Literally, testing is an act of assessing something. And I bet you have done this all your life.

Maybe it has even been done today. How sure am I about this? Well, remember the small taste you had this morning while making breakfast? That’s a test. You were trying to see if the food will come great when eventually served.

What about the last time at the boutique, you were sure to “try” each of those good looking shoes on before you eventually swipe your card for payments.

EVer asked yourself why you do this?

Well, the fundamental reason is to ensure that what you are about taking would be a good fit for you. That is it in a simple sentence.

It is most important for cars. You wouldn’t want to spend a fortune on a car today and regret it tomorrow owning to a particular feature in it you detest. That is exactly why you should test drive a car before you buy it. Well if you live in Singapore, and want a luxury car, you can test drive the Mercedes GLA 180 at Vin’s. 

They are the best in entire Singapore when you talk about vehicles.

Back to the main subject; How do you test drive a car?

Research and Make a List

The very first thing you want to do is research a car dealer that allows test-driving. To do this, simply go on Google and search for “car dealers + your location”. Check the results and note at least 20 that has the test-drive option on their website.

Make an Appointment to Avoid Delay

Now that you have a list of at least 20 dealers that allows for test-driving, then you should begin to contact them to verify that the contact they have on their website is valid. Delete off your list any contact that doesn’t go through.

Next, follow up with those that answer your call and book an appointment with them. Record the date and time you would love to meet with them.

And then get ready to go test drive.

Right now, we will talk about things you need to do before and during the test-driving exercise.

What to look out for  before test driving

First, you should look around the garage and handpick the car that interests you the most. Look at the color. The model and other relevant things.

You don’t want to go test driving all the cars they have on display. Just that which you are likely to buy eventually. That’s is why this is necessary.

However, if you are unsure of what you want, you can ask the attendant at your service to give you recommendations as heads up.

What to do while test driving

Now, it is the time you have been waiting for. Simply test all that you think a normal functioning car should have and you are satisfied before you go ahead to make payment.

See, it is not that difficult to do.
