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 have no problems if potential customers test drives mine,but according to Nation Wide there will be a Sales Representative by your side!!

I have absolutely NO PROBLEM if a salesman or the owner sits next to me during the test drive.
It is preferred by myself, then he or she could explain a little bit and could lead me through the traffic.

But if it´s generally not wished for taking it out for a ride, indifferent if I go out alone or with someone who takes care of the car, then I have a problem.

Perhaps they are more cooperative then the german guy said

I know mine is not the car for you.

I fully expect a potential buyer to test drive mine. I also fully expect to be in the passenger seat during the test drive. I personally wouldn't purchase any car without test driving it.

It's going to vary from dealer to dealer. In fact sometimes a salesman may be more nervous in a dealership than the next salesman in the same dealership that wants to get the commission from the sale. If you show mature behavior, and ask that the salesman go with you there is a better chance that you will get the test drive you hope for.

My only intention is getting one of their cars. Ok, they don´t know that.
Maybe they will be afraid that I´m "only" 24 and they believe I´m not able to buy it. Oh man, maybe a lot of cash could help.
Don´t know either how to pay - credit card would cost me a lot of fees (1,85 % of the whole amount) and a lot of your dollars in my pocket make me nervous, too.
My preferred payment method would be a regular transfer from my bank account in germany to the dealers/sellers one. Fast and I can do it from every computer, so he can see that I have the money to pay for the car.

Just 19 days ahead

Ask your bank to issue you a "Letter of Credit"

Hey Jim,
I took a look on this selling thread, but a missing HUD and the 85k miles
don´t put my interest on it. I will not have a second chance for getting a vette in the near future, so it has to be nearly perfect for me and shall fit my conditions.
I believe, that you and the rest of the forum know the seller and his vette and that it´s a fair and honest deal, but it won´t be mine.
2 more weeks to go - then I will find out for what I´ve made the journey.
