It's up to the individual dealer.

Depends on the car. If you go in trying to test drive a new corvette dressing all sharp and telling them you are going to put a 20k down payment on the car, even then they will only let you sit inside and rev it....unless you have your parents with you. The value of the car does make a difference. I found a way to get around this. Go to carmax. I was gonna drive a Porsche Carrera but I had already driven the M3 that same day.

Basically just tell them you are interested in the car and aren't set on a vehicle yet, you are still trying to decide but the car you wish to test drive is one of the ones on your list.

go to a shady dealership and there are no rules. i went to a dealership that basically begs kids to buy cars (they *** for a credit card for a $1000 downpayment the second you walk in the door) so i was like its a toss up between that chrysler 300 or the eclipse, he recommeneded the 300 they had "just got it in" and threw me the keys. less than 3 blocks away i realized the car was junk and drove it another block to this hill i know that you can get air on.... it was fun

They will ALWAYS do that, unless they are stupid and want the car stolen

Thought you had to be 18 or 21 most of the time?

Maybe 18 now with the new laws??? I don't know. I know I test drove some cars when I was 17.

I've never test drove a car and the salesperson said they have to go with me.
