Break-In a New Car

Yes, I have tons of evidence to backup my claim. In fact, I have 3,000 binders full of documented and certified proof from Mr. Nissan himself.

Did you actually believe my comment? I guess so since you believed the sales person about no break-in required. No offense to you, this isn't personal, but it makes no sense why you would buy a new car and run it almost to redline prior to reading the manual. You already drove it to 7k so why even ask now? What difference would asking the question make?

Will it damage anything? Probably not...but it wasn't a very smart thing to do in the first place.

You are right...it does not make a difference now and no offense taken.

My car is a auto. All I did was punch the gas for a second and the car took off. I wanted to see how quick it accelerated. This was during my test drive. I remember the rpms shooting up to 7000 before coming right down as I slowed down right away. I just find it amazing that you can buy a car without driving it and testing to see how it handles and how much power it has etc.

When you guys test drove your cars, did you not drive them somewhat hard?

As for the salesperson. Yes I did believe him. I had no reason not too.

If that's all you did should be fine. And no, I don't trash new cars when I test drive them regardless if I end up buying one. It doesn't belong to me.

I never said trash new cars. Everyone test drives a car before they buy it. Not "trashes it".

Some people are just born angry I guess.

Some people know how to read a manual I guess...

Funny how you go out of your way to post and bring negativity. I simply asked a question on a forum where questions are to be asked.

You seem to have issues in your life where you need to come on to a forum and take time out of your day to be negative. hopefully you deal with those issues one day.
