Dealer Stickers

Bowling_4_Gold

Quite a few years ago, we bought a car from a main dealer, and at the time they put quite an elegant sticker in the back (embossed letters - no ugly logos or white backgrounds), and to this day, it has stayed where it is.

About 6 months ago we bought a car from the same dealer, but they had been re-named, and when we picked the car up, it had a great big ugly sticker right in the middle of the rear screen (so bad that you couldn't see out of it). Took that one off

When customers moan/ask about the rear window stickers I tell them it invalidates the warranty if they remove it

Is it any wonder some car dealers get a bad press on these forums? :mad:

I normally peel off the rear window sticker to maximise visibility. Number plate stuff doesn't bother me - if anything a number plate with a legitimate franchised dealers info on it make a car more kosher to the Police if they eye it up - ie plates and tax disc match up, local dealer, local owner etc.

One time I bought a car for my sister and the local Ford dealer insisted on putting a plastic/chrome "Haynes" badge on the rear of every car they supplied. The badge was the nastiest, tackiest piece of crud you could imagine. You could spot it on the car a mile away because it was invariably applied wonky and screamed cheap Chinese plastic. So when I placed the order I wrote on the order form: "If the dealer applies a cheap Haynes badge to the rear of the car then the order shall be deemed to be cancelled."

One of my cars had the dealer "sticker" as a chromed badge stuck onto the boot. I never bothered to remove it as I might have knackered the paintwork.

Dental Floss and a hairdryer and its off in seconds, this works a treat and leaves no marks.

Tax disc holder I don't worry about or anything on the number plate but I hate anything on the rear windscreen as I like a clear field of vision.

Must be a job for the female to do then as clearly as a bloke l can't multi task....blow dry my hair and floss my teeth at the same time as peeling off a sticker.....sounds like hard work to me that does.

I think the number plate thing is a legal requirement now - anyone producing plates has to put their trading name and postcode on it.
