CRS Unveils Wantfacts.com: A Website for Powersports Consumers

 

WESTMINSTER, Mass., June 1, 2005 -- Consumer Research Solutions, Inc. today announces the launch Wantfacts.com, a high-performance website that gives consumers a tool to research, compare, build and price their dream powersports vehicle—motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, scooters, utility vehicles and personal watercraft—from the comfort of their personal computer.

 

At Wantfacts.com, visitors can search by feature, build models, generate comparisons and access used retail values tracked by NADA Appraisal Guides. Visitors can check out new model year product information, view products across all major manufacturers, learn about products before making a buying decision and even drill down to the specs, standard features, optional equipment and color swatches.

 

“Wantfacts.com helps powersports buyers shop smarter. It gives them a better way to research their vehicle purchases before heading to a dealer,” said CRS President Steve Caisse.  

 

How Wantfacts.com works:

 

Search by feature

Wantfacts.com goes to work as soon as you enter your model criteria—MSRP ranges, engine size, number of seats and more—and shows you what motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, scooters, utility vehicles or personal watercraft fit your requirements. Discover models that fit your lifestyle that you may have not considered.  

 

Build your model

Wantfacts.com sports an interactive build feature that lets you add optional equipment to get a total MSRP. Not only will you see all of the manufacturer accessories that are available for your desired model, but you’ll also learn how to customize your model to ensure you’re purchasing the right product—all before heading to your local dealer.

 

Comparisons

Wantfacts.com offers side-by-side model comparisons so you’ll see how they stack up against each other. These comparisons let you view specifications and feature availability across multiple models and give you complete model reports at a glance. Plus, the Wantfacts.com team has compiled possible competing models for you to check out or compare to any model in the Wantfacts.com database.
