The latest cars for cancer lottery is about to close (25/11) and there are a few tickets left if any of you are keen www.carsforcancer.com.au
The prize is a choice between some strange looking boganmobile with a dinosaur pushrod V8 ![]() My second F6 was actually a cars for cancer prize that I bought off the dealer as the winner didn't want it (they wanted a RAV 4 instead). SO: If you won the cars for cancer prize what would you do? That the F6? Take the R8? Trade it for cash? Trade it on a different model FPV/HSV? Trade it on a completely different car? To make it easier for the hypothetical, trade for car is 80% of new value, cash is 70% And just for something completely different there is a poll..... ![]() |

I'd take the cash, simply because I honestly could not afford the Insurance on an F6. If I was in a position where insurance was affordable, F6 no doubt.

I'd keep the car (F6, obviously) . You never look a gift horse in the mouth.
At the end of the day, when it comes time to replace the car, you will still have a car worth something.

I am rather dismayed that the majority would take $50k cash instead of $77k worth of F6 (or R8).....and you call yourselves car enthusiasts.....

I'd take the F6, keep it for a couple of years and then sell it to either buy a house or help pay off a house depending on if I own one by then. Even if it's only worth 40G in a couple of years thats still 40G more than I have now.
How cany any true blue blood pass up owning an F6 (assuming they don't already or haven't in the past), even if it's only for a little while?
