If/when my local Lex dealer gets the RC-F, is it safe to assume they'll let me test drive it if I pull up in my IS-F? I've taken my car there a couple times, so they know me...

TIA

If its not a vehicle that has been pre-ordered by another customer, I don't see why not. It's a RC-F, not an ultra rare LFA.

They should. I have test driven the IS-F before. Like RedSpender said, as long as it is not already sold or pre-ordered by someone.

If your a potential buyer, I don't see why not... You have showed good faith with the dealer by buying an ISF so they would be eager to let you try the RCF and try to upsale you

You should have no problem getting a test drive on the 1990 ES 250 out back 210,000 miles on it

potential customer will be offered a test drive of said vehicle... LFA, good luck with that one. you can test drive any other car Lexus has at the dealership.

Lets not give false hope to the man. The only ES250 that can be test driven is an automatic.. No way they'll let you touch the 5spd manual.

I've heard test driving a GTR isn't the easiest thing in the world, so was wondering if RC-F might be similar

GTR was pretty easy to drive, but boring at the same time to be honest.

I don't see why it would be a problem... sales guy at my local dealer has no problems letting me do a test drive once they hit the lot.
