What about insurance? You gotta have proof that you got fully comp?

Dunno. I've driven a few cars at my local dealer, and a couple near by without having it checked, but they may want to for that model

I didn't have to prove that I had any insurance, I just got in it and drove it.

The fact I pulled up in a Astra VXR helped the cause, OMG the car is amazing to drive really I had a boner.
I'm not buying it, its the wrong colour and 13.5k for my Astra is a joke 
Dickhead added loads of stuff on top as well like GAP insurance and tyre protection which would mean me having to fork out an extra 4k for the car which is worth the same as our Astra the stupid idiot.

No chance, the only reason they let us drive this one was because we were in a Astra VXR and had to go through the rigmarol of them valueing it and working out a finance bollocks, we had no intention of buying it just wanted to drive one.

If you drive up like a tramp in a 1.2 8v corsa B i'm assuming they won't let you get a test drive unless you show you might actually buy it.

No chance. This one was in the showroom as well, matey was well pissed off when we said that the P/X was utter crap, I know if they don't sell it next week they will be on the phone with a better price for the Astra.

if you go in and ask for a testdrive and they dont give you it, just walk out. Not worth buying a car from them.

They should take a photocopy of your photocard in most cases just for insurance and if you go through a speed camera or something. They need to take records...

You know what people on here are like Bert.
Expect to walk up in their best Fred Perry and get a drive.

Which if you were both going anyway technically brings the price of the car down to £16466. Good car.

I'm still trying to convince my mum that trading her 53 plate 1.8 C against a VXR is a good plan
