What are the chances of a test drive prior to purchase?
Had a casual conversation with a buddy at lunch and he mentioned this car wouldn't be available for a test drive for a while since most that arrive are already spoken for. I haven't checked with my local Subie dealer yet but are any of you guys going in for a test drive before purchasing? Did your local dealer mention if that was possible?
It seems the best thing to do would be to get on the list and put a deposit down. I believe most are allowing you to test drive it before you sign the purchase agreement. In other words you can decide NO at the last minute. Is that true? |

Yes, when your car arrives for your pre-order you will be allowed to test drive and can say no at the last second.

If you pre ordered you can test drive, otherwise, wait for an unallocated car.
No offense but I don't want you or anyone else testdriving a car I've already "bought".

That last part is so good, I just thought it should be restated for the good of the order. To anybody else with questions, I hope it's clear.

Some dealers have a mule of some kind available but given the demand on this car they don't need to keep one for themselves... i get it. Just trying to get some feedback on how test drives are being given around the country. Thanks guys! |

I'll test drive mine before signing the papers, but I bet I won't be the first person to do so. First BRZ in may mean everyone in the dealership takes it for test drives before calling me to let me know my car arrived. It would be in the dealer's best interest to keep it in the showroom. Either way, I think there's some motive behind holding the car themselves for a week or two. I won't be happy if the car either has a bunch of miles or it's their showroom piece.

I made sure they understood I didn't want anyone else in my car, and he said " well the master tech has to drive it to make sure everything is ok, then I'll take the keys and hide them from everybody" I plan to be there when or before the truck gets there. If they try anything they won't like the way I'll respond to multiple people jumping in and going for a joy ride.
