FORD wants me.

Harry,

Around here, there's a local guy is the worst to try to sell a new
vehicle to. He rants and raves and dickers about pricing almost to the
point of being an emberrassment. He even goes as far as telling the
dealer to take their name sticker off the back. He says, either that
or knock off another $100.00. He then tells them that he's not
advertising for them, unless they want to pay him cash, or give him an
additional discount.

Man!

Out here in SoCal you NEVER see a dealer even dare to try and put a sticker
on the car (they use license plate frames that are easily removable). You
always know when you see a car with a dealer sticker, it was originally not
from here. I can't imagine the mentality that leads you midwesterners and
easterners to allow someone to plunk his sign on your property you just
handed him $20-$50K for the privilege to have.

I remember the days before the stickers, and dealerships used to get
they're own personalized emblems and drill holes in the trunk lids and
lock them in.

I agree with the guy. The sticker is nothing BUT an advertisement, and
should come at a cost.
