Hey, that doesn´t sound very.....cool.
Before I would buy a car, a test drive with it for a couple of miles (need to test every gear!) is a must! Without it, I would say - sorry, but there are other options.
Please tell me your experience - is it that problem to test a vette before the buy?
I think it just depends. Dealers are rightfully concerned about having just anyone take a high performance car out for a spine. Probably the younger you are, the less likely it will happen. More than likely, they get kids wanting to just drive a Corvette any way they can, with absolutely no intention of actually buying it. So could you blame them for being a bit circumspect about who they lend the keys to? Heck, I knew if I had one of mine up for sale, I certainly would be real critical about who takes it out for a spin........
