Get a loan and enjoy the car. Your baby will be in a booster seat in a year so the inconvience would be worth it. Besides Im sure you have another car to drive if you won this one for your baby and leave the Camaro as a fun car?

You signed up to win this car, shouldve been prepared if you won. If you really dont want it, sell to the dealership, pocket the $$$, & regret selling it forever.

I'll pay the taxes for you... and take the car off your hands. Problem solved, like you never won it.

I would think selling either way, private or dealership, creates their own unique headaches. Either way you're going to get low balled. Dealership will pay less then they'd pay GM. Private party will want to pay less than they would from a dealership - and now it's used. Both are understandable.

You could try private party & work out with your dealership to handle any needed financing and even take a trade. Or you could take a trade if you want a different type of vehicle.

Congratulations - and it'd be great if you could keep it, but if you sell you should clear some good cash.

winning non cash prizes in america kind of sucks, yes you still win something, but uncle sam really loves to take a huge chunk making it barely worth it to even keep the prize.

Just give it to me, problem solved!

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if you had an issue with putting your 6 month old in the car...why did you enter?

I feel no pain for you. I entered the contest along with thousands of others and was completely prepared if I had won. No sympathy here. Sell it, take your money.

Figure out how much the resale value of the car is minus the loan you're going to have to take out to keep it. If it's more than the payout you'll get from the dealer, then you need to figure out how much effort you want to put into maximizing your return.

DuhKoDuh · 04-11-2012, 10:25 AM

Keep it will NO MILES! that will be a collector one day and you will regret it!!!!

GEEo · 04-11-2012, 10:27 AM

Keep it!!

heRS · 04-11-2012, 10:34 AM

Really? You won a Camaro and you're complaining?

I don't want to be the one to tell that little girl her daddy didn't keep the Camaro he won when she was a baby. What a family keepsake it would be some day but take the cashout.

49ersXXIX · 04-11-2012, 10:55 AM

pass your problems here and i'll take over your car and tax payments.

Nutro · 04-11-2012, 11:01 AM

My father is wanting a new Camaro. He would love to take your winnings and gladly pay the taxes and fees.

Seriously. Let me know
