I've always told dealers that if they put any dealer ID other than a license plate frame on the car, I won't take it. None have ever given me any grief about it. When I bought my Talon, the car was sitting on the lot with the dealer's sticker already applied. I told the salesman that I wouldn't take the car if they didn't do a perfect job of removing it. When I came to pick up the car, you couldn't even tell that a sticker had ever been there.

I'd be weary of buying from a dealership that did that sort of thing. It shows a bit about their mentality towards the cars.
That being said, I made the same demands to my dealership and they told me not to worry, they don't do that to any of their cars.

I've noticed lately a lot of car dealerships stick their names somewhere on the back of every car they sell. For example, Nalley Lexus in Atlanta puts "Nalley" right above the "Lexus" sign (in the same size font).
Anyone else find this really annoying? It's cool when they just put a license plate frame, because that is easily removed. But I'm not sure those dealer signs can be easily taken off.
Anyone here ever told a dealer not to put their name on the car? Do they listen?

Never had it, never will. When they pay me to advertise for them I'll consider it. Dealer plates were the first thing to come off the car as soon as I got home.

Link above is bad it should point to this page.
-----------------
The dealer I was going to buy my IS from adds their placard also. I was all geared up to go the full nine rounds with them about it, but they were to busy to sell me a car so I went to another dealer who happens to only apply the plate frames. BTW, I am still constructing my letter to the "Elite" dealership owner as well as Lexus Corporate to complain about the dealer.

LOL.
get over yourselves. The car belongs to the dealer until you buy it. they can do whatever they want with it, and you can either request they remove it, or take it off yourself if you dont like it. and i like how you guys are such e-thugs with the "i tell them to remove it, or i will kick their asses" and all the little stories that you guys talk up, but never do in person.
and if you think this is something new, you are losing your mind.
back in the day (40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and even sometimes in the 80s) Dealers would either drill holes and rivit, or drive screws right into the trunk of the car to affix their dealer plates. you should feel lucky its just a sticker!

Even with loaners, with Lexus, you get a simple number on the top, you can't even tell its a loaner. I saw an Infiniti loaner the other day with TRONCOLLI all over the sides as a loaner car and it wasn't even an Infiniti, it was a Mazda 6
If you sold the car the right way and it is an outstanding car, you won't NEED a sticker, the owner will gladly tell where they purchased the car.
