Why are dealership personnel allowed to drive the cars? I'm sorry, but I don't want some slimy sales person beating the crap out of a car that I might buy. I know it happens, but you shouldn't broadcast it.

Seeing this thread, I would NEVER buy a car from Gene Messer VW/Mitsubishi knowing how the dealership employees treat the cars on the lot.

wow.....


Just becuase I'm excited about getting the keys you assume I'm going to rag on it??

I'm a tech. Salesmen, or ANYONE else beside us(and the new car manager) are not allowed to drive them. And trust me, they are upset about it. And we are required to drive it for the PDI(predelivery inspection). I bought my evo brand new from Don Hearing with 22 miles on it. It had 6 miles on it when it was unlaoded from the truck(accoring the the paparwork, but who knows if it's accurate) I KNOW that for those 16 miles, it was beat on at some point. I PROMISE you. EVERY new X will have been floored a few times before you ever see it.

I really don't know how you get off saying this. I was a car "tunner" long before I ever was a tech at a dealer, so I know both ends of the deal here. I remember how it was with my modded car taking it to the dealer worrying about warrenty. I remember being worried about it being ragged one while it was in for service.

Even if I DID hammer on it, you're right, I wouldn't be posting it all over the place.


Seems like you jumped the gun just a little on this one.

Just be truthful. You know damn well you won't be driving it like a grandma. Especially since you're so excited to start another thread to post your driving impressions. I think we all realize that new cars get ragged on by dealership staff. But to put it out on a forum wasn't the right thing to do and then try to back up and explain yourself isn't good. Just be truthful and people would respect it more.

Why doesn't your dealership have demo vehicles for that very purpose?

Also, make sure to post the VIN number of the Evo X you do your test-drive in. Just so all EvoM users will know not to buy that specific car.

I think that all dealers should have a test vehicle for salesman to drive so that can give there impressions to customers and for customers to test drive this would assure customers that the car they are purchasing hasnt been beaten on.
