ReplyDeleteI think of all the things on your list, skipping the test drive could be the biggest mistake for a potential buyer. If you don't get a feel for the ride, you can not compare it to other vehicles. I test drove three card and eliminated one I was ready to buy without concerns. The test drive changed my mind.
