They do the same with stickers here, spelling out entire phrases on the trunk, not just the frame license plate
You can tell them to remove it when they sell it to you but often times they try to get out of doing that, lack of tools or some bs.
Long story short, it’s why I own a plastic razor scraper
Unstickered about 2 dozen cars so far for people I know, ain’t much, but better than driving around with ads on your car.
The last car I purchased had the dealership plates + stickers on the trunk and window, I told the dealership that I love the car and everything about it but I’m not willing to purchase a vehicle at that price while it has advertisements on it unless the cost gets lowered by about 3 Grand. They fought it a little , but when they realized that I was firm on it they ultimately decided that they would remove the logo on it to make the sale.
That being said never let them con you into saying well you can remove the logo yourself, cuz if you end up screwing up taking those logos off(some of those stickers are REALLY on there) you’re out the cost where if they screw up taking that logo off you can always walk away or they can fix their screw up
Just make sure that you are indeed willing to walk away if it’s not something they budge on, cuz it is definitely possible that they will just say well then don’t buy the vehicle
If they do it after you pay for the car, sure. Before you give them any money, it’s their car to do as they see fit.
Imagine buying a painting and they srpay paint a red X on it before handing it to you.
take off the ugly license plate frame that advertises the dealership.
I was going to remove mine, but I live in Silicon Valley and it’s a broken frame from a failed startup (Beepi) I bought the car from, so I feel like it kinda adds some Silicon Valley character to the car. LOL
It’s also screwed on using one-way screws so I’ll have to figure out how to remove those.
The dealership frame ended up causing an annoying rattle on mine whenever the car hit a bump. Having it on there meant the license plate was less secure and it would shake in response to the slightest disturbance. Even closing a door would cause an audible rattle from the rear.
Needless to say I’ve also removed the frame from mine.
As it is, the convention that vehicles already sport their manufacturer’s branding plastered on both the front and back is already obnoxious.
Public roads cannot be traversed without seeing dozens, hundreds or thousands of instances of $CAR_BRAND.
I suppose that makes me a proponent of debranding, wherein company logos and emblems are removed.
I think in the UK legally you have to have the manufacturer of the registration plate on it to combat fraud / cloning. But it’s tiny text you can only see close up
