They made up so many excuses such as: "We can't let you cause we can't put too many kms on a new car" "You got to order one from Japan first." "You have to put down a down payment." "we can't let you test drive that one cause it's the manager's car" BLAAH BLAAH BLAHH.....

I was like... Seriously?! "No problem i can put down a down payment of how much you want" "So you expect me to buy the car without a test drive or seeing it?" "man its just a nissan." wtf??

Last stealership(at this point I was about to reconsider) I went to was the one in burnaby where I met a sales associate who was pretty chill and talked to the manager for a while and i got a test drive in a black auto Z.

Everyone treated me like if i was some punk *** kid who just wana joyride... Slapped a bank draft down and ordered/bought a brand new 2012 pw sport pkg/navi.

Sorry about the rant. I'm pretty sure if you're in my shoes u would be pissed.
that sucks, im glad my experience was the exact opposite, when i asked to test drive my nismo Z they said sure and let me test drive it(after making sure i had a valid DL which is understandable)

the only reason why my test drive was short was because the car was out of gas(no lights on the gas gauge) but once they got the car filled up they let me have another run in it and i loved it and walked out that night with the car keys in hand

i guess it depends on the dealer really, one of my friends had the same problem when he was buying his FR-S, toyota wouldnt let him test drive it even though he had the down payment in hand ready to buy the car
