I find it a bit odd how a dealer/salesperson decides if they send the customer out on their own or not. The Lexus dealer had no problem sending me off on my own while the Honda dealer sent their guy with me - generally I find the mass market brands like to have their sales people come along while the luxury brands are hit and miss.

I'd much rather be sent off on my own even if it means I have to pay a small fee for it - when I'm serious about a car I want it for at least a couple hours to really feel it out. Back in 2019 I was able to get a CX-5 for half a day but that was cause the sale guy was here on RS while the Honda guy said I could only get 30 mins with their CR-V.
