Where Did The Vehicle Come From?

If you find that the car came from a different dealer then you can probably assume it is a hard sell. If used cars were bought at an auction you will want to check to make sure that it has been fully checked for any problems.

What Length Of Time Will You Be Able To Take The Car For A Test Drive?

Don’t bring anyone with you if they are going to be too distracting you definitely don’t want to bring the kids. The point of the test drive is to get a feel for the car and to listen for strange noises so don’t get into conversation with the dealer. The silence may also make the dealer feel a bit uncomfortable and they may let some useful information slip in other to fill the void.
