Well, one of the ways to not sell a car is when you've got someone booked in to go on a test drive is to give them a demonstrator model that when you turn the key all the warning lights come on and do not go off at all throughout the test drive. Yeah, that totally sells the car and your stock and general credibility to me. So, that was the VW dealer. Who probably gave the Nissan dealer on the other side of town the easiest sale of their life.

Seriously, if you cannot take the time to make sure the demonstrator model is in working order how can you expect anyone to believe that you care about the product you are trying to sell? That is like running a cake shop and everytime someone asks for a sample you send them home with a little slice of human shit in a cardboard box.

WTF is the point of driving a "demonstrator" model? You test drive the specific car you want to buy to make sure everything sounds, looks and feels like it ought to.

I was pretty much going to say this.

Take it up with the motor industry, it is part of their industry model. You go, drive a car of the same model and general type as the one you want then if you like it you can order an actual car with/without some of the general spec.

With some caveats in my case because it is part funded through a help-to-buy scheme. Which means I have limited choice in color (I can have any color as long as it is gray (although I would have said it was more of a silver, but meh) and certain options are off limits (no alloys, sports bodykit, etc).

I don't think I understand it either. I'm in the UK and my test drive was in the car I went on to purchase. I can't understand not getting to drive the actual car you're hoping to buy.

In Germany, it depends - a new car is almost always a test car and you order the car after that accordning to your wishes. But a test drive with a used car would always be the exact car you're possibly going to buy.

Similar thing happened when I test drove a Honda CR-V. I also ended up buying a Nissan.

Yeah, I mean know demonstrator models are worked hard (which is why so many people get a massive discount on a six month old car if it is ex-demonstrator) but really they need to check that stuff out before handing the customer over the keys. Its one thing if a light comes on mid-drive, but for them to be on from the start? That is just crappy service and maintenance right there.

The thought of a demo model is bad enough to me. I mean, if I'm going to buy a car, I want to test drive that exact car, not a different one.
