It really depends on why Stars offers the better value on the cars.

If it is because they get publicity from having these blogs up and other promotional events then I don't see why it would matter what car a player bought. As long as it was something impressive.

If Stars gives the better value because they are getting some sort of product placement fee from the automaker then they wouldn't be able to match the 0.02/FPP for other automakers.

Has there ever been an explanation about why the Aston Martin will not continue to be offered? That kind of implies they have some sort of deal with the automaker.

Our contract with Aston Martin expires Dec 31st.

Grand prize items have their own rate for a specific reward. We currently have the $12,000 PCA package in the VIP Store for 700,000 FPPs. This doesn't mean we will have an option for a player to receive $12,000 cash on request for 700,000 FPPs or an option to purchase a $12,000 car for him/her.

Looking forward to 2008 and PCA, please make sure to stop and say hello.

This partially answers my question, though is it possible to request for a different brand than porsche, or do you have an agreement with porsche?

Q2. Do European players get the cars value in Europe or the US? (did dario minieri pay anything extra, other than taxes, when he got his car?)

Must be a Porsche

-------Do European players get the cars value in Europe or the US?

The 3 Million FPP purchase is worth $60,000.

If you are going to be limited to one automaker then Porsche is by far the best choice. Just doesn't do much for me since I already have one. I might be interested in an SUV but in the sports car category the only Porsche I'd like would require 30 million FPPs which is not really realistic.

My Porsche dealer is a hybrid Porsche / Audi / VW dealer. Stars wires the $60k to the official Porsche dealer. Would I be required to buy a Porsche or is the requirement only that the money be wired to a Porsche dealership?

Invoice presented must be for the purchase of a Porsche.

Good, ty!

Now my suggestion between a $25k or a $35k car for 2008, would be to go for the cheaper so as to offer a wider range of players flexibility on spending their fpp.
Keep in mind that you should choose a brand which offers models in its range costing >=$25k in Europe though. e.g. the last time I checked with Porsche in my country a Porche Boxster(most inexpensive Porsche model atm) was more than $70k, hence I would have to spend way more than the 3mil fpp if I wanted to get that from the PS store as it has to be a Porsche.

Somewhere between an Audi or a BMW would be spot on I guess.

How about something like, say, a Hybrid Civic? Would be nice to be environmentally friendly and would make the site look good. I'd definitely consider getting one in the coming years if it was in the VIP store.
