A test drive is just the first step, like going into a clothing store and trying clothes on, it doesn't mean you are going to buy them.

Perhps, although I don't know where you got that figure.
On of the first thing any sales person wiil do is to to try and get you into the car for a test drive. They don't do this just to put miles on a new car. From experience, they know that once someone test drives a car, they are more likely to buy it.
Granted, there are those who just have a passing interest in a car and test drive it . I have done that. However, how many negoshiate before test driving?
When I bought my Yasis, I was constantly bombarded by "lets take it for a ride". However, I kept resisting until he wittled the price down and removed all the exra charges to my liking. He knew that was the only way to get me into the car.
