Hi, I'm keen on getting a 350z, but have never driven one before. I'd like to do a test drive before purchasing one, but it seems the couple of dealers I've visited only allow a test drive once the deal has been made a price agreed and then allow the drive as a formality. I've found this to be rather odd, as I've always been able to test drive cars at main dealers for Mercedes and Volkswagen in the past by just showing the smallest amount of interest in a vehicle. Having never purchased from an independent dealer before, is this normal practice? Is there anywhere I could test drive a 350z? Preferably in the south of the country.
I also considered hiring a 350z for the day but can't seem to find anywhere online that does this. Any ideas? Thanks
