This is a LONG question and may seem silly to some (Most) but im just too curious to know and I cant get a decent answer from friends or family so for a Lexus Specialist or people with car wisdom...
Ok, I have a $6500 to buying a car. Though
You're making a couple of big assumptions here which probably aren't valid.

Professionalsā Choice Auto Parts grand prize winner announced
ASE Certified Mechanic, Jim Whippieās initial response when he was told he had won $10,000 in the Professionalsā Choice Auto Parts Scratch & Win Promotion was, āyeah, right!ā Once he had the check in his hands, though, the reality set in and he says, āit comes at a much needed time for me; the timing couldnāt have been better.ā
Whippie received the Scratch Ticket from SMP Automotive Productās Store Manager, Doug Podgomy, who has been with SMP for nearly 40 years and has been doing business with Whippieās employer, Scottās U-Save Tires, for nearly 20 years.
Scottās U-Save is owned and operated by Sheri Templin. The business is family owned and operated and has been serving the south Chicago suburbs for the past 29 years specializing in the sale of tires and wheels as well as a full service automotive department.
Larry Schulz, owner of SMP Automotive Products, Inc., located in Chicago Heights, Ill., says he participates in all of the Automotive Parts Associates promotions and has had a good history of winners coming from his customer base.
APA’s WD shareholders conducted the Scratch & Win Sweepstakes at more than 250 locations across the United States and Canada beginning in October through December. Each time a product was purchased from one of the sponsoring manufacturers, the technician received a scratch ticket.
Thousands of dollars in instant winning gift cards were distributed, and several thousand completed scratch cards were returned for the $10,000 drawing.
“We would very much like to thank our sponsors who make this sweepstakes possible,ā says Dan Freeman, president and CEO of Automotive Parts Associates, Inc. Sponsors of this sweepstakes were Airtex Fuel Systems, ASC Water Pumps, Beck Arnley, Bendix, Bosch, Cardone, DENSO, Dorman, Exide Battery, Moog Chassis, Wagner Brake, Autolite, FRAM, Prestone, Four Seasons, KYB Shocks & Struts, Loctite, Mann Filter, Permatex, Remy Rotating Electrical and Standard Engine Management.
