Test driving a saleen S281...
So i saw that there is a 2001 supercharged saleen with 9,000mi for sale at a nearby ford dealership...And i really want to check it out and give it for a test drive.
But im only 21 and i dont plan on purchasing the vehicle seeming its listed for 23,000$. I'm just a huge saleen fanatic and ive never seen one in real life.
Should i feel guilty trying to test drive this car? If i do go im going to dress up nice and take some pictures...and of course drive my stang to the dealer...Im just going to claim i need something faster and that my current mustang is starting to show wear...(which it's not)
Do you think they will refuse to let me test drive this thing? or could i get away with it?

As long as u look presentable and show interest and act like you have the money... i dont think they will turn you down! I always wanted to do the same thing with the dodge dealer by my house and test drive the sweet vipers they get!lol

Haha well even if it were 19,000$ its still way outta my league. I still have one more year of college tution to pay...
I did look it up on NADA guides and it said retail value should be 21,000$ tops...
But the vehicle looks flawless on the pictures, so i can see why. I imagine its a 1 owner car. But its the supercharged saleen too....
But regardless i probably wont be buying it, i just really want to drive one!
Ill probably just dress nice, come alone and do my research and hope that i can test drive this thing. 345hp stock is friggin nuts,

Go test drive it. Me and my friend go to the ford, toyota, and chevy dealerships every weekend to test drive cars. Were only 19 and 20. The salesmen know us by name and they gave us keys to a 2010 GT 5spd and let us drive it for acouple hours by ourselves.
