You don’t even need to miss out on that new Netflix show to do so. 


Arrange a test drive 


Up until now you haven’t needed leave the house but unfortunately, until they invent virtual test drives, you’ll need to leave the house for this part. If all goes well on the test drive, you can sign on the dotted line knowing you’ve done the research and picked the right choice for you.
