AGREEMENT BY A LICENSED DRIVER WHO IS TESTING A VEHICLE

I acknowledge that by asking for, and participating in a test drive, I am responsible for...

1) all damage to the test vehicle if I am "at fault" or cannot identify nor have details of the person "at fault"

2) damage that is caused by the vehicle in my control

3) theft or loss of the vehicle

4) all fines, regardless of when issued by the relevant authority during the test drive according to the times and date below

Start Time & Date.....................................................................................................................................................................

Finish Time & Date...................................................................................................................................................................

Furthermore, I state that in such an event, I will pay for the costs of repairs to the vehicle &/or property collided with, subject to the lesser of 2 agreed quotes including...

a) actual cost of repair

b) any towing fees

c) any excesses

d) any fines

e) cost of replacement vehicle of similar condition if required

In the case of a catastrophic incident where the cost to repair, is greater than the asking price of the vehicle, I am willing to pay that purchase price within 14 days.

Identification:-

Licence Number............................................................... (and I consent to a facsimile of the licence which will be deleted after an incident-free test drive).

Name.................................................................................................................................

Signature .......................................................................................................................... Date......../........../..........

Owner................................................................................................................................

Signature .......................................................................................................................... Date......./.........../..........

Vehicle VIN......................................................................................................................... Registration Number ........................................

I signed something similar to this 2 days ago whilst doing a test drive > I've upgraded it.

Essentially, it's a 'You break it - you pay for it' contract.

If you are selling a vehicle and find this document useful, go for it!

Hehe...

I baulked when I first sighted it Dale.

And when I brought the car back, I had to remind the owner to let ourselves to sign off.

Hmmm, apparently a car of his got pinched before; and perhaps the thief arrived in an already stolen car of lesser quality.

He's an architect; not a lawyer - but I don't know where he got this drawn up. It had a few holes in it - and it still does; but it's the best I can do at the moment. I know for instance that you can't get a 17 year old or at the other end of the scale, an Alzheimer's sufferer to sign such a document.

Very useful, i remember having to sign something like this when test driving a car from a dealer;

also Terry, are you able to disclose what wheels you were sussing out?

I used a document just like this one when i sold my last skyline and my bike a few weeks ago. Why wouldn'w you use something to protect yourself in the event that some tool comes along and crashes your pride and joy.

There are some dodgey buggers out there that will never pay up in the event of an accident and this seemed to scare a lot of them away in my experience.

Well worth it!!

Good idea from a private sale point of view - I sell used cars and we have a similar form to fill out but only in the event of a loan car. Basically says the same thing, you damage it you pay for it.

It also lists the km's the car had when it left the yard, customers details eg name, number, licence details, address. Time car left yard, time came back on the yard and signed off.

I can amend Post #1

So,...

Should I insert a space for Odometer reading - before and after?

Not sure about that.

Actually, it might be helpful eh; if the car was stolen > upon retrieval, police could have 1 extra piece of data?

And if the driver went through a Speed Camera 10Kms away - again an extra piece of data for the vendor?

Thoughts?

I think it would be helpful. Especially like you said, when the driven runs a red light or gets a speeding ticket.

That way the one responsible is the one who takes the consequences as they should.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
