You're right! That's the GT from Illinois right outside of Chicago where the dealer allowed a 16 year old kid to test drive it unsupervised (Red Foreman from "That 70's Show" would be proud!) :frusty:That Ruby Red GT has the window sticker still on it. Bad test drive...
That shows some true "brilliance" on the dealers part. WowYou're right! That's the GT from Illinois right outside of Chicago where the dealer allowed a 16 year old kid to test drive it unsupervised (Red Foreman from "That 70's Show" would be proud!) :frusty:
That car is on eBay, actually- or, at least it was a few days ago...:tsk:You're right! That's the GT from Illinois right outside of Chicago where the dealer allowed a 16 year old kid to test drive it unsupervised (Red Foreman from "That 70's Show" would be proud!) :frusty:
I believe it depends. There are alot of factors. If you are required to provide proof of insurance or sign a waiver before the test drive, your insurance has to cover it. Dealerships have insurance on the cars on their lot, so in the event a person couldnt pay, the dealerships insurance would cover it. In the event proof of coverage isnt shown nor a waiver signed before the test drive, There is still nothing preventing from trying to hold you responsible unless there is a state law restricting that route of action.Someone enlighten me. Say a guy wants to test drive, and smashes it like the Ruby Red above. What happens? Dealers insurance covers it or does the dealer sue the guy who drove it?
Whenever I test drove, they just took a photocopy of my drivers license. I didnt sign anything. I'm assuming in Canada the dealers insurance will cover the damage.I believe it depends.

Thats all i had to do in california too. I assume their insurance covers it but i dont think there is anything stopping them from trying to make you pay unless you make them sign a waiverWhenever I test drove, they just took a photocopy of my drivers license.

When I talked to my insurance before going for test drives, the dealer is responsible 100% according to them because it's their car.Whenever I test drove, they just took a photocopy of my drivers license. I didnt sign anything. I'm assuming in Canada the dealers insurance will cover the damage.
