He explained he wasn't going to be a moving advertisement and nowhere in the contract did it say they had the right to put it on the vehicle he purchased... He said they got it off within minutes lol
I've always done the exact same thing. Bought my Volvo from a Nissan dealer, said "I'm not a billboard, please remove the ugly ass sticker" - said they had to leave it on, but I could remove it when I left the lot. I presented my contract for advertising, breaking down the miles I drive and the 50 cents per mile ticket assuming I would keep the car for 5 years, was a 25,000 invoice. I said "Hey, we can knock that down to 0 if you take the badge off". Surprising how quick they change their tune!
