I recently traded in my tree-hugger Prius for a Mini Cooper Countryman, which I love.. I liked my Prius but got tired of being unable to pull out from a cold stop quickly and wanted something more upscale.. Since buying the car two months ago, I have received 12 surveys. The first one I did since it was from Mini Cooper. I had a fantastic experience buying it from my dealer and have been very happy with the car. Maybe that was my first mistake – taking the survey.
Over this past weekend, I received 4 more different survey packets in the mail, all wanting to know about my new car buying experience and the features, and one I would almost interpret as a “why did you not buy American” since that was the sort of question. I just threw all of them in the recycle bin. I have never had this many requests for information after buying a car.
I cannot say anything more specific other than that they were all very long, and none of them gave me any real incentive to complete them. All would enter me in a sweepstakes to win $50 or an iPad.
