The amount of people I see driving their personal car around with a large "HARBOR NISSAN" banner on the top of their rear window is baffling. It's 4 inches high and like 3 feet across, so I'm guessing there would be quite a few people who wouldn't mind.

First thing I told the sales manager when I bought my last two cars is that if they put a banner on the rear window my cheque and I were walking away from the delivery. Rear visibility is already poo poo on modern vehicles.

The last car I bought they went and stuck a dealer logo sticker on the bumper when they took it in to detail it that I didn't notice until I got home since we left the lot after 9PM in the middle of winter. I was not impressed, but it came off easily enough the next day. Joke's on them, though - They were a Suzuki dealership right as Suzuki was pulling out of US car sales so they weren't going to exist long enough for me to even care enough to complain about it.

Numbers are the best so that I can tell if my car is better than my neighbor's. Bigger = better. That's all that matters.

Isn't it a little late to be showing concepts for MY2017? This is just the pre-production version, right?

blk posted:Crosstour, back from the dead (same size, too) I don't think there's that much of a difference between the "hatchback" and the normal sedan since I get a crosstour vibe from it as well with the weird proportions its rear end has.  It looks like they just chopped a few inches off the back of that. Cargo space had to suffer, right? fknlo fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Mar 6, 2016 |

It from the dealership Pörhön Autoliike, with their website address www.porho.fi. And without the umlauts that URL translates to www.moneybags.fi  I hadn't even noticed the meaning before my coworkers pointed it out.

Dealer riveted a dealer badge on the back of our 2012 Forester. Tailgate's ruined. Can't get it off without a big ugly scar. Thought it was a sticker/badge and didn't pay enough mind at purchase time.

This dealer is nearby and has some fuckoff huge badges. Even worse when people don't realize it's a dealer and think you're advertising you're an eligible bachelor who can't spell.

If it's anything beyond license plate trim, the dealer is going to be told to remove it at their cost before I take delivery of a vehicle. I'm not a mobile loving billboard and you don't get to gently caress with the paint on my new car to do it.

Small stickers I don't mind as they're obviously stickers X FORD X CADILLAC X JEEP I don't really mind if they're just on the bumper or something.

BloodBag posted:San Antonio resident spotted. Dallas too. Sometimes it works out, I had a previously owned truck from Sewell and got free valet parking out of it multiple times since they were sponsoring the location, and I hadn't bothered to remove the badge. It was for the Infinity store and not a Nissan however so the guy asked me to pay and I told him to check the back.

I always thought dealers would knock a bit off of the purchase price if the buyer was willing to have a sticker put on their car. That Harbor Nissan one is godawful and huge but at least they offer something in return for uglifying your vehicle.

"I'll put your sticker on my car for a discount" "Ok" *Immediately takes off sticker* You can probably see how this won't work.

they used to drill your trunk and install dealer plaques back in the 60's-70's, I hope no dealer does that still.

There's a local Subaru dealer around here that did do that to all their cars as well and then charged like $350 for it. Tesla's dealer-less future cannot come fast enough. Anything to knock these local kingpins down a few pegs.

When I was a kid I was climbing on my dad's 1990 Camry and knocked a badge off. I was really scared he was going to be angry but he was really happy because it was the Oursman Toyota dealer badge. :P edit: 26 years later and that car is still on the road. I love that.
