Do you think a salesperson would allow me to test out the viable of rear hatch space via commanding doggo to jump in? That would scream “quality service” to me.

I don’t see why not.

Luna is super adorable, any salesperson that says “NO” is literally Hitler then.

They wouldn’t say no to the dog, but they’d say no time the sketchy-looking bum holding her leash.
“Hey man, I totally got the money...”

Any sales person worth a damn would insist on the doggo test. All cars need doggo approval.

Possibly.
I mean, my mum and I will be bringing the crate along with us tomorrow when we go to check stuff out.

I think if you make it clear that you won’t buy any car until you know that your dog fits in through the hatch, they’ll find a way to accommodate you.

Yes. If they want to sell the car they will.
At worst Luna puts a couple of claw scratches on the rear bumper and some footprints on the boot liner.
If they have any concerns about Luna jumping in, just say you’ll pick her up and put her in.
Do dealerships over there not do extended road tests where you can take the car home for 24hours, two days or three days?

Worth the ask at least

I’d say there’s a good chance they would. Some salesmen and/or dealerships like to act more uppity, but any smart salesperson should agree to that arrangement.

Some do, many don’t. They think a three-minute test drive is all one needs to make an incredibly important financial decision :|

Start yelling out QUIRKS and BRILLIANT and they’ll throw you the keys for a car.

They might. Several dealerships where I used to live were “pet-friendly.”

Maybe bring a blanket to cover rear hatch area? Just to show that you don’t want to mess up interior?

I don’t see why not. The local dealers let me put my kids in every car I tested.

That’s weird...every time I go car shopping, the salesperson attempts the “Take it home overnight...see what you think of it...” approach to try to seal the deal. I always have to say no so I don’t get the newer/better-running vehicle imprinted on me and lose my negotiating edge.

What is that in the picture?

If I was a salesman, I wouldn’t see an issue.
Make him this offer: “Don’t worry, if the dog takes a shit in it I’ll buy it.”

why you get to the actual purchasing be sure to note the dog hair to the salesman and insist the pre-sale clean gets that out

If you’re questioning this at all, it’s clearly not a subaru dealer.

I like CarMax for a lot of reasons but they are the very worst about short test drives. On the other hand, you can just return the damn thing at the end of the week if it doesn’t work out.

This is just curiosity for a purchase you will finally be allowed to make in 2033, right?

No salesman has ever objected to me putting my chair in a car, which wold cause no less damage than a doggo. I bring a blanket to protect the car just the same, out of courtesy. They seem to appreciate the effort, kind of like a french waiter seems to appreciate when I try to order in french.
