"Take a no-obligation test drive wherever you are in 45 minutes or less" Yes, I'd like to "buy" a . ;) I'm curious how many people will abuse this and test drive vehicles they never intend (or can) purchase.
I agree. I've always wondered why companies don't partner with rental car companies to make this happen. Or services like .
I took a test drive at a Tesla store right near my work. They are low pressure and I was even chatting with the sales guy about how we'd both be able to buy one "someday". So what I'm saying is go ahead and book an appointment :)

Try it out, Ryan :) We love letting people kick the tires on our service whether they're in market or not. We hope that our awesome prices and stellar experience will bring them back when they're ready.
Thanks for hunting this. Would love to try it out in Paris, France.
Maker
You're welcome ;) Hope to see this coming to Paris too. Btw, maybe could jump in to give more details?
Maker
Hi guys, we think Paris is great and it will be one of the first cities that we expand to after coming to Europe.
seems like a great idea. imho they should charge a nominal fee to avoid abuse
This seems like the used car version of Tred ()
Was just gonna point that out - Tred's going to used cars as its primary market.

Just to make sure there's no misunderstanding: I am not the maker of this product, is the co-founder.

Gilles, thanks a lot for posting Shift to Product Hunt! We really appreciate it. Stop by when you're in town next!
Maker
Sure :) Thanks!
Could work as a lead generator for car dealerships, but with margins in that market plummeting and the average care age only going up I'm skeptical. Used car sales are also going up (as a percentage of new) but are still only at 17% or so. Someone want to sell me on the opportunity?
This is a no brainer but no barrier to entry, seems like it might be abused.
I bought a car from them recently after test driving a couple, great service; I had a few problems early and they collected and fixed. All the paperwork (and presumably queuing!) was done by them. ❤️👌
