Extended test drives ?

A new heading has just appeared today on "Subaru.co.uk "

It reads "Extended Test Drives and Rental" although there is no infromation available if you click on the link.

Hands up everyone who fancies an extended test drive !

Apologies for the fact that I have no idea how to do those link things, I guess I was off that day

P.S> Just to show you how good I am with these things I posted this in Members Gallery by mistake. I knew it was a mistake doing Technical Drawing instead of ICT at school

LOL.

From what i remember about the subaru website it was a rental some dealers were doing on some but not all cars. If you then bought that model they'd discount the rental cost from the purchase price!

BU*GER !

Yup, no WRx's or Sti's.

i had a whoe day test drive of a 03sti from fiskens in forfar,popped in and they handed the keys to me and told me to come back when i had finished,spot on as ever

I got an overnight test drive from Quemby's in Baldock - just had to insure it and top it up with fuel.

Had a couple of days in an STi off Showells in Stourbridge. Even put a full tank of go go juice in it for me.

Top service! :D

Blimey! :eek: My local dealer wouldn't let me even take the car out on my own for an hour...let alone a whole of day! Still bought one though...although not from his dealership! :p How could I when another dealer offered £1600 more off the price! :D

I brought a car home, tried it in the garage, went to Sainsburys and picked the kids up from school. Just had to be back before they closed! No problem, I was amazed, but that's how it should be. You need to see how the car performs in it's everyday role not just how it drives for 10 mins!!!

That's why I then bought a Vectra! (no only kidding! Bought a Scoob a week later)

I bought mine after an hours test, supervised, but I wouldn't buy another car unless I get at least a days rental of them.

When I tested a Lexus they had no problem with letting me have it all day! It was worth more than the scoob too! :rolleyes:

Is quite a bit more info on there now chaps ;)
There is even an artcle about it in my local rag (Bucks Advertiser) today

Have rung Adams and put my name on the list
Just wanted a little spin in an STi as i have now left the fold :(
Will probably sh!t meself as i only have an almera now :eek:

My dealer (Sheffield-based) just hands the keys over, after you've signed the insurance docs, and asks if an hour will be enough. Unaccompanied of course...:) Great stuff!:D

Definitely helps to sell cars, unlike the local Merc dealer, who wouldn't even book me a test drive in a E 270 CDi without going through a contract hire quote hoop.... :Whatever_

Streuth - just bought mine after 20 min drive thru Derby! - Leap of faith!

Dealer has given us the keys to a bug eye wrx (when they were new) and a blob eye wrx and just said come back whenever you want lol :)

Fun day blatting over the moors, didn't even have to insure it ourselves or top up the petrol :)

Even better was that the dealer (an official subaru one as well) is also a shell garage so had a full tank of optimax :)

Me! It seems to be a new promotion by Subaru - 24 or 48 hour test drives. Submitted my details via their website last night, they phoned back this morning - so now I will have a WRX demonstrator to play with all day Wednesday!

A very good service really :cool: but due to the power and possible abuse of the car by Test Pilots with no intent in buying, they must Vet the candidates ;) IMHO

Supervised :rolleyes: I was running out of Salesmen at my dealership :( for some reason they didn't want to go out with me for a second time :Suspiciou

Lots of get outs in the terms and conditions - must be over 30 for WRX or STI, dealer may refuse test at their discretion for licence endorsements, accidents / claims history, etc. Also dealer may refuse test without explanation, so if they suspect you're not genuine, no drive.

Think I'm genuine enough tho', and with a remarkably clean licence too ;)

I'm booked in, got my call back this morning :) 36, wrx sti on order to test for 24 hours. Phoning back tuesday to give me details of where to pick it up from :)

wooooohooooooo! ! ! ! ! :)
