You won’t be able to test drive _the specific car you are buying_ before committing to purchasing it. You’d only be able to test drive another instance of that model, but not the specific one you’d be committing to for X years. This deprives you of the ability to, e.g., avoid purchasing a particular instance of a vehicle that has some annoying defect or flaw.

That's industry standard, isn't it? Who test drives specific new cars before buying? Would you be as okay with buying a new car after is was test-driven by several random strangers?

Have you ever purchased a car through a dealership? When you buy a car off the lot, chances are good many people have test driven it, and unless you have zero anxiety about the purchase, you were one of those people

Do you also get a replacement car for the time you can't use the one you bought?
