How many times have you got this reply as the title of this thread suggests from a Sales person at a car showroom? The dealers give huge ads in newspapers and other publications for their cars with a bold "Test Drive Today" . But it happens thats they never have a car to drive when you land up at the showroom or if you call for one home. I get excuses like " Sir there is no car for a TD " or " the car is not yet come to us but you can still book one"

It has even happened at times that I am told the car is available when I'm sitting across the table, only to be told 5 minutes later that the car has gone out.

The other day I reached a Hyundai dealership for an i10 auto TD informing the sales guy that I would reach in 10 minutes and he confirming the car being there at the dealership. When I reach, I see the car but he tells me I cannot TD it because it just leaving for a TD appointment elsewhere . How can he give importance to some other customer at some other location when he has one right in front of him?

How many of you have had such experiences of going for a test drive and most of the time coming away disappointed at not getting the car?
