Soooooo...... - Page 306

So it's kinda quiet here

RStar · 09-19-2016, 10:41 PM

Yeah, it is. Is it Facebook? I find it hard to carry on a conversation there. But one only has so much time for social media I suppose....

Sooo... I entered a contest on the website of 104.3 MYFM radio. I was last week's finalist to win a Nissan Leaf electric car. I'm one of only 18 finalists, therefore I have a 1:18 chance of winning the car. Now I have to figure out how to pay $10,000 in taxes and charging station installation should I win.

Third world problems for sure.

I suppose I could check with my credit union for a loan, but I don't need the extra loan payments. I will certainly be contacting my tax consultant for sure. I also hear that I need to argue the difference of "fair market value" to "Manufacturer's suggested retail" price for what the taxes will be based on.

Or, I could see if the dealer will just buy it back. I don't really need a second car as my wife hasn't been able to drive for about 10 years. She may be able to drive some time in the future, but it may be years.

Or just sell the car, pay the tax, and walk away with the cash difference.

ETA
OR, I could read your entire post and realize you'd already considered that option.

1 in 18 ain't horribly odds, good luck!
I agree, selling it for cash sounds like the best option.

I'm leaning that direction. Not only would I end up with a loan payment, but also higher auto insurance. And Health Net has informed us that the plan we are on will be cancelled as of December. I'm sure it's so they can sign us up for a higher plan with less benefits and higher deductible. As if $2,400 a month for me and my wife isn't enough! That's a house payment for cripes sake! So I don't need the extra bills right now.

Ouch!
Yeah, definitely sell that puppy.
