Re: [MBZ] Rear License plate backing
My ex-BIL negotiated the purchase of an Audi Fox back in the 70s (what a POS!). The salesman had the car prepped and driven around for pickup after the paperwork was completed. Ex BIL saw that the prep work included a rear bumper sticker and front and rear license plate frames promoting the dealership. He threatened to back out of the deal unless all identifying material was REMOVED. This caused severe heartburn but they did it. Can't remember if the sticker removal damaged the paint, but if it did then the dealership was on the hook to repaint the rear end.

Re: [MBZ] Rear License plate backing
The few times I've bought a new car I have put this in the contract. What usually ends up is that they still put a license plate frame on it. I'm not going to argue over that because I can remove it (and I do) within minutes of arriving home. It's the dealers that used to paint or use stickers on their cars that had problems. I remember buying a Ford Escort in 91 that had to go back to the dealer's body shop the day after I got it so they could remove the dealer's logo that was stickered on the hatch lid. The guy from the body shop that did it thought it was pretty funny.

Can't remember if the sticker removal damaged the paint, but if it did then the dealership was on the hook to repaint the rear end. I had to deal with one of the angriest customers I have ever dealt with (at the dealership) because of a similar problem. The late 90's and Early 2000's Cutlass Supremes had a panel on the rear trunk lid that had silver paint in the reflector (sort of hard to describe) and it was covered under warranty. So, we had ordered one for a customer and installed it for him. The technician also put a Don Wessel decal on the panel. It was a small and pretty tasteful decal. Whenever we replaced one of these panels we put the decal on them because we assumed that the prior one had one on it. The vast majority of our customers bought the car from us, so it would have had one on it when they got it. Well, this guy comes tearing around and raising all sorts of hell, screaming and yelling about how we put that on his car and he didn't want it. It was quite a scene. It really was so out of proportion to what we had done. I tried to calm him down and he was just crazy. Eventually, we were able to take it off without any trouble and he left. He came back a few weeks later for an oil change and never said anything about it. Donald H. Snook -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
