The people who design automobile selling systems, usually have one short-coming in common. They never, themselves, bought a car. They never faced the frustration and disappointment encountered by the average customer attempting to buy one. Being in the automobile business you drive an assigned car or "demo." When purchasing a vehicle for a family member you rely on accommodations, similar to doctors treating the family of other doctors without fee. They're never really in the shoes of a customer.

We have been, through our Complete Shopping Service. That's how the Fair Dealer Network^TM got started. Not by virtue of our many years in the automobile business, but in response to difficulties we encountered during our own car buying experiences. We're still learning. This page is devoted to you, the car buying public. We will always want to know what you think. From time to time we will be soliciting your opinions on timely topics of concern to you and those setting directions for the industry.

You may offer your opinions anonymously. If you wish to include a return address, we would be pleased to advise you of the results of the surveys you have participated in. Return address can be entered following the survey.

**Current Opinion Survey #0134**
1.	Some automakers want to substantially reduce their numbers of dealers. Reducing the number of stores that sell an automaker nameplate would result in higher prices. Do you agree?	yes no
2.	Would you prefer to buy an automobile from automaker managed mega-stores offering large inventories rather from a smaller family run business where you expect personal service?	yes no
3.	Do you prefer open competition in the automobile marketplace which regulates price to a level acceptable to the buyer and seller, rather than prices being regulated by the automaker?	yes no
4.	Enterprise and open competition weeds out inefficient businesses. Someone sells for less or gives more value and gets the business. Do you agree?	yes no
5.	When buying an automobile does the dealer's quality of service affect your decision in addition to price?	yes no
6.	Is price your only concern in the purchase of an automobile?	yes no
7.	When buying an automobile would you prefer being served by a sales representative with excellent product knowledge who might still be working for the dealer on your next visit?	yes no
8.	Is buying a car more like buying a home, rather than a checkout experience at the local supermarket?	yes no
9.	Could any of the services and information provided by the Autoserv Website be useful for you?	yes no
10.	Has your visit to the Autoserv Website been worthwhile?	yes no
11.	Are you planning on buying or leasing a new vehicle sometime during the next six months?	yes no
