What is a Ex-Demo Car?

Ronnie Panas: A demo car is used by a motor dealer to take customers on test drives. It therefore will have a bit of mileage on it but should still be in very good condition. The advantage of buying an ex-demo car is the huge discount you should get on the price.I found some very useful tips on buying and selling cars on the website below.

Sammy Tabatt: It could be a demonstrator, these are usually driven by the salesmen, and used for customers to test drive cars, they usually are fully equipped, but have been flogged pretty hard by customers "Seein'what this baby will do..."The other option would be a demo-derby car...used in competition where the cars are driven in reverse, and backed into one another, until only one will still move.....( similar to a high school parking lot)...Show more

Truman Biby: In most dealerships, the General Manager, General Sales Manager and Owner (among other VIPs) get a car to drive. Demos! are new cars and have never been titled, thought they will often have up to 5k miles on the odometer. the warranty will begin at that number so it will be a full factory warranty. Depending on the VIP , it will usually be the top of the line version with all the bells and whistles. more often than not, the demo is nearing the 5k mark, or nearing the end of the model year. you'll find a lot of '09 demos coming up soon, as th '10s are beginning to be released.Buying a demo is like buying a factory certified used car in that the car has a few miles and a factory warranty, but as a new car, is not 2-3 years old.A demo is almost always a good deal, if you want a new car, top of the line, extra bells and whistles for the price of the next lowest. Beware "Courtesy Cars" sold as Demos. These cars are the ones some dealers lend you while your car is in the shop. People treat them like rental cars with out the financial liability!...Show more
