Can I Get Some Help With A School Project?

[YoungJi]

Hi guys,

I need some help with a school project that is due over the holidays for my entrepreneurship/small business ownership class -- which involves making a business plan.

Since I my parents own an IS300, and I like them very much, I decided to make a mock business that makes parts exclusively for Lexus.

The problem I have, is that I don't have primary research on Lexus related anything - and it’s hard to find secondary sources. I want to do well, and I couldn't think of any better way but to ask my fellow Lexus owners for some true enthusiasts’ responses.

So I came here with a small survey! If you could help me out by responding to it, it would be great!

Age:

Gender:

Location: Country, State/Province

Annual Salary:

How old your Lexus is:

What type of Lexus do you drive:

Have you ever bought aftermarket parts:

Do you buy aftermarket parts online? Storefront? Other (specify)

What type of aftermarket parts did you purchase? Accessories/Performance/Both?

Hopefully I get some responses.

Thank you very much if you do! You're definitely helping me out.

Authorized by Steve Barnes =P

Thanks Steve.

You will find that, as with anywhere, people will be reticent about listing there annual salary in such a public forum.

To help - I have added a poll to the top of your post listing a broad range of salaries - people can use that to indicate this information to you anonymously.

If you are really lucky - the members who have already replied, will fill the poll retrospectively :D

[YoungJi]

Thanks everyone, and thanks for making the Salary bar!

[YoungJi]

.... after looking at the cars all you guys drive, I feel sorta dry. lol! In Canada very few people have IS300s, let alone modified and no 3SGE Black Top =(!!!.

Civics though, are heavily modified here... and I hate em. All the teenagers and early twenty doods with old CRXs and such change the tail lights and add a loud tip trying to scare people into thinking their car is fast. GRRRR.

It's definitely nice change to see that the IS300 is in full force over there.
