Learn which vehicle facts buyers need to compare, which sources they use, and what remains unclear. Adapt seven optional questions in SurveyLegend.

Compare the information, not just the vehicles

Vehicle choices combine practical constraints, priorities and information from several sources. This questionnaire asks what an adult buyer needs to compare before narrowing options. It is not a recommendation, credit application or safety assessment.

When to use this car buyer information survey

How to adapt this car buyer information survey

Name whether the study covers new, used, leased or shared vehicles. Retain “not planning” and “not sure” choices. Use price testing for a specific offer and product testing after a defined hands-on task. Do not ask for account numbers, credit scores or registration details.

Prioritize an information gap

Count purchase timing before summarizing information needs; people with no current plan should not be treated as active buyers. Cross-read the top criterion, hardest comparison and source. Fujita et al. (2022) noted that “a stated ranking of one shopping criterion above another is not necessarily maintained when consumers make an actual purchase decision.” Read the study . Their large U.S. new-vehicle survey does not validate this questionnaire or predict an individual purchase. Select one comparison gap to clarify and test again.

Frequently asked questions

Does this recommend a vehicle?

No. It records information priorities from respondents. Vehicle suitability, safety, financing and legal requirements need appropriate independent review.

Can stated priorities predict purchases?

Not reliably. People may change priorities as they compare real options, prices and constraints. Treat the answers as research input.

Should used-car buyers be included?

Only if the organizer defines that audience and adapts the choices. New- and used-vehicle decisions can involve different information and inspection needs.
