Advertising on your car

[spyne]

On my last car, when I test drove it it didn't have any decals or plates or other logos on it, but while I was signing the paper work, they added all that crap while they were "prepping" the car. That was sneaky, and that is what pisses people off.

Yep, and that's why I make sure they know up front that I don't want their stickers on the car. Same thing happened to me the first time I bought a new car. When I went out to take delivery and saw their stickers I made them take it off before I'd leave the lot. Now I tend to be a bit more proactive.

I agree with many of the other posters to this thread that the dealer should ask first before they put on the stickers. But as long as most people just accept them and drive away it will never happen. Let's face it, if they asked, 90% of the folks would tell them no. As it is, 90% leave them on and never say a thing.

I don't really mind stickers, as those can be removed. But I don't like it when dealerships rivet the advertising on. It bothers me more because now I have two holes in my car somewhere that didn't have to be there. But stickers, eh, I don't care. I'll just take it off..

Is there an easy way to get the chunky toyota letters off. Took me a long time to do it, but waxing sure is easy now. If you know a easy way to remove them please share.

Dental floss on a hot day or use a heat gun to make the adhesive soft. Then the dental floss to get behind the emblems. same concept as a cheese slicer.
