Who one the raffle?
So? Do you have data suggesting that the amount of time that has passed is unusual? 28% of stated value is a pretty decent chunk of change. If the winner does not have the cash available, he has to finance it.
I was simply stating a fact. Would you like me to send you a calendar so you can count the # days as my supporting "data"?

The person that won was: David Schaffer.
The car is at Woodhouse.
Before the car can be transferred over, the tax attributable to the stated value of the car has to be paid in.
The tax is 28% of the stated value.
I would guess that arrangements were, or are, being made to pay the tax and the car will be delivered soon.
All of the above data has been previously posted in other trheads.
Why haven't the National VCA officer's replied.? Why are you replying?. I would prefer to hear the official answer from someone in charge, as using your recent posting trends in anything VCA related as supporting data, you cannot be trusted to offer an unbiased view.
Thank you,

I could not agree more, No disrespect to you Bob, but I have been asking these simple question's for weeks on the Members thread and have been met with no answers.Great question. That info is obviously not proprietary. Why couldn't the new ***/officers have posted that info weeks ago. It's this type of behavior that ***** the oxygen out of the room. There is no reason for it. (Assuming Mr. Bob is not the new voice of the VCA)
Just to put in my .02. Maybe they are being advised not to talk about it, if in fact there is a legal matter pending, its fairly reasonable to assume that neither side is going to want to disclose anything till it is resolved.

Let me get this straight: Someone called the individual who spent at minimum $125.00 to purchase a raffle ticket for a FREE Viper and when called decided not to take the free car..................I call BS! Exactly how many of these raffles (I bought tickets to all of them) Did I really have a chance to win? ANY of them?
Maybe the individual who bought the raffle ticket didn't realize they had to pay the tax on the car. Maybe they couldn't afford to pay the tax. Didn't have the money. Counldn't get a loan. Maybe they needed a new furnace/AC/windows for their house and had to spend the money on that(we just did all 3!) A lot of you are jumping to conclusions as to why these people either didn't return the call that said they won or on day 53 after the raffle they still haven't picked up the car. WHO CARES!! Some of you seriously need to chill out and stop biting peoples heads off for posting. The OP asks, "Who won the raffle?" Bob answers and gustfront jumps on him for not being a MOD or somebody not in charge. Unreal how the the mood has changed on this forum over the years. Im out.

One of the statements we have always heard about the raffles is a reluctance to buy a ticket if the member could not pay the 28% tax.....Well get this, WE HAVE ARRANGED FINANCING FOR THE TAX!!
This financing is through Milton Bank, our preferred bank for club members, financing new, used, and even salvaged vipers after review. Arranged through VCA Ohio Member and Loan Officer John Jones, who owns 3 Vipers himself.
But the best news is that this is such a solid loan as the member would only be financing a small percentage of the loan as opposed to the usual 80-90%, that the initial credit level is a 600 FICO!
That means that for a $122,500 MSRP car you will walk away with a payment of $487.21!! Finally paying the taxes should not be a problem! See the chart and the rate goes down as the FICO goes higher!
The VCA had a new program for this raffle to help with the wiiner with the tax situation
That's one loan the banker hopes you default on.....he loans you $34k and gets a $120k plus car if you miss a couple of payments. I would underwrite that loan no matter how low that credit score is
