will they let me test drive?

I REALLY want to take a test drive in a new FJ..

heres my problem though...im only 17.I COULD afford one of these but I would rather not have a car payment in college when i probably wont have a job.

what are the chances that i could take a spin in one? If i can't my uncle's good friend has a yota dealership in buffalo which means ill just have to wait.

I dont think they will let you by yourself. You will have to be at least 18 IIRC.

Go to the SE4RJ3! There will be 3 there, I don't know what their requirements are but I heard they were offering a chance to drive one.

As long as you have your DL so they can copy it. The salesperson MUST go with you, I think.

Get friendly with a salesman and it'll be fine

What I mean is, don't just walk up ask them for a test drive, but start some small talk with a salesman about trucks and bs some story about how you would wanna go on credit or lease blah blah. Then, just introduce the idea of you wanting to test drive one before you buy and they should let you. Also, pick someone who is more likely to let you

I have someone at my dealer who let me test drive a Yaris last time, and told me I can come by when he isn't busy for me to try an FJ I met him the way I explained...we just started talking about Toyota introducing many new models
