So, he ask me if I have full coverage insurance I say yes then he asks me if I am 25 or older I say no.. he says well you cant test drive it.. So im like WTF why ? He says cause ur not 25 I'm like so, I test drove a 350Z here back when you had em.. he says "wow, idk why but they shouldnt have.." So im really pissed I'm like fine I'll take my money to another dealer. So I walk outside and ask the guy cleaning the cars why he says its there insurance policy.. I think its

l.. how am I supposed to know how she drives if I can only stare at her.. plus to make it worse this is the dealer that has the exact car I want..

I have been in contact with multiple local dealerships in the past month, and no one wants to sell me a car. Im 26 by the way, and I have test driven 3 times, but they act like they dont want my buisness. I dont know what is going on. I even have a great down payment.

Well, I've been denied a test drive of STi, an EVO X, and had two Nissan dealers deny me a test drive of the 370 (ironically Infiniti allowed me to test the more expensive G37S). A third Nissan dealer let me test drive a 370 but it was a demo with 1000 km on it. A fourth Nissan dealer let me test drive a new yellow 370, which I ended up buying.

Now, I can understand being denied a test drive of a scuderia, or r8, or even a gt-r for that matter, but come on. These are just 40000 dollar cars that will lose half their value in a couple of years anyway. They're by no means exotic cars. They all told me I have to make a deal and put a deposit first before getting a test drive!?!?!?! Heck, I was allowed to test drive the much more upscale 335i, no questions asked. Personally, those dealers that pulled off this no test drive stunt with me, I just tell them to go screw themselves and take my money and my business elsewhere. They need my money much more than I need their car.
