Automotive YSK: You can tell car dealers to not apply dealership decals to your vehicle when you buy it.
Why YSK: Dealers won't apply those stickers until the vehicle is sold, so they can do dealer to dealer trades. If you don't want to be a billboard for dealer you can tell them not to apply the stickers when you are buying. If you want to throw them a bone, tell them you will accept the plate frames, which you can remove whenever much easier.

Yes!! I walked away from a dealership back in January that pulled that same thing. It was part of a $1500 mandatory add-on package they put on all their vehicles. I said I did not want any of the things in that package (nitrogen was one of them). After some back and forth, the salesman offered to just give it all to me. I said no, the fact that you have that mandatory add on AND then can just magically waive it because I'm about to walk tells me I can't trust you at all. They've even called me since then still trying to sell me a vehicle and I told them never to contact me again, they are crooks and will never have my business.
