Run car buyer gets for his money? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

test drive

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'run' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Decisive run' mean 'test drive' so perhaps 'run' could also mean 'test drive')

'car buyer gets for his money?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for test drive that I've seen before include "Evaluate jeep, say" , "Evaluate performance" , "Trial run" , "Shot" , "Assess performance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
