More people are buying cars online and without a test drive, study finds
An increasing number of new-car buyers are confident purchasing a car online despite never having driven it or seen it in person, according to new research out of the United Kingdom – which has been backed by Australian dealers. A survey of more than 700 car buyers, conducted by online retailer BuyACar.co.uk, found almost 25 per cent of respondents said they would "be confident in buying a car without seeing it, if it was protected by guarantees and a warranty".
