Hey all,
I'm not overly active here, as I have been working on side projects as well as my 9-5 (or 12-9, or 6-3, or 10-7...retail hours are meh), but I have come in search of YOUR opinions.
I was recently listening to Smart Passive Income (recommended) Podcast number 170 with Remit Sethi, on the secrets of a successful product launch. My main takeaway was that he never releases a product and wonders how much it will sell - he stacks the deck beforehand by doing extensive social research into what people are literally begging to be taught about.
I have a very specific set of skills acquired from my job. Mainly, I know everything there is to know about the used-car industry. Without boring you with too many details, I spend my days analyzing actual market values, traveling to auto auctions, pricing inventory, blah blah. It's really the only thing I'm truly an expert in.
I'm conceptualizing a website with free, helpful material for the average consumer. While I conduct my days in an ethical and transparent way, no one else in the industry really does. And for a car being the second largest investment you will make in your lifetime, you really need to protect yourself with gobs of knowledge before buying one. Basically, help me give you value!
So here are my questions. And please, if I'm not asking the right questions, make up your own to answer! All input is appreciated.
1. What is the thing you are most unsure of when buying or selling your car? (i.e, value, condition, etc)
2. Do you value Kelly Blue Book and other online estimator sites as accurate?
3. Would you be interested in learning about the automotive industry?
4. Do you believe that the dealer has the upper hand?
5. Do you believe that with knowledge you could empower yourself to never lose on a car deal again?
Thanks for everyone who read through all this. Again - my goal is to offer up my expertise to provide value for a large swath of people. Everyone buys cars!
