    Hi all,

    I am thinking of buying a Skoda Superb 2011-12.

    is it possible to have a over night test drive? I frequently do runs to Limerick/Cork and would really like to see what the car would be like comfort wise.
    Alternatively as per the title would Skoda dealers be prepared to to hire out their demo overnight ?

    Thougt I would ask ghere to save potential blushes at the dealers.

    Thanks,
    A

    Depends on the dealer. You won't know until you ask. I'm sure someone would accommodate you.

    Or...
    rent the same model from Hertz/whatever and drive it for a weekend?

    IMO it'll hinge on whether the dealer feels that the OP is a serious prospect.

    OP if you are serious about buying a new Superb they dealer should really have no problem in letting you have a demo overnight (if he has one)

    As long as you don't give the impression that you'll price every dealer in the country then they'll probably oblige.

    Used to hate giving my garage car out for the weekend to a prospect, it'd usually come back with no fuel, filthy inside and out, then they'd buy off another dealer.
