-
You Will Need
-
Step 1:
-
By Appointment
-
To save time, call in advance and tell the sales staff that you are looking at one or two particular models. Giving them a heads up means you are a serious buyer and that they should be standing by to accommodate your test drive.
-
Step 2:
-
Game Face
-
Be professional. Don't be overly excited at the prospect of driving your future car for the first time. Always keep your poker face and never show your inner glee.
-
Step 3:
-
Use All Your Senses
-
Once you're behind the wheel, it is important to observe the car using all of your senses. This is the place where, you as the driver, will come to know the vehicle. Use your nose for more than appreciating the ever-enticing "new-car smell."
-
Step 4:
-
Control The Salesman
-
Kindly tell the salesman that this is your test drive and you'd prefer to listen to the motor, the sound system or the sounds of the vehicle instead of their voice. The worst case scenario, is that the salesman may be jabbering to cover up a mystery noise.
-
Step 5:
-
Off The Beaten Path
-
Make sure you drive this vehicle in similar situations as you will be driving the car, if it were your own, on side streets, hills, start and stop traffic or freeways.
