Safe to buy a dealer's ex-demo car ???

[Luca Brazzi]

Can anyone offer any thoughts on the matter?

The Tuscan I've seen (and put a deposit on, at Mole Valley), started life as one of Christopher Neil's demonstrator cars, before being sold to someone. It has just under 3000 miles on it, and is 11 months old.

Question: What's the likelihood that the dealer would allow potential customers to mistreat the car (ie. giving it more revs than recommended during its running in period) when out on a test drive in order to show them what the car is capable of? Or would they insist it is driven with due care and attention...?

Any thoughts gratefully received

Steve

Thanks Quinny for the quick reply...

I'm just looking for a little re-assurance before parting with the cash. Obviously, its the luck of the draw, but I ought to try and gather as much info as possible...

Any other thoughts anyone ?

Thanks Flasher, that's helped a lot...I hadn't considered the fact that the dealer would get problems with it fixed asap...obvious really.

Very grateful.
