In this video, I tell you how to test drive a new car alone at a dealership. If you are interested in buying a car, and want to test drive it, I outline a method that has worked for me many times! It allows the salesperson to know that you are serious about buying the car and allows them to be more willing to let you take it out for a test drive.

I literally bought my mom's car in Nike shorts, a Nike long sleeve and beat up vans. Treated just fine, and got a good deal.

The very first mustang gt I've ever test drove I was wearing sweats, a hoodie, and slides. I let them copy my license and they threw me the keys. It also rained during the test drive too lol. I still visit them when I have free time and test drive stuff

Most definetly good advice here. One thing I would add is if there is a particular car you like check the rental car agencies to see if you can rent that particular model. Do a 5 day rental. Some may consider that a waste of money, but it's not. Doing a rental by far is the best way to see if the car fits you. Take it on a long road trip to see how the ride comfort is. Also, over a few days gives you time to operate all the bells and whistles on the car without the pressure of a salesman with you. I've done this before and by far is the best money spent.

Sorry, why on EARTH would anyone go on a test drive with the dealer in the driver’s seat? If you’re potentially spending thousands on a car and can’t drive it, it’s time to walk out the door. And if the dealer IS driving, why would you give them a driver’s license? You don’t need insurance or good credit to be a passenger!

They're saying to test drive the car with the dealer in the passenger seat.

Hi, I have just been refused to test drive a car altogether, not even with the sale person. The sale person said at first due to covid-19 social distancing, I would test drive alone as he can't be in the car with me , then he later said oh the insurance was not approved with no clear reason why and that i could not test drive the car at all. He did allow me to look at the car but at this point, I lost interest, I did not try to convince him but rather just accept the fact i was not allow to test drive, he tried to say i should buy it then i be able to test drive which i refused as i am not buying without test driving so i left and will not be returning. facts to consider, it was by first car i was buying, i am 25 years old and only has my licence for 9 months. Share your thoughts on this? oh also they asked for my NI number? is that even allowed? i did not provide it tho simply becuz i did not have it or know it from memory. I went with my brother to the car dealership, not alone. Overall, something felt off.

Rushelle Williams I don’t care if you’ve had your license for a day, you should have been able to test drive. Doesn’t matter why they treated you that way (most likely because your black and female and young) it’s just good you didn’t give them your business. Keep going to other dealers and know your worth 👍

@@seanmhobson thank you. Just to provide an update. I did call off the deal with that dealership. I went to another one who was much more professional. They allow me to test drive the car despite social distancing as he wore PPE. Thanks very much.

Rushelle Williams good for you! Congrats. Hope you enjoy the new car. I just did a test drive today and had decent vibes, but I was also wearing a suit so I’m sure that helps. Stuff we shouldn’t really have to do. But I’m glad you got you’re car! 👍👏🏿

Dealers refuse to let my wife and I test drive alone. All the salesperson does is try to pump info out of you while we're driving. O now sternly say ok if you have to go please do not speak.

Exactly! This guy is advocating for a whole submissive attitude from the buyer to the dealer. We’re currently shopping for a car (some 2024 Honda/Toyota/Mazda econobox appliance) for our 16-year old and usually the salespeople leave us alone to test drive. I don’t go begging for a test drive or wear anything fancier than the Patagonia synchilla I’d wear in the CA early-spring evening anyway. I’m brisk, not rude, but also not servile and accommodating. The one time (when test driving a Mazda 3) the sales guy wanted to tag along and attempted to chit chat to harvest info I told him right away that he needs to be quiet. I’m trying to listen to the car’s sounds, so making friends can wait. Please and thanks, but yeah, shhhhhhh! I don’t humor these people: I can pay cash (which I don’t tell them until much later) and if I want to finance I have top-tier credit. So, I act accordingly and don’t let them take control of the terms of the test drive. Everything’s on a need to know basis, and test drives are usually fine and without a dealership chaperone.

Likewise. I really wanted a definitive video on checking things during the test drive that I might not have thought about. The advice he offered was really bad, too. Don’t go sitting down in the dealership and allow these people to waste your time. Definitive don’t discuss price before test driving-unless you’ve actually test driven the car elsewhere.
