So does this mean I have to buy a Viper to be able to buy a raffle ticket? LOL, I know the answer. It's just if I could buy a raffle ticket I know I would win the Viper and then I wouldn't have to buy a Viper.

Hi RT10ViperFan,

For most of these raffles, you have to be a VCA member....good news is that you instantly add another Viper to your collection, so if you already have one, boom, you have two! Last raffle was a 2006 Snakeskin Viper done over by ASC and the motor by McLaren, it is an amazing car!! The winner (Dawn) has it on her avatar when she posts. This raffle car is for the 1st production 2008 Viper in Venom Red, with Champagne stripes and has a modified suspension that was showcased on the 2008 Viper that went to car shows. It is another amazing car and thanks go to the VCA leaders for putting such a great raffle together. 2008 tickets are available, so your odds of winning are quite good as car raffles go.

Regards,
Aaron

At the risk of sounding stupid, can someone explain the details in paragraph #4 on the raffle ticket order form. It says, "Federal law requires the deposit of 28% of the value of the prize to be applied towards the winners tax liability. Does this mean that after you pay the sales tax for your state, the license fees and other required fees, that an addition $33,600.00 is added based on 28% of the estimated value of $120,000.00?

Dear Revived Gearhead,

As it was explained to me, you have to show up with the $33600.00 ($120000.00 x 0.28) to pickup the car. The VCA sends that dough to the IRS in your name, to cover the minimum lottery taxes. (it has to do with ensuring that the IRS doesn't come back after the VCA if you renegged on paying the tax at year's end)

Supposedly, when you do your taxes at the end of the year, you list the lottery prize of $120000.00 and the tax paid $33600.00 and based upon your other income, etc. you might get more or less of a refund. Say for instance, you were in a very low income bracket, yet won the car, you'd likely get some of that money back....on the other hand, if you were living off interest income of say $1 000 000 000.00 a year (making you the highest tax rate), you'd likely have to pay additional tax.

Now I'm not an accountant, but when I asked an accountant, that is what they told me.

Regards,
Aaron

order my tickets today, I figure it will be better to paid 34000.00 for a 2008 instead of 95000.00 for a new 2008.

NO ONE ELSE BUY TICKETS!

I have bought mine and want to improve my odds.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPLIANCE!

That's exactly the point in the VCA National Treasurer said it's a misprint, the value should be between $90-95k, so that makes the money you gotta show up with as follows:

$25200.00 - $26600.00

I've never heard of a banker stupid enough not to lend a current Viper owner roughly $26k for a new Viper.....they'd LOVE to repo it and drive it themselves!

Juli, I hope Mike and Yourself win too, at least that way I'd likely see the raffle car at one of the NY events!! I've got a lot of years left to win one of these raffles, maybe this year is my year!

Regards,
Aaron
