I just completed a 90 day survey that I asked my site visitors to complete.


I asked "What is your #1 factor considered when making a vehicle purchase?"


Fuel Efficiency  25%

Reputation of Dealership  14%

Price  39%

Availability of Financing  22%


These numbers have changed dramatically during the last month of the survey.  During the final month, nearly 75% of the surveyed visitors selected Price.  Before that, Availability of Financing was first by a big margin.  It seems as if the closer my survey period got to tax refund season, the more the results moved toward price.


I am not exactly sure what to do with this information yet, but I have it!
