If the dealer/salesman lets you take it on a test ride and you are more or less following their guidelines.. more power to you. Although it "sucks" that we know eventually this car will be owned by the community, the dealer owns it now and can do whatever they want with it.
Osiris, I think the short hand reference of Jap for Japanese is also condescending, when talking about people. I have Japanese friends and certainly wouldn't call them that. However, on car forums all around the world this is used as an abbreviation, not a racial slur (in 99.9% of cases).
You probably won’t find me using it but you could spend too much of your time worrying about it rather pointlessly if dig deeper than the author intended. The weather is starting to finally cool off in Austin. If you see a crazy guy on a flat black CBR954RR or red Aprilia RSV Mille around 2222 or city park be sure to wave..

I have to laugh that osiris' avatar is a WWII (ie: Nazi) german helmet with the Acura A, yet "Jap" might be offensive??? Not starting stuff!! Just pointing out that someone might take THAT as offensive, too!

I drove 5 different NSX's before buying mine. None of them were a color combo that I liked. I did negotiate on all but one of them, and would have purchased, if the price had been right. The one I did not bargain for was from a private owner over in Saratoga. It was a beautiful 2000 with 48K miles on it. He wanted 10K over what KBB said it was worth. He did not need to sell it, and I did not want to insult him by asking him to take less. I also really wanted one without the hideaway headlights.

Yeah, exactly. And if you just ride one car, you don't know possible the difference between good and not as good car.
It is lot of money and I understand this very well.
Or do you go to car shop and buy directly first car you see it
?
