Help with exotic car research! - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

D Money · 11-19-2008, 12:07 AM

So I have a HUGE project due for my theories of persuasion class and needed help with the background research section.

Basically we were asked to write a hypothesis, do a study via descriptive style (survey based), but now I find out we need to also do research on what others have found out.

I basically need info on what factors influence exotic car sales. My hypothesis basically states that color and manufacturer are the two key factors in exotic car sales, but I need what other people have found! I found some things, but nothing too beneficial. Please help! Post links or anything you find, but it has to be credible.

i dont really understand what your asking but ill answer with what i think it is...

quality, brand(manufacturer), importing to USA/anywhere, hmm and labor ie; most exoctic car manufacturer's hand built most of their cars example; enzo, gtr etc... etc...

dont know if thats what you want but thats what i took from what you wrote. hope it helps!

I just need research, like links, websites, etc with information regarding what influences sales of exotic cars. Sorry for the confusion.

i'd be really surprised if people here have bookmarks to studies on the purchasing reasons for exotics

Hey D...i think a valuable source for this would be the DuPont Exotic Car Buyers guide. I think you have to buy it though. '

Here is a short article from them..it basically says one factor in today's exotic car market is the ability for the manufacturers to keep the powerful cars, while also considering the recent environmentally friendly trend.

I know it is not much, but hopefully it gives you something to use.

poisonivory · 11-19-2008, 10:50 AM

D Money · 11-19-2008, 11:39 AM

poisonivory · 11-19-2008, 11:47 AM

why don't you pull up a site for a local lambo/ferrari dealer, etc, etc and email the GM?

D Money · 11-19-2008, 12:39 PM

background research for this paper is very minimal. My descriptive study (survey style) is where most of my results will come from. The professor just wanted a little section of previously researched information to compare to our results in the conclusion section.
