Share your dealership test drive horror stories

A lot of people have horror stories about unprofessional salespeople during test drives. They might be rude or try to intimidate you into buying. For instance, I know someone who had a salesperson that started yelling at them when they didn't like the car enough to make an offer right away. It's unacceptable behavior in a dealership environment.

Once I went for a test drive of an old car. As soon as I started it, there was a strange rattling noise from the engine. It got louder when I accelerated. I was so scared that something might break down right there. I quickly drove back to the dealership.

I had a nightmare experience at a dealership. They had advertised a great deal on a new model. When I got there, they added all sorts of hidden fees. The price went up by thousands. And the salesperson was really pushy, trying to get me to sign the papers right away without explaining all the costs clearly. It was a total rip - off.

One time I took my car to a dealership for a simple oil change. They ended up scratching the paint on my door. When I confronted them, they denied it at first. It was such a headache to prove it was their fault and get them to pay for the repair.

Well, once I went to an auto dealership to buy a used car. They promised it was in great condition. But after I bought it, the engine started making strange noises just a week later. Turns out they had hidden some major issues and didn't disclose them.

I once failed my driving test because I got so nervous that I completely forgot how to parallel park. It was a total disaster. I was shaking and just couldn't do it right, even though I had practiced it many times before.

Mechanical issues like strange noises from the engine are common. For example, a knocking sound that makes you think the engine is about to fall apart.

I once took my driving test and right at the start, I accidentally hit the curb while making a turn. I was so nervous that my hands were sweating and shaking. The examiner gave me a stern look and made a note. Then, during the parallel parking, I misjudged the distance and hit the car behind. It was a total disaster and I failed miserably.

Sure. Once a friend of mine went for a test drive of a convertible. As he was driving on a country road, a flock of geese suddenly crossed the road. He panicked and honked, which made the geese scatter everywhere. It was chaos but hilarious.

I once used a DNA test kit and got some really disturbing results. It turned out there was a high probability of a serious genetic disease in my family that no one knew about before. It was like a dark cloud suddenly hanging over my head, and I spent weeks worrying and researching about it.
