Won't I be able to install disk brakes after? I wanted to go with a CF wheelset and disk brakes.
As a seller - and this is a personal thing - I wouldn't allow a test ride unless I have the asking price in cash in my hand. After that (when you've returned the bike after a few minutes!), you can negotiate if you find something to negotiate about. Of course, this is just me.

As has been replied to already, converting to disc brakes is a whole new "can of worms".
