Not sure on this. My aim will to be to keep 40k equity at which point I move into another 55k car, keep until worth 40k and so on. By doing this you can keep a very nice bit of metal on the drive for a minimal monthly.

I'm very fortunate that I'm not in a position where I desperately need cash or can't afford to run the car I've won so why not use it and enjoy it? The whole point of this competition is to win the car not the cash!
And good on you for doing so.

I bet BoTB are pleased to see someone planning to drive the car for once.

100% keep it, especially if the money wouldn't make a material difference to your life.

I'd definitely keep the M2 even though the money would come in handy.

the only thing I dont quite get is how anyone wins the car they want?

I want an M3, but Joe Blogs might want the DB11?

Am I being dense?

You buy a ticket for the car you'd like to win, the costs vary for each car. You choose coordinates for each ticket you're purchasing and the closest set of coordinates wins the car to which they are mapped.

Whatever car you've paid for, you get.
That's why the more expensive cars cost more per ticket. They hope they sell enough high end tickets to cover the cost if someone wins a high end car, but that means if a low end car wins they've made a good profit.

Way to go OP!

The F Type V6S at half price this week has me to take a 20 ticket plunge!

Though I saw a 4C on my commute this morning... if that ever features in the half price tickets, I'll be splashing out.

Makes sense. They will be hoping for a load of mini winners!

I didn't release that I was meant to be trying to calculate where the ball would be, so I clicked randomly for my co ordinates! I now know for next time.

Considering myself lucky that I got £0.56!

I've not got anything back, can't see the results either. There can only be one reason for this....

I'd better go and look out the window, see if my M4 convertible is pulling up.

That's what I was after, see it has gone back up in price, time to look for another choice being a cheapskate!
