Yeah my parents bought mine, it's coming in tomorrow, can't wait! Sales people never have had a problem letting me test drive anything, when I was 16 I learnt how to drive stick in a Roush Mustang I was testdriving!!! I think it all has to do with appearence and how the way you look affects peoples perception of yourself. If you go into a dealership wanting to test drive a brand new $17000 car but you have a mullet and look like broke trailer trash then I'm sure they won't even give you the time of day, not saying that anyone looks like that in this thread!
Example:

= No attention from sales people.

 

My new MTX tC should be here tomorrow. I am 23, a college graduate with a wife and child. My annual salary is probably much more than the sales person I am dealing with. That being said, being that I am only 23 I have a short credit history. For that reason my father has volunteered to co sign to get a better rate. I dont think the dealer has even looked me in the eye one time. He told my dad he would give him a call when the car comes in. I'm like...... dude its my car. That is enough to make me go to another dealer. The only thing stopping me is the fact that it will happen at any dealer.

The bottom line is that if this happens to you, yes its sucks, but its 1 day out of your life that you have to deal with it. And you can drive away from it in your brand new vehicle!

When I test drove the dealer insisted on coming with me "due to my age"

 

Man I wish my parents bought my car for me.
