I don’t have a steamer or hairdryer or goo gone — why give these twats an 1hr of my time.


Agreed. I’m not removing it and I’m not buying any car that has a decal.


Recently got a new car and forgot about the fact that they would put a dumb decal on it. Peeled off in 2 minutes.

I take the stickers off with my steamer if the dealer forgets.

I don't believe in free advertising.

This. I’ll never forget my dad telling the dealer (after 3 hours of negotiations) that if he came back the next day and a dealership decal was on the car, the deal was off. No down payment until he showed up to buy the car.

I have done the same thing for 3 new cars now and haven’t had them flip on me yet.



I walked out of a sale because I told DARCARS I didn’t want their little sticker medallion thingy on the car I was buying. I was adamant (but good natured - at first) and we went back and forth for about five minutes. Then they brought in two other men who were supposed to be managers or something. They said it was “the law” that the car had to have the dealer name on it”.

I got up and walked out without another word. It wasn’t even about the sticker at that point, but rather that they thought I was stupid enough to believe them.



Darcars…enough said.


+1, lying thieving scumbag rip-off artist dealerships. Masters of the bait-and-switch and market adjustment pricing.

And the way they treated Tammy Darvish and forced her out… they need to DIAF.

This is me. I don’t mind the license plate holder. It’s easy enough to remove. But the decals are terrible. Some of them are big too. I think they look hideous and I’m the type that doesn’t really care about their car that much
