I test drove the Coupe and Sedan and ended up with the Coupe :-)

 

My question is..how can you guys NOT testdrive a car thats gonna cost you nearly 40 grand to buy it? The car is beautiful, i understand that, but what if you got into it and your grandmother's geo handles better... just my .02

 

I test drove the BMW 330ci and the G35 coupe before I made my decision. As you all know, the G won.

 

I test drove before buying because I didnt know which version of the coupe I wanted. I was worried about the head room with a sunroof and I was concerned about the difference in the ride between the 18" wheels and 19" wheels with the sport-tuned package. Ended up with the sunroof and 19" wheels and have loved every minute of the first 1000 miles.

 

18 people didnt drive it before they bought it, whats the world coming to

 

I was wondering the same thing. I test drove a ton of cars and G35s before I made a purchase. Might as well drive everything you want within reason before you make your purchase. What's the fun of buying the first thing you drove and have nothing to compare it to?

 

Make that 19.. didnt even see mine before buying it :-)
Had it shipped from Grubbs. My local crook dealer could never have given me the color+6mt that I wanted

 

I test drove a G but not mine. The dealer had a G sedan strictly used to the test drives.

 

I test drove one with manual transmission and with both premium packages installed. Bought another one - without any packages. BTW, the one I bought was the only one in the whole Massachusetts!
Almost ll of the coupes come with preinstalled packages :-(

 

How odd...That isn't a very good salesman. I mean, worked out for you, but that's so strange...

 

i did test-drive *a* sedan, but didn't test-drive *mine* before i bought it. it was still in factory wrap, 6 miles on ODO.

 

Is this a trick question? Of course I did.

 

never test drove any cars.
i just went to dealer, did paperwork, got the G, gone!

 

I drove the auto on my way to see my car, gettin on the highway wit my mom dad and salesman, i dropped it hard two down shifts and when i looked at the speedo tha lil needle was pointing at 90, and i was like dad u gotta try this its soo fast!!! then went to the yard where my car was 04' desertplat w/brembo's i was like ok this is the one couldnt drive it tho it was blocked in. the salesman told me the stick is faster than the auto and i was like ok i want it... got it wit out test driving it.... hell come to think about it i dont think i woulda been able to drive it anyway i had only a little experience wit stick maybe like 3-4hrs practice.....

 

Hehehe . . . I was given the keys to a '05 6MT Coupe with 32 miles on it, after I signed a borrow agreement and I had the G for well over 3 hours.

Took it here, took it there, went downtown to pick-up my wife. Really got a decent feel for it. Needless to say, the odometer was in the 3 digit range when I finished my test drive.

Brought it back and purchased a '05 BS/Graph. 6MT Coupe the next day, which had 17 miles on it.
