Incredible! What did it feel like when you knew it was legit and you were getting a '90 R32 GTR?

So i got the call while i was at work and just started freaking out. I figured they were legit from them doing videos with RCR and tavarish i had previously seen. Still amazes to go out to the garage and see it there

How much in taxes?

[-]

SubSon1c@reddit (OP)

So they give you 5k for taxes and transport. I expect to pay around 3k in taxes because they essentially undervalue the prize value to not totally fuck the winners over

invoke-chaos@reddit

how much did you end up paying out of pocket after all was said and done?

[-]

SubSon1c@reddit (OP)

around 1000-1500 to drive to NJ and back to MI to trailer it home. and the following year paid about 2400 in taxes IIRC. they super undervalued the whole thing so i paid off of a 20k valuation for car and prize money

invoke-chaos@reddit

i see. definitely not bad for a car that’s actually valued way above 20k. thanks for the response !

Theyre cool until you have to reach out because your order is late. There customer service rep is a complete asshole.

DangerousMarket@reddit

So this is one of those instances of the car giveways being legit?

[-]

nickcalvert54@reddit

They make way more than enough money from the increased revenue to cover the cost of the cars. It’s actually a very good idea business wise

[-]

Twistedshakratree@reddit

This car is estimated value of $15,000. If they sold $15k in products it would cover the cost of the car. Anything above $15k is pure profits. The Facebook giveaways are the money makers where they charge $x amount per entry, those guys are making loads of cash plus it’s tax deductible if it’s gifted.

StrikeouTX@reddit

Nah. They'd likely have to sell ~$30,000-45,000 worth of product to break even on a $15k car after all costs are factored in

50x2000 entries 100k

A clean r32 GTR is more like 25-30k if it's in the US.

Man that comment did not age well

[-]

zeecok@reddit

IIRC all of them are pretty legit. Where it gets sca(u)mmy is when they say “DOUBLE/TRIPLE/QUADRUPLE ENTRIES ON EVERY PURCHASE”. If everyone gets the multiplier, then no one gets the multiplier.

It’s actually when they go into a massive pool with 100s of other contests. That’s where you have to be careful.

Some of the cars are white elephants too. I'm in the M8 Competition drawing and I want to win but if I actually won I'd be stressed as hell. That's way too much car for my current situation.
