I would defenantly say NO!!!! This is the dealer's strategy of using you for free advertising.....they put their emblems everywhere they can and I HATE IT!!!!!!!! :notnice: I think if they want to do that, THEY SHOULD BE PAYING YOU TO PUT THEIR EMBLEM ON YOUR CAR

I recently talked to the Sales Manager and made sure he knew that I didn't want dealer emblems on the car. Liscense plate would be o.k. though.

I don't mind especially w/ my dealership. They are a bunch of great guys and I wouldn't mind doing a little free advertising for them. Besides, I don't see the fuss for it unless you really got burned by your salesman or something.

I would make them remove any dealership stickers/emblems before I would agree to buying it. The plate frames are fine since they will easily come off but no way do I want any kind of stickers/emblems pasted to my car.

I wouldn't want a big JcPennys patch sewn onto my clothes or a giant sears emblem on my refrigerator. I think it's rediculous dealers would do that.

Have yet to find a dealership I'd give free advertising to.

This guy from work bought a new jetta a few years back, had a huge graphic on both sides of his car with the dealerships name. He was getting $200/month for letting them do that, not sure how long he agreed to leave it on, or how they payed him, just what he claimed when I asked about it. He was fired awhile back so maybe that was a smart decision for him to help pay for the car.

Not only did I tell my dealer not to put a front license bracket on the car when it arrives, but I said don't even touch it. Don't prep it, don't put one on the back, don't do anything.

Working at a dealership, I always thought it a little over-the-top when people fussed about emblems. But I don't have one on our 05. If it was a truck or SUV or Focus, I don't think it would matter; just didn't want clutter on the back of our new baby. Tag frame is O.K. I think...

When I ordered, I told the salesman the plate bracket would be ok, but not to have a gaudy sticker anywhere on the car.

As said earlier, I don't mind the bracket since its easy to take off. Its a nice compromise since they like their advertising on the back when you leave their lot.

No I don't want them on my car. I made it clear when I ordered my car (no stickers or emblems & no holes in my front bumper) got it in writing............
