Add “Premium Test Drives” for Tebex vehicles at PDM, Lux and Larry’s.

This would help the server make more money by letting players properly inspect a vehicle before spending real money on it. They could see the storage capacity, seating, handling, performance, and customisation options, compare vehicles and feel more confident about what they’re buying.

It would also create more dealership roleplay. When new Tebex/monopoly vehicles release, players would not only flock to the website, they would also visit dealerships in city to view and test them. That gives dealership employees more customers, more sales interactions and another way to earn money. Normal test drives are $500, so premium test drives could cost around $1,000–$2,000, which is still cheap in the current economy.

This would not discourage people who were already going to buy the vehicle. It would mainly convince additional players who would not normally spend real money without seeing it first, while providing a cleaner RP alternative to finding a random owner in the street and asking to test their car.

To prevent abuse, the existing S-Class test-drive system could be used, where customers put down a $20,000 deposit before being able to try out the vehicle. This discourages players from stealing the test-drive car or using it for criminal activity. Any dealership employee personally misusing the vehicles would already fall under abuse of a whitelisted job.
