If I ever decide to buy a brand new car I sure as hell don't want it to have been test driven by dumbfucks... dealerships know this and that's why they won't let people test drive them ... anymore than 20 miles and something's up.

However... I'm a hypocrite... I've driven a GTS Viper, NSX, and my first Z06 all by lying. With the Z06 I took my Cobra in (all detailed) and expressed my interes to upgrade to a "real car" salesman and I were haggling over price when he says, "drive the car and you'll see it's worth the price" I took it out for a nice drive, got the oil temp up, then gave her hell... way faster than the stock LS1's I'd driven... I was hooked. Dude tried so hard for me to buy the car then and there... I found a nice scratch down the left side and refused it.

The Viper was a blast... I go up to Foriegn Cars Italia every time I'm at my parents house in Greesnboro, NC. They know I'm not serious but sometimes they're borred. Salesman and I were shooting the shit about the viper ( I had the Z ) and he says wanna try it out? (it's too small for me to fit in, but nice and fast).

I got turned down for the 360 spyder testdrive though...

Haha I work right across from you at Domino's Pizza . You have probably seen a white Stealth parralell parked on that St. Do you live on the Street by Van Buren?

Damn this thread is old.

My boyfriend and I often go up to the Porsche/BMW dealership here just to browse around and see what they have. His father told us about a used z8 that was up there, so we decided to go check it out. We drove the s2000 there, and my boyfriend was driving. Literally as soon as we pulled up a salesman came out and was like "I've always wanted to see one of these in motion"...um..okay? They've been out 6 years and you haven't seen one moving yet? LOL.

We get inside and we're checking out the z8 and he's like man let's take this for a drive. Harris was like- haha OKAY, thinking he was joking. He goes "Nah you drive an s2000 you're qualified!!" haha wtf... so Harris gets to take out the z8 for a test drive. We think the salesman really wanted to drive it too and that's why he was so quick to offer a drive. Once they got out the salesman "Demonstrated" the traction control by doing donuts in the parking lot... haha.

Just goes to show its all about the car you pull up in and the way you're dressed- sadly.

I work at a Subaru dealership, and our sales department almost never lets people test drive STi's. Its mostly because they don't want people wasting their time doing joy rides.

yup.

My favorite part about selling cars was that I'd sneak off with nice cars all the time... that's when I first realized how disappointed I was with the R32. I did actually kind of like the Legacy GT though, but it's not for me. Phaeton's are nice too.. You feel like you're driving a Bentley.

best thing about working at a Benz dealership: taking the AMG cars off the show room and "charging the battery" for 15 minutes

I bought my STI with 5 miles on it. I woldnt have it any other way! But they did let me test drive a blue one (it probably helped that I pulled up in a wrx)
