A friend and i juss went to riverside (CA) toyota because he's thinking about getting the new xB. We're both 21 and just finished class over at UCR and were wearing shorts and t-shirts. The guy let us test drive it without checking insurance or grabbing our licenses. My dad wanted to test drive the new titans, but the dealer gave us a hard time so we just left (my dads about 50 with PERFECT credit). Pretty much what i am saying is, it varies from dealerships. some will be awesome while others will be total asses.

Thing is, it also matters what you drive into the dealership as well. I took my car in, clean as can be (to look like a trade in), and I was able to test drive an 06 GTO for almost half an hour I think.. (ended up catching a lot of traffic on the freeway). However, no matter what the case, be prepared to talk to the dealer a lot afterwards... unless you like looking like an ***hole and just leaving right away.

Good luck. You could also find an ad on autotrader near you and go test drive it with a private owner.

I could see a saleman turning a test drive down to a 17 year old. At that age you hardly qualify to make more than $10 an hour, so without your parents theres no way in hell you could get close to paying the payment on a 40k vehicle. Better start mowing the lawns

Dear Mods,
can you guys please make a "Pipe Dreamer" or "Window Shopper" section for all the "So guys, I'm 16 and thinking about buying a $30K sports car" posts?
Honestly, I've been coming here since I "bought" my car in '04 and this place really has deteriorated from useful advice from actual 350 owners to a bunch of kids asking douche bag questions like the OP!

There is no way Hertz would rent a car to an 18 year old.

Hey Mods, can you please make a forum for jealous losers such as WYZIWYG. Stop hating on people just because they are more fortunate than you when you were a kid. The fact that he is in your opinion "spoiled" doesn't mean he wont work as hard as you or harder when he gets older.
