Frequently Asked
Questions.....
Q: How can I enter, and how many times can
I enter?
A: You can enter in-person one time at each store, at Patriot
Subaru in Saco, ME, or N. Attleboro, MA by filling out the registration
form and putting it in the box. You can also enter online via
the website. Each store's website has its own online registration
site. However, you are limited to
only one entry online, so if you register online at Saco, you can not
enter online at North Attleboro, and vice versa.
Q: Is it
free?
There is no purchase necessary.
However, nothing is ever completely "free", so we never say "Win A Free
Car". Patriot Subaru is giving away one car from its inventory to the
winner. Then the government has its
say, and it is beyond our control. If you choose a car with a
$30,000 MSRP, the government says you just received a nice
boost to your income. Depending on your tax bracket, you may owe income
tax on the prize. That goes for anything, whether you win the
lottery, a horse race, or bingo! We clearly state that the
winner is responsible for all applicable state and federal
taxes. In accordance with the state laws
of the winner, Patriot Subaru will
collect the appropriate taxes and registration fees on behalf of the
state. They are to be paid by the Prize Winner at time of
delivery.
This is why we added a 48 Hour
"Decision Period" so the winner can consult with their tax attorney or
financial planner. It is still an amazing deal to win the car,
but the winner needs to understand any tax implications.
Patriot Subaru can not provide any tax or personal finance consultation.
Patriot Subaru receives no compensation or
financial support from a third party. You may have seen other events where a company buys an insurance policy in case they have to pay off, or actually give
something of value away. Not here. Patriot
essentially buys the car from Subaru, and is giving it away to the
winner. Patriot receives nothing from any collected taxes or
registration fees.
Q: What if I
win and opt for a vehicle with an MSRP of $20,000. Do I get the
difference in cash?
A: Sorry folks, it's
just the one car we're giving away, not cash. Any difference
between the MSRP of the car selected by the winner and $30,000 is not
compensated in any manner, be it cash, credit, services, parts, etc.
Q: Why would I select a car with a
lower MSRP?
A: Maybe it's a lifestyle
choice. Each model in the Subaru family has unique
characteristics. Also, you may opt for a model with a lower
MSRP because it might carry a lower insurance cost, a lower tax charge,
lower registration fee. It all depends on your personal
situation. Choice is good!
Q: What if the car I want is not
"in-stock"?
A: The promotion stipulates
that you can choose from a car that is in-stock, a decision we made so
that the event has closure. Between the two stores, we'll conservatively
estimate there will be 300+/- vehicles in stock with an MSRP under
$30,000. The selection will be great. However, some
models, the BRZ in particular, often is not carried with much volume. It
is possible that there could be no BRZ's in stock at this time of year.
As a sporty car with a niche market, we do not sell many during the
winter months.
