RmDebArc_5Paying for advertising
higgsbosonI always make car dealers take their own sticker or badge off of my vehicles. I usually offer to keep the advertising in place, in exchange for a discount, but they never take me up on it.
🇸🇵🇪🇨🇺🇱🇦🇹🇪🇷I make removal of any dealership branding a condition of purchase.
modifierHell yeah, brandalism is already too pervasive and just kind of accepted. Good on you.
Funny to see this, because I haven’t bought a vehicle in a long time, but I had the EXACT same thought.
I grimace every time I see that hideous “CarMax - - -” decal stuck to the actual car body.
Same with license plate frames that are like “Huge ‘Dicky’ Richard’s Auto Circus Emporium Honda Jeep Lexus - We rub you right!”
At least those just tell me “the driver is likely lazy or can’t identify a screwdriver.” But an actual decal? Yeah they better take it off, and discount me if they scratch it in the process. :p
Obnoxious, man.
credit crazyAt least they aren’t riveting badges onto cars anymore I’ve heard that used to be super common during the 60s and 70s
Woah that’s particularly egregious! I’m sure it seems like way more trouble than it’s worth, but nowadays maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to replace it with something cool. :)
Like a metal 3D printed badge of some sort or something creative.
I’m sure glad they don’t do that anymore though. The entitlement of forcing customers to be zombie advertisers is so disgusting.
😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈Absolutely. I always shake my head when I get behind a sharp looking vehicle and it’s ruined by a dealer sticker.
