School Project Regarding Sales of V8 cars

[Game Over]

All that are willing to help me, Thanks!

I have to draft a 10 page business plan no later than 8/16/06, and I need your help.

I give you "My WORD", this is not a hoax or business proposition, I'm using this site because you are my peers (Fellow American Made Care Lovers)


(This dealership does not exist; this is currently a fictitious name for a school project. It is for an Entrepreneurial Ventures course.)

Also note, my value proposition is that will benefit from the savings of not having to pay franchise fees, sales commissions, large building overhead, or destination fees.
My cost structure would be: my costs plus a minimal profit margin percentage. (I am thinking a sliding scale; the more expensive the car is the less the percentage)

Additionally, I hope the customers would come from Americans who have an affinity toward their hard earned money staying in our economy and not to some large corporate dealership conglomerate with foreign investors.

Would you please answer the following questions for me, Please include your First Name, Last Initial, City and State in your response:

Have you purchased an American made 8 cylinder vehicle in the last 12 months?

Would you purchase an American made 8 cylinder vehicle with todays given fuel prices?

How would you most likely purchase an American made 8 cylinder vehicles; Ebay, Newspaper Ad, Dealership, CrownVic.net or similar site?

What is your biggest consideration in purchasing an American made 8 cylinder vehicles (what would make you buy one today)?

****Most Importantly (For Classroom purposes only) *****
Would you purchase an American made 8 cylinder vehicle from Game Over Motor Vehicles?

Thanks all that helped, I'll post my Final Grade at the end of the semester.
