Do dealerships let new cars that they have on the lot be test driven by potential customers?

1. Yes 2. under 100 preferably 3. Yes they can, until a new model year comes in.

1) Yes, unless it is an extremely rare or expensive car. In this case, they may ask you to make a refundable or non-refundable deposit. You also need to be licensed in order to drive. Most dealerships require a parent or legal guardian to be there if you are under 18. 2) usual is between 3 and 25 miles. The definition of a 'new' car is whether it has been titled or not. It has nothing to do with miles. Sometimes dealers will use a new car as a 'demo' for test drives, to cart service customers around or as a service loaner. These vehicles can have up to 5,000 miles on them and are often slightly discounted over a new car with 3-25 miles. 3) Of course.

1 - YES 2 - A few hundred miles isn't unusual. Every time the car moves the miles roll up. How many times do you think that car has been moved since it rolled off the assembly line? 3 - YES. As long as the car has never been issued a title, it is still considered brand new.
