Does anyone know if we're allowed to tell our local dealer "do not place an advertisement (decal, emblem, plate frame, etc) on the back of my new car? I'm sure they try to get it on asap (maybe straight off the truck) but in my opinion they are either ugly or have a dumb name that just takes away from the car!


Who wants a plaque on their Stang?

Mine just pulled off. It was vinyl and ugly. The dealer is still pissed at me.

Course I didn't order mine, I got a lot lizard. BUT she was meant to be mine.....

 

I told my dealer when I ordered I didn't want any decals on my car. It's your car, you get it the way you want. I kept reminding him about this until I got the point across. No decals, but it didn't stop them from putting on those license plate brackets. I just went right home and took those off.

 

Just request that you don't want any of that stuff.

 

I'd just tell them not to put on or to take off any stickers that are on the body itself before you take delivery you can always remove the liscense plate frame later they will usually do that. but i would think if you tell them not to put on anything they would honor it.

 

Cool... I just figured they super-glued them on. Why else would so many people keep 'em??

 

If you don't want badge, tell them so and get it in writing and remind them often.

 

Tell them ahead of time, yes you're allowed. If they 'forget' have them remove it before you leave so they're responsible for any unlikely damage.

 

Good idea Chris, I gonna stay on 'em... just gently detail it and park it! Cuz I'll be right there!!!

 

Easy to take care of, and yes your dealer will fight it. I always tell them that I'll use their license plate bracket on the rear of the car until my permanent license plate comes in, but under no circumstances are they to install any stickers/emblems/logos on the car itself. When they start to fuss, and they will, ask them for a check made out in your name to cover the cost of advertising. Then remind them that if it appears on your car anyway, they will be required to remove it without damaging the paint or body of the car, no matter how long it takes, before you will accept delivery of the car. If they still fuss, assure them that you will ensure that no customer will buy a car when you are there as you will make quite a large fuss.

The last few won't happen, the advertising argument gets them every time.

probably right Sean, but then (in the future) do they really change your oil filter with the oil? or just shine up the old filter and charge ya??

or worse... wadaya mean I've got Iraqi sand in my tranny? I demand an answer now!!!

 

No free advertising allowed here...

 

Or here......

Shes SO yellow!

 

Maybe because us Mustang owners are much smarter that the average vehicle owner.

 

Haha, good point. Lucky for me I'm buying from an out of town dealer and won't be back except to buy my next car! Sand in the tranny, lol.

i already told them not to and they agreed with me that it would look tacky....i said hey gimme a plate bracket and we'll call it even. they r like whatever request u want. and im like aright then. no temp plate in the window i want it in the bracket and no holes in the front bumper ill mount the plate myself. they made note of it and said no prob. and if they dont fulfill my requests ill make them adjust what is necessary

 

azoufan.....ur method i can tell will work perfect but my salesman said that the "PISTILLI FORD" logo is tacky on the black. hes like ohh its no prob to have them not put it on. i will use their brackets tho

 

Well, if I was buying a Harley Davidson there is one company near Atlanta where I would wear their logo proudly:

Killer Creek Harley... now that sounds cool!

 

This is really not that big of an issue...I don't even have one on mine. I can tell why some folks don't get very good service from their dealers, though

 

adjusting holes in the bumper?
