Ardmore man wins new vehicle from local dealership

What started out as a trip to the store on Tuesday for an Ardmore man wound up with a phone call telling his wife he had won a new vehicle from a local dealership.
"It was today," said Cristy, wife of Donavan Ellis. "It's an SSR. It's one of those truck looking things but it's kind of a car, too."
She wasn't sure how much the vehicle sells for, but when they looked it up on the internet it was between $41,000-$43,000.
"They told us they will give us the base car and they will give us so much to put what accessories we want on there," Cristy said. "We are supposed to get a letter from UPS tomorrow. When we get the letter, we have to go up to Brad Fenton. On that letter, it's going to tell us the price and all that stuff."
She also wasn't sure how much the taxes on the vehicle would run, but knew it would be up to them to pay the tags, tax and title.
"They will give us a 1099, so I'm guessing we'll just file it with our taxes next year," Cristy said. "Then we go to Brad Fenton tomorrow and pick the color and what all we want on there. We get so much money to put the accessories on there."
They had heard about the Hot Button promotion the dealership was participating in, and according to Cristy, it was something her husband wanted to try.
"I sent him to the store to get me something to drink," she said. "I didn't know he was going but he was gone forever. He called me and he couldn't hardly talk. I said 'Where are you at?"
"He goes, 'don't be mad at me,' but I just won a car,'" Cristy said. "I didn't believe him. The sales lady got on and said, 'Yes ma'am, I wouldn't lie to you.' Then Wayne (Enyart) got on and said, 'Congratulations, your husband is a lucky man!"
Cristy still didn't believe it so she called the dealership back in a little while and ask if someone had won a vehicle and if so, who it was. The person who answered the phone told her it was Donavan Ellis.
"I said, 'That's my husband and I didn't believe him," Cristy said and laughed.
Donavan works as a clean room tech at Southwest Silicon Technology. The couple have three daughters, ages 13, 8 and 3. Although the family needed another vehicle, Cristy doubted they would keep the new vehicle.
"My husband has a truck that is just a hunk of junk," she said. "What we'll probably do is sell the SSR and get what we want, because we don't need anything that fancy."
