View Full Version : Dealer Tagging and Logo's ??

Here's a question I'll throw out to the forum and see if anyone can answer?

What's the deal with people letting a dealer, tag their car with dealers logos. "The ones that are on the Paint of the car." Now I know some of them are nicely done, and some are just plain awful. The "Free" dealer license plate frame is bad enough.

Now, I'm all for spreading the word if your treated right and the dealer provides great service. But why advertise for them, unless your getting something out of it? Do most people who have the car dealership logo's on their car getting free oil changes and car washes for life? It's just a question that's raised in my head, I'm sure some people don't care. But it's almost as bad as putting a big bumper sticker on your car.

Any thoughts? Anyone?

These boyz put together a letter of their demands for the delivery of their RX-8.

Take a look.

Yeah, I read that thread, but that's not really answering the question I posed. I'm just curious why people let dealerships advertise all over their cars.

I asked my dealer if I'm getting something for the advertising I'm about to do for his dealership. They said no. I told them to take that crap off my car asap. Thanks for coming out.

It seems the dealerships just stick them on, I specifically said "NO LOGOS" on my car when I bought it. They complied. I said if they had logos I wouldn't take the car.

My dealer puts a "bumper sticker" that is pink and girly looking on the trunk lid, like many others! I said they could give me a license plate holder no problem, but I replaced it too later.

People just don't care.

There is a dealer here in town that has such a "sticker" it's actually raised and matches the manufacturers emblem to the T! It actually looks nice!

I agree wholeheartedly. When I bought my wife's Milennia the dealer put their logos on the car. While I was treated very well by the dealership, and I mean very well, I still insisted that the logos be taken off before I take delivery, which they did.

I will buy my RX-8 from them and it will be my second car from them.

everyone seems to have the right idea. make a request to the dealer that no logos or other 'endorsements' are to be included on the car.

the only time I've ever heard of someone having problems getting the logos removed involves leased cars.
