It's a crapshoot if you don't know the sales people.

It's definitely helpful if the customer is not familiar with the car or roads, or they look like they would need help with the functionality. There's also the age old adage that you make the sale by talking the customer's ear off in the car.

A lot of the mass market brands follow the old school way of sales where they come with you talk your ear off. Toyota, Honda, VW all do that.

We've had pretty random experiences with the luxury brands. We were looking at Openroad Audi, knew no one, and they just sent us off with an A3 and A4.

We've been sent off with cars at BMW before, but also denied test drives (the iX recently at Autowest came to mind)

The sales person came along on 2 different instances at MB(C350, GLC), but they left us alone other than directing us to better roads to actually try out the car.
