“Buying a car is a process, but the dealership wants things to move as quickly as possible so they can put their time and energy into more cars.”
The TikToker’s subscribers seemed divided over this controversial advice, with some disagreeing that test driving a car was a mistake.
“Test drive the car, leave the dealership, do research on the numbers, call several dealerships negotiate and make them an offer over the phone. If they say no, keep looking,” argued one unconvinced individual.
“Nah, I’ve test driven cars before. You just have to learn to say no and walk away if it’s not what you are after” and “I’m always willing to walk away, I’ll def be test driving it,” read two more reactions.
A fourth person added: “Why would you buy without a test drive?? Nonsense.”
“Buying a car without a test drive is a recipe for buyer remorse,” another went on to share. “It’s even worse if you’re trying to buy a used car, the odds of you end up with junk is much higher without a test drive.”
