I did something simliar 3 years ago - wanted a boxster forever, took one for a drive on a foggy damp December day. Spun it leaving a roundabout, mounted the grassy kerb and hit a lamppost side on. Mostly front 1/4 damge to wing, raditor etc. £3k damage and I bought the car as I had bent it. Sold it straight away, but it was an expensive test drive.

I learnt 2 things, the power of the boxster needs to be understood in bad road conditions to prevent the back end coming round, alway check insurance state when test driving. Oh and make sure spouse is rewarded for not complaining too much about the cost that we had nothing to show for.
