRX. Also if you do go through with it. Make sure to let everyone know that if you don't sell a cetain number of tickets you refund the money. so you don't sell 1500 and then your really out money. But either way good luck with what your trying to do. I'm geussing selling it out right isn't an option?

Yeah I would have to register as a charity, file with the IRS, and pay a fee of $75 in Louisiana here.

All net profit has to go to said charity.

A little complicated but heck I might try it.

My cars not stock, but I see where I could run into problems.

Well I would take 20k for it wich is right around nada but I have seen a few on ebay and the market seems kinda low right now.

You guys are crazy buying a new car than a few months later deciding you don't want it anymore.

Yeah I know I should have stuck with buying cars for around 10k cash and then just flipping them when I got tired of it:)

Loan value is $20,650 if that helps you at all.
