Half of the people I've offered to let drive have declined.

Full grown men decline.

It's shocking.

Haha.

I was 24-25 years old when I bought mine, the seller would not let me drive it.
it was too good of a situation for me to say no, luckily everything worked out and I still have the car 10 years later.

I actually prefer to ride first, when driving you are too busy paying attention to what's going on around you. By riding you can concentrate on what the car is doing, ie. noises, vibrations, gauges etc. Then I will drive it after that.

The post from pirate4life made me return. I would never let anyone connected with car sales drive my car without conditions. Those guys have zero respect for machines, and drive them as disposable commodities.

I would let a potential buyer drive it, Heck it is only a 12-15K car. Not a 100K car.

Contact BuyAVette and see if they are interested in taking it off your hands. They also do consignment sales.

I'm going to price it fairly cheap, but, do you think something like my Corsa full titanium exhaust is worth tacking up the price a bit?

How do I avoid tire kickers?

I really don't want to let people test drive it and **** it up. Is it a huge issue to let them 'test ride' it instead?

Any advice is appreciated.
Sell your old car before buying a new one so you won't be rushed

No problem at all, plus it's close by. Dave just brought back a split window from Oregon.

She's sold. I ended up selling to a dealer. I got less than private party of course, but it was nice to just write a couple signatures and be done.

They said it's one of the first they brought in that they couldn't find a problem with. Damn skippy. I take care of my stuff.
