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 Use it with adults who are considering a named vehicle category in a defined place and time window. Keep sales leads separate from research responses. For general pre-launch work, use [product research ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/product-market-research-survey-template/). Browse [product templates ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/product-and-service-evaluation-surveys/)when the decision is different. **Create your car buyer information survey in SurveyLegend** Vehicle choices combine practical constraints, priorities and information from several sources.

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 ](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38268786/). 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.
