Test Drive

dipsy

Hi

I would like to test drive some Convertibles, any body know of any decent length of test drives, don't want to go out for 1/2 hour would like to be able to drive it over a 24hr + period, looking to buy in July, so the Pegeout one is out as theres is for August....

Any help appreciated

Hello dipsy

I'll move your thread to the 'Motoring & Public Transport' board.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

The only way is to try and ask your dealer nicely what they can do, but to be honest they are unlikely to want to let their demonstrator go out for that long this time of year!

I had the same issue a couple of years back, and only one garage managed to let me have a car for an afternoon, and that was a push. I think its far easier on main stream stuff where they may run several demonstrators.

Let me get this straight... you want a convertable for the hottest month for an entire day?

A dealer would be mad!

Register with Ford Talkback - https://www.talkbackclub.com - you can maybe request a weekend test drive on the Focus CC. The site is supposed to be for company car drivers - but you never know, you might get lucky.

Errr said looking to buy in July ... that leaves June to test drive... Pegeout are doing a 24 hour test drive but NOT till August........ I didn't think June was the hotest month, prepared to be proved wrong....

Now is not really the best time to buy a convertible as you're buying in the "convertible season." That means you are unlikely to get a huge discount and waiting times may be longer.

If you really want to buy a convertible, always try and purchase one (new or secondhand) in the Winter - thats when they don't sell and therefore dealers will be more willing to give you more off (especially with cars that are already in stock in the showroom).

I know that but I want one now not for next summer................... and would prefer saab or volvo as cars of preference
