It has been awhile, nearly a year actually, since I last published a big list of new car contests. Yes, this list is legitimate with most of the prizes sponsored or co-sponsored by various automobile manufacturers themselves. As far as I can tell, you won’t have to visit someone’s isolated timeshare in order to be entered nor does it look like you’ll be pestered by telemarketing invaders who found a loophole in the federal Do Not Call list!
Read All of the Fine Print!
Regardless, read the fine print to see if you’re eligible as age restrictions, country/state of residence, and certain other factors might apply. In addition, there may be additional, runner-up or alternate prizes available; taxes on winnings are almost always your responsibility!
To that end, I give to you my latest list of new car prizes for your review:

Many More Contests Not Listed
These are only a handful of the many new car contests currently running. We found numerous local contests which are restricted to residents within a small geographic area and oftentimes require that the winner be present when the drawing is held. In addition, there are many contests (raffles) which are open to eligible participants who purchase a ticket.
None of the contests featured within this article require any sort of purchase. Again, read the fine print to make sure that something disagreeable wasn’t slipped in; use a disposable or seldom used email address if you want to avoid being spammed.
