Anyone tried to test drive a GTR?

ADmaster71690 · 11-24-2009, 11:17 PM

but how would they know if you are serious or not? for example if i go up to a dealership and say i want to buy a GTR, how would they sort the serious buyers vs. the tire kickers out?

From what my dealer told me when I bought my Z: The dealers won't let you test drive a GT-R unless you go in there, tell them you are serious, and they run a credit check/run partial financing approval to guarantee that you are serious about buying the car. They won't let just anyone test drive it. They have sold one to a local DJ, and if I remember correctly to a mid-20's kid that had made it big in IT/Software development. Hell, the dealer wouldn't even let the salesmen sit in the GT-R, and I think they said the owner of the dealership is the only one that goes on test drives with the potential buyer.

No test drives at the dealership i went to. They have the GT-R taped off like a crime scene. Won't even let me sit in it.

My dealer treated the Nismo I bought about the same as the GTR. Every time I went in there, they would ask people to step away from it if they were leaning on it, touching the glass/paint, etc.

I got kind of mad one day I was in there though, because one of the salesmen was leaning on the spoiler of the Nismo (weeks before I bought it). How could someone be so inconsiderate? I can see touching the paint or glass, or even kicking the door panel while sitting in it...but propping yourself up on the spoiler of a 40k car that "someone" (me, haha) might eventually buy? Ugh.

They wouldn't let me even sit in the GTR, even though they tried to sell it to me. Kinda bummed, oh well.
