Solution

The scenario described in the question is an example of biased sampling. The car dealership is specifically targeting customers who have purchased more than two vehicles in the past five years. This means that the survey will only include a specific subset of customers, potentially excluding those who have only purchased one vehicle or who have not made a purchase within the specified time frame. Therefore, the sample is not representative of the entire customer population, leading to sampling bias.
