Many of these vendor-funded consumer studies aren't completely self-serving. Speaking as ex-AutoTrader guy, yes ATC cares about selling more advertising, but they have zero vested interest in the number of photos you include on your listings or in the information you include in your comments -- they simply want to help dealers make their advertising as effective as possible. So when they release a study about consumer habits, there may be a whole lot of truth there -
