I've also gone on a test drive helping my brother find a used truck. Nice to point out all the flaws while the dealership guy/owner is in the seat squirming to come up with excuses

>>17807682
I'm glad that I don't know that pain. I have never had a dealer or private owner sit in the car on a test drive with me. Dress nice, act like an adult, and don't give off the "just here for a joyride" vibe and they will usually not fuck with you.

eh, I've bought like 5 cars and only one time did they let me drive by myself. It was a car lot and not a dealership though. Dealers won't really let you drive alone. I do like scaring the shit out of the salesmen though, it's not like they're going to yell at me and lose a potential sale. The last guy that rode with me on a test drive was hyped as fuck when I chirped the tires hitting 3rd at WOT. Was kind of funny, like he never got to drive a car that hard.

>>17812196
Everytime I go to a car lot all of the salesman are just sitting around eating shit not doing a goddamn thing, just waiting for a potential custo. And yet they all have the same "don't waste my time" attitude. I don't get it

this happened when I went to a ford dealership a while ago
after around 10 minutes of walking around outside a dealer comes out and doesnt make eye contact. I ask if i can get some help and he says he's helping another couple and walks away
went inside and asked for some help
waited for another 5 minutes as they "got someone"
at this point a boomer couple had come in as well and were waiting for service
waited some more
boomer couple got pissed and left
when someone finally came it was some kid, spent more time nervously giving a speech about irrelevant things like the capless fuel filler
at the end i just wanted to leave so when he finally got around to asking if I was ready for a test drive I just said "nah" and left

not planning on going there ever again

New car dealership =/= Used car lots. The later usually don't have designated salespersons and workers / the owner typically do have a ton of other shit that needs to be done in addition to selling the cars.

Do you take some kind of collateral to prevent theft? It's not like their driver's license is an option.

>>17812631
yea im pretty sure the only reason stealerships like this get by is from the exorbitant amount of dealership tax they tack onto Focus RS's and GT350's
must be doing really well for themselves if they dont even give a crap about selling cars

it boggles my mind that shit like this still exists for some reason.

Subaru lot let me drive both a 07 civic and 2013 sonic with anyone riding along.
Ended up buying both and they have been great cars

In comparison the sleazy ass lot where I test drove a fucking 2004 Subaru impreza outback sport , the guy rode with me, when I complained the car was pulling heavily to the right he just told me alignments were cheap (red flag because he is technically right so why didn't they fix it unless it was a serious issue) not to mention looking deeply concerned everytime I went above 4k rpm.

Oh and my favorite part was when I first looked at it it had call for price, but after drove it he said 7400$ and we are a one price lot so pay that or fuck off essentially.

Told him I could get a wrx for that and walked the fuck out

>>17812729
Without the dealer at the Subaru lot.

He pretty much won my business and I'm probably gonna buy a new wrx or brz from him.

Oh and they let me test drive a new wrx full well knowing I wasn't buying it since i already bought 2 cars

>>17812748
It was a 04 Subaru. Well over 10 years old m8.

My local Ferd dealership let my dad test drive a 2013 Raptor two years ago. The dealer didn't ride along with us just my dad and I.

i knew something was up though because it had new aftermarket headlights and the bumper looked slightly off color wise to the rest of the car.

So once i noticed it pulling to one side i was already pretty much red flagged the fuck out.

fucker was probably wrecked at some point, oh and for a car with only 85k miles it sure drove like it had twice that (probably rolled the odometer back as well)

in contrast the subaru dealership was incredibly friendly to me and hell they sold me my sonic for 6800$ including doc fees (price lower than i could have gotten private party)

Amazon has pushed out bigger competition, thats the free market

>>17812668
Not him but if something happens they can just call the cops on you. I guess if anything they have the car you drove to get to the dealership.

>>17812668

I could hold their license, but we just get copies of them. I use to ride along with customers on test drives but it was awful and i hated it. They usually leave the car they drive in parked in the lot while test driving. I'm in a midwest state so its not much of concern they will run off. Obviously i don't let people tripping balls, fake id's, cracked out on meth, etc go by themselves or at all. Dealing cars is a ride, some related stories:

The amount of car dealing stories you get every week is unreal. I handle the wholesale auctions, h daily shit, customer interactions, customer repairs, do inhouse financing, and the repos.

>>17812816
Haven't had to call the cops yet, but have been close. 2+ hour test drives without warning and i start to get mildly concerned. My insurance doesn't cover stolen vehicles from test drives. Leaving the car they drove as collateral doesn't always work, sometimes people take the bus to the dealership (at least the customers from /o/) I have had customer cars that are out on finance get stolen before though.
