What is a Test Drive Vehicle?
2 Answers
Test drive vehicles are cars provided by 4S stores or car dealerships for potential buyers to test drive. Generally, because various vehicle performances are tested during the test drive, drivers may engage in driving behaviors unsuitable for the vehicle's break-in period, such as sudden acceleration and hard braking. Therefore, test drive vehicles are usually sold at a discount. Buyers should carefully consider their own situation before purchasing a test drive vehicle. Additional Information: Things to note when selecting a car: 1. Try to choose a recently manufactured vehicle, preferably one produced within one or two months. 2. Pay attention to tire wear marks. Vehicles frequently used for test drives can be identified by the wear patterns on their tires. 3. Check the door handles and keys, as frequent opening and closing of doors often leaves noticeable marks.
A test drive car is a vehicle specifically provided by a 4S store for customers to experience. When I was car shopping recently, I noticed that every model had a test drive car. The salesperson mentioned that a few new cars are selected as test drive vehicles upon arrival at the store. Interestingly, these cars have low mileage but are driven daily, with turning, accelerating, and braking repeatedly tested. However, test drive cars have particularly thorough maintenance records, as the store needs to maintain its image. Nowadays, many young people specifically buy these cars because they are sold at a 20% discount right after being registered and have just completed the break-in period. But it's important to check the warranty policy, as some test drive cars may have hidden damage to the chassis from aggressive driving.
