Dealer Stickers

missile

When I bought a new can, the muppets put the sticker in the line of sight for the rear view mirror. I was concerned that if I tried to remove it, I might damage the rear screen heater. I took it back and asked them to remove the sticker.

.........only from the mouth of an Essex boy.........;) :rotfl:



The heated rear screen is always my worry, will it hold moisture and rot the element so I always take 'em off. And !!!!!!! Renault are the worst who wants ELF pastered accross the rear window :eek:

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.

Snap:D. I once purchased a Ford with the same Badge, it was nasty. Right next to the Cars Badging.

I did manage to remove it with a lot of patience and Hot water without damaging the paintwork.

In general I don't like dealer badges, though some original ones add to the car IMO, e.g original BMW tags.

Straight off with the dealer sticker for me.

The taxholder can stay or if my insurance or breakdown company send me one that looks nicer I will swap.

I am totally dissapointed with your response Inactive, it was a baited trap, but I expected better, :rotfl:

I bought a new car last year and the dealer's window sticker was removed with a hairdryer the same day. I still haven't worked out the dental floss, though!

Many years ago I bought a new VW. When it went in for its first service at the supplying dealer I asked them to remove their sticker from the rear window. When I went to collect the car I looked at the invoice and the cheeky sods had actually charged labour for removing it! I told them that not only was I not paying, but they would never get my car in for service again. And they didn't!

There is a garage in Musselburgh (near Edinburgh) that sells 2nd hand cars, the fit rear mudflaps with a big yellow logo on the bottom lol, I see loads of cars with them, people must be mad, free advertising and they are SO UGLY!

When you buy a used car, or even a new one, do you leave the dealer rear window sticker in the car and/or the dealer branded tax disc holder if they have used one?

I bought my current used car last December and I have left the dealer window sticker and tax disc holder in up to now.

i make it clear before i pay i want NO stickers etc of any kind on it, they can mark the number plate but thats is

i've left mine in, it's a long blue and yellow battenburg sticker, and because i drive a white ford focus, it's excellent to see the amount of people that start driving more carefully/slowly past me.
