Giving away a brand new £6,0000 car - Matt Kelly
I work for a company that is organising a prize draw - the prize is the £6,000 car of the subject line.

Our current favourite is as much Yaris as we can get for that money.

Does anyone have any better ideas ?

We'd thought of a Smart but we don't want someone in the windswept Highlands of Scotland to win a car that's better suited to someone living in a big city, so all rounders are better.

Thanks

And no, I can't fix it so you win.

£6K isn't much for a new car! I think you'd struggle to get a Yaris for that little.

Make it £7K and your choice is much wider!

I didn't set the budget !!
Jamjar.com have Puntos at £5,995 so that's a possibilty.

Anyway if we contact the manufacturer direct we could perhaps negotiate on the basis of them receiving some positive PR.

Its a shame the budget isn't really how much the subject title says!

I don't understand.

Look at the number of 0's in the subject.

You are threatening to give away a sixty thousand pound car. That would knock the annual profits wouldn't it..

Motorpoint have new Puntos for £5499 here.

Re: And we can claim the VAT back - Matt Kelly
I assume so that takes us up to the £7,000 barrier inclusive of VAT, which is how most car companies quote isn't it ?

Try Motorpoint for the Yaris

The criterion is something that will make people enter your competition, it doesn't matter if it is a crap car as long as it has some fun or other attractive element to it. So don't rule out the Smart. Or consider offering a year's lease of a Lotus Elise--most of the £6000 will be the insurance. Whatever the giveaway prize is it will probably end up in the local paper as an "unwanted prize" anyway.

Yours cynically

PS: I have had some involvement with contests (not cars) with prizes some of which are valuable in monetary terms and the wrong prize irrespective of value won't work.
