Must be a geographic difference. Here in Michigan I have never had a sales rep with me.

 

Car parts and a full bottle of wiper fluid. You see accident, I see upgrades. I wonder if the buckets would fit in my car.

 

Must be, I've driven up in a Shelby and they wouldn't let me drive an Explorer without a salesman with me.

 

Agree, no salesman ever. In fact they'll pretty much let (encourage) you take anything overnight. Scott

 

Same here Lee I drove my Boss to the dealership with my daughters to test drive the new EB '15 but the salesman still came along! The salesman said before we got in that maybe the girls should wait at the dealership while we test drive! I told him they're going along or we aren't going! We all went! :-)

 

EFF that! I probably would have left right then. No way in hell I'm leaving my kid alone with a bunch of strangers, especially creepy, slick **** car salesmen, most of them even give me the creeps.

 

I've put car seats into cars for test drives


My kids go with me from 0-18


I would have been like slow your roll Chester Molester

 

They wouldn't even let me test drive my BOSS, they said if you want it sign here, if not someone else is waiting to fill the seat. They assured me however it would spank my Corvette trade both in acceleration and handling. They were right on both counts, plus a $5K discount and $18K trade on the '04 'Vette. Test ride, or no test drive, it was a no-brainer!

 

There is no way I'm buying a car and not test driving it first. For example, last year I test drove a new 2013 Challenger R/T. The car had a vibration in the front end. It might have been something minor or something more serious but I don't like buying things that have problems right off the bat.

Here in MO, it depends on what vehicle it is whether or not they let you test drive alone. I'm 47 years old and I didn't get to drive the Challengers or Mustang by myself. Had to have a salesman in every case.
