[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1416928, member: 31858"] The same thing happened to me and no...it's not about money, age, nationality or anything else generally. The explanation I got was that the Raptor is so popular that by the time it sold it would have a thousand miles on it from all the test drives people want to do. They asked me if I would want to buy a new Raptor with over 1k miles on it from demo rides and obviously I said I would not. It makes sense to not let just anyone test drive something as popular as the Raptor because they would get so many people that had no intention of buying doing test drives just to satiate their curiosities. After having a discussion about cost and walking through what a deal might look like they did eventually allow me to test drive the vehicle. Basically once they were convinced I was serious and that a test drive was the deal breaker they finally relented and allowed me to drive it. LOL...As it turned out I didn't buy from them but I did use the deal I struck with them to buy from a different dealer for below MSRP. Each dealer will be different but it's not unusual that they limit test drives in order to keep the miles down for whomever the new owner eventually is. Personally I think it's smart. [/QUOTE]
