Loaner Cars
So you guys know how alot of dealerships put rear window banners on cars to show that they are loaner cars right? I always end up with a lexus rx as a loaner with a huge banner on the back window saying the dealership name and that its a loaner car. I find this kind of embarrassing to drive with and shameless that I am promoting the dealership in trying to show off what kind of loaners I receive. Well i'm sure most of you guys have heard of luxurymotors.com. Anyway, I was walking to class today and saw a kid driving one of their courtesy vehicles.
I thought I had it bad, but wow... I think ill take a taxi.

I'd take the Lexus dealer banner on the back window all day and everyday rather than that.

My dealer just has the plate frames (same ones that are on my RX, they're surprisingly nice polished aluminum) and dealer plates that say "Lexus XX" where XX is a number--they probably have about 30 plates. Aside from NOT having excess advertising, they even make your life easier by having a toll transponder attached to the front plate, so you don't have to remember to take yours out when you drop off your car. That's the way it should be done, IMO

Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett does it real classy, no stickers at all except the small number on the top of the window so the valet can find the loaners. I've seen the local Infiniti, BMW, Audi loaners with the huge stickers and it is funny but I don't blame them for advertising.

All of the loaners at my dealership have license plates with the abbreviation of the dealership and a number (LEXOR##) plus their name in white letters along the top of the rear window (I don't like that part). Their cars have tollway transponders too.

Thankfully my Infiniti dealer doesn't have huge banners on their loaners, just small numbers on the top corner of the windshield. I don't want my loaner looking like a billboard.
