    yes you can. But it's a best bet that you'll buy a good mechanically ready car after testing it and taking it to a trusted mechanic run a diagnostic test on it.

    Yes, there is no requirement that anyone test drive a vehicle before purchase.

    Sure, but I wouldn't recommend that.

    You can, but why would you?  Some years ago, I was going to buy an Elantra.  When I test drive it, I found that the window sill was too narrow to rest my elbow on.  Sounds like a minor thing, but I do a lot of long distance driving, and it just wouldn't have worked. 

    I went to Alaska and had two vans, a Toyota and a Kia.  The Toyota seemed much nicer, but after driving for a while, my a$$ started aching. The Kia wasn't as nicely appointed, but the seats were much more comfortable over time.  You can't find some things out until you actually drive a vehicle.  I'd never by a car without a test drive.

    You actually  "can" if you are able.  You actually "may" if you wish .

    Yes but I think it is foolish.   Sometimes the seats just do not feel right..
