lol...I told the dealer I would *only* buy the car if he removed all his stupid badges and license plate frame. He didn't appear very happy, but I explained to him that for a nominal monthly fee, I would be happy to advertise for him...which led him to removing the decals without any further debate. I'd never seen so much 'car lot' advertising on the cars until I moved to Phoenix. I don't remember that being an issue in NorCal.
