My dealer salesman asked me if I wanted to try a GTR on a test-drive on a visit to the dealereship a while back. (I had already had my 370 for a few months when this happened.) I really wanted to, but declined. Here's my reason....

If you were the purchaser of the GTR that had been test drove, wouldn't you have serious concerns about how the miles (that had accumulated on the car) had been driven? I know that when I test drive a performance car, I try and see just what it's capable of. I did it with the two 370's that I test drove (read: I drove the snot out of them). So, judging by just my experience test driving the car, I sure wouldn't want one that had been agressively driven.

(But, I still want to try one. Just try not to buy the one that I test drove

)

They must've been really desperate for sales. That or the car was used, or a dud. No self respecting dealership will let people go for a joy ride in their flagship supercar. On the other hand, you wouldn't happen to have the dealer's address, would you?

Yes, the car was new (they had three of them). The dealership was Sherwood Nissan.
