    I do agree with the fact about why no test pilots. How is someone suppose to experience the car and see if they want to purchase the car based on driving ability and performance if your not going to let them test it out?

    Bump for a sweet car though...

    Unless you're interested in purchasing the car 1) it shouldn't matter if the seller allows test pilots or not and 2) you shouldn't be posting in this thread. If you guys want to post a thread to discuss this, then go ahead, just not in someone's FS thread....

    Well If you interested in purchasing the car 1)You want to be able to test it out to see if there is anything wrong with the car as well as performance and 2)There's no harm in letting someone test out your car even for a few minutes as long as your beside them(It's not like you can't tell them to stop driving if your not driving properly) and 3)you shouldn't be posting in this thread as well then.

    So are you interested in the car or no? And I think test pilot here only means people that go and test drive the car without any intention in purchasing it, which does happen with a popular car like this. and if you have yet to realize, he is also a mod.

    I'm just saying that anyone can come along and say they are interested in your car just so they can test it out so really...your never gonna know if the person actually is a test pilot or an actually interested potential buyer

    That's true..i could just go up to someone selling a really nice car and pretend i'm so interested and ask a whole bunch of questions then i'll be considered an interested potential buyer when really i just want to test out the car. There really is no point in saying no test pilots. if you arn't going to let anyone test out the car (with you in it so they don't bag it) until they buy it..you might as well just keep the car for yourself!

    i wouldn't be allowing anyone to test my car out either unless i knew them well. how do you know if they know how to drive stick? they can damage your car, cost you money, and leave you with a car that is worth less.

    if i'm selling a car, i will gladly take someone for a ride, but there is no way in hell i will risk damaging the vehicle by letting someone who might not buy the car drive it.

    if the person wont let you drive their vehicle before buying it, dont buy it. This situation happens cause someone is worried about the car, and really doent want to part with it that badly, or 2, they are scamming you. either way, walk away. (IMO)

    also when you post your car FS and some punk ass 16 year old comes up with a huge smile on his face asking at what RPM you hit full boost when he wants to "test drive" it...

    well I mean you can usually tell when someone is just here to test drive without intention to buy the car... as for kids, you can tell they are more interested if they bring along the parents and what not. I do agree, however, that some people still dont want potential buyer to test drive the car, plainly becuase the damange will be out of the owners pocket... but i will never buy a car then I cant test drive it myself. Guess its a risk either side must take...

    Thread should be closed. This is subjective and up to personal disgression. Personally... Your a tool for caring.. If you don't get a test run.. and thats truely what you want, don't get the bloody thing.

    I've found people will say 'No Test Pilots' in there ads however if you go see the person and you are seriously interested in purchasing the vehicle they will let you drive it.

    When I sold my car some kid showed up and asked to drive it. Showed no real interest so I said no. Another kid shows up with his dad asks a bunch of questions talk about the price a little and then he asks if they can drive it. They showed interest so I said sure.

    I don't know if this relates to anything you guys are saying because I didn't feel like reading all the posts after I seen the first couple.

    Another thing to consider, if you only have PLPD coverage on the car, and somebody takes it for a test drive and crashes, you're out the repairs. You gave them permission to drive the vehicle, and they're not liable for the damages they caused. Or so says Judge Judy
