 Test Drives Does your dealer let you take the car out on your own? I asked to take the Convertible out but my dealer is insisting that he comes with me. Last edited by LMB; Jul 24th, 2004 at 07:07 PM.  |

| It's all about the individual dealers insurance. Some let you take a car out alone others do not  The original dealer I had used to, but after they had two cars written off and one stolen they stopped that. MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime   Unofficial MINI2.com bean counter  |

| Actually on the subject of taking your girlfriend too I took an MR2 out a few years ago with wifey as passenger. The salesman just gave me the keys and a suggested route. 260909   Last edited by Shamster; Jul 26th, 2004 at 07:27 AM. |

| Never had any bother, always been told to take it and bring the car back in x hours. Just out of interest who was it (if you want to name them?) |

| I believe it's an insurance thing When they see Mo coming for a test drive the premium goes up Serious now, my dealer once gave loaners out on there insurance, now they don't. Never seen them let someone test drive a car on their own either  |

| I had a mini cooper demonstrator for 24 hours,obviously the salesperson didn't come with me.All i had to do was to insure the vehicle and supply them with the proof.I think my insurance was £7 extra(i pay by direct debit anyway) for the 24 hours.I didn't buy a cooper but i bought a nicely specced one and i've got an 05 replacement one on order for september.Wasn't thinking of changing but the deal seemed really good and i ain't gonna be payin' much more than i'm paying now,plus i can have all the options that i should have ordered on my first one. |
