Likewise...lots of cars I’ve bought never got a test drive. Some I’d never even seen.
My first car was taken in as a part ex by my next door neighbour who sold VWs. He was several years older than me but we played a lot of squash together ( back in the 70s), he told me one evening he’d arranged a part ex, what the car was, price etc so I bought it.
Another pal of mine, the MOT tester at a large auto engineers, was looking for something on my behalf after I’d sold the 330. Id given him a budget of £2k as I needed a cheap runner at the time. Various cars went on his ramps with ‘for sale’ signs in the window, so I bought the Focus blind. All I knew was it was a black Focus and good value for money as a stop gap car. The proposed 3 months ownership turned into much longer.
I can think of several other cars I’ve agreed to buy without even seeing them, subject to being as described, and travelled all over the country to collect. No lemons at all.
