Hello,

I am thinking of getting rid of my M5. It is an X reg face lift model with angel eye lights in Carbon Black. Very high spec with BMW warranty until April 2006. I will post the spec if there is enough interest in this. It would retail for £35k ish.

How about a Scoobynet user only raffle. £25 per ticket, we have to sell at least 2000 tickets. Draw made 10 days after 2000th ticket is sold. I want £33k for the car and the rest of the money can go to charity which the winner of the car chooses if ScoobyNet approves it.

Just thought it might be a good idea, someone gets a really good prize and gives a decent amount of money to a charity.

My Mrs is desperate for me to keep the M5 so I might change my mind about selling...if I do though, why not do this reguarly through ScoobyNet? I think it is a good idea.

[Typo on original message - warranty until 2006 not 2007]

Great idea - I'd buy a couple of tickets if you go for it.

Interesting idea - who would administer the whole thing?

Who owns Scoobynet? Is it a company or is it just people putting their own time in for free? Ideally it would be Scoobynet...if that is not possible, I am sure a firm of accountants would do it for free as it is a charity thing.

You might get 100 people together from here, but not 2000. Won't work.

Next!

If it retails at 35k then how can it be worth 33 in a private sale ?

he means it would retail private for 35 but he'll take 33.

accounts will not sell your car for you.

2000 ppl will not buy tickets.
