Market indexesStorefront Audit
Every market measured so far.
Three market indexes and one 48-store census, all dated. Each index is the same idea: a fixed battery of buyer questions, asked signed out. The three market indexes run against the biggest-reviewed used-car dealers in that market; the census runs against 48 franchised stores. The dates and engines below come from each page's own methodology section.
| Market | Engine | Date | Battery | Field |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 48 franchised stores, CA, NY, VA | ChatGPT, signed out | 24 and 25 September 2026 | buyer questions, each asked twice, a day apart | 48 franchised stores |
| Dallas, TX | ChatGPT | 31 August 2026 | 20 questions | 20 stores, ranked by review count |
| Hickory, NC | Perplexity Sonar | 23 Jul, 8 Aug, 14 Aug (am), 14 Aug (pm) 2026 | 15 questions, four runs | 18 stores, ranked by review count |
| Clearwater, FL | Perplexity Sonar | 22 July 2026 | 15 questions | 18 stores, ranked by review count |
Every run is a snapshot from its own date. AI answers change over time, so a later run on the same market can move without anything at the dealership changing. That is the finding, not an error.
