Pay first, test drive later?

[Tea3]

A friend of mine wanted to test drive the new Opel Astra but was told to give a S$5K deposit before test driving only leh. Got such thing?

[Seansene]

I think it's for the 2.0 Turbo. No deposit required for 1.6L.

They don't trust yr friend, I guess....

[Nitrogenarian]

Pay $5k to test drive? Sounds strange. I think they are referring to the deposit for ordering the car. Got to advise your friend to ask carefully, otherwise may end up 'buying' the car.

[Freezy]

No such thing boy... they only need a photocopy of your IC/driving license.

 

The test drive car has insurance to cover accident... could it be your friend just pass his driving test (like 1 hour ago) and the SE is uncomfortable and need more assurance???

[RadX]

errr...could be ur fren has colored hair like u and has that gin-na look...thus the SE does not trust u fellas

 

[Seaweed]

if i your fren will tell them forget it then....money can buy me another car else where...but you are going to lose a potential customer....
