Need some help with a school project...

So this is my last semester of college and I'm taking an independent study course in entrepreneurship. As part of the course I have to create a business model and conduct a market research survey to help develop it. For this project I am working on a used car dealership that will specialize in ultra cheap cars to give people decent transportation without the burden of a car payment. I have come up with a market research questionnaire and I need to collect at least 15 responses to move on to the next part of the project. If I could get a few of you guys to take a minute or two to answer the questions it would really help me out. Just hit "reply with quote" and type your answers in the spaces between the questions. Thanks a lot!

Market Research Questionnaire


1.What is your age range? (ie- 15-20, 21-25, 26-30...etc.) 35-40

2.What is your sex? (M/F) Man

3.What is your general location? Middle Georgia

4.Have you ever purchased a used car from a private seller? Yes- been a good vehicle too.

5.Have you ever purchased a used car from a dealer? Yes- brand new one in fact- total POS.

6.Do you have a basic knowledge of automotive repair/maintainece? Yes (and maintenance is misspelled)

7.Do you work on your own car or do you usually take it to a mechanic? I will fix 90% of the problems myself- unless I need a special tool that costs over about $100.

8.Would you trust an inexpensive used car that was purchased from a dealer? After I go over it, sure.

9.Would you trust an inexpensive used car that was purchased from a private seller? See number 8.

10. Would you rather have an inexpensive used car over a newer car with a payment? Inexpensive vehicle every time- and I'll likely be paying cash... not because I'm rich, but because I'm only looking at what I can afford.

11. If you have bought a used car before, what was your overall experience with it like? Good on all accounts- yes they had things break, but you can do a lot of $300-$500 dollar repairs in lieu of a $300 payment every month regardless of mechanical condition- new ones break too. And the insurance is cheaper.

12. Is there a particular brand of car that you prefer? The cheap kind.

13. Regarding used cars, how important is the condition of the body/paint? Mechanical condition is a much bigger deal to me- I like the pre-scratched ones. That way I don't get upset when I see a shopping cart against my door.

14. Regarding used cars, how important is the condition of the interior? More important than the exterior condition- it should be clean enough that you aren't scared to pick up a french fry you just dropped and still eat it. Perhaps that's just me.

15. What are some additional features that you might look for in an inexpensive used car? Working a/c- this is Georgia and that s*** is important.

16. Would you be interested in a used high-performance car? Not really- unless it's got hi-power a/c or it's a hellua cheap deal... which means it's probably stolen, so I'm still not interested.

17. If you were interested in a used high-performance car, would you want one that had been modified for additional performance or would you rather have one that was still in stock form? I love these questions- in particular I love the guys that think they can do better than the team of engineers that designed the vehicle. Kind of off topic- I'd want it stock.

18. If you were interested in a used high-performance car, would you be more interested in the cars appearance or its performance? Depends on price- for the cheap deal, performance I guess.

19. Is there a particular brand or model of used high-performance car that you would prefer? Not until I win the lottery.

20. What are some additional features that you might look for in a used high-performance car? Maybe if it were a factory limited edition or something-but that doesn't sound like it would fit in my budget. Sorry- you probably didn't want the cheap guys for this questionnaire.

Apparently I have to have at least three characters outside of the quote marks too....

Just my .02. If you're looking for something to specialize in, cheap performance ain't it. You'll have a ton of dissatisfied customers when the cheap cars break down. i think if I were to open a cheap used car lot, I'd:
1. Buy 1990's Impala's, Caprice Classic's, Crown Vic's from little old ladies who only drove them on sundays
2. Add the cheapest 22-26" rims you can find
3. Add cheapest loudest most obnoxious radio you can find
4. Find a bank that will finance people with no/bad credit at 50% interest

It's a winning combination so long as you get your money from the bank before the car rolls off the lot.
