Do they offer a big discount if you leave the atrociously huge and often poorly fitted banner across the arse of every car they sell ?
Why do people leave that monstrosity on the car?
Ive always gone round any car once home and removed any unpaid advertising left on it.
If I had to buy a car from them it would be on the condition they remove it from plates and the car. I am not an advertiser.Why do people leave that monstrosity on the car?

My car is 31 years old and still wears the original number plates and rear window sticker from the supplying dealer ,Haworth's of up north ,sorry forgotten where without going outside to look at it .
Merseyside I think ,they don't seem to be trading anymore .

Had good experiences too from them. Prices are keen but usually trade in price poor all down to what the computer says. If you are trading in an immaculate motor you won’t get any more money for it.
True, traded my Volvo S80, 02 reg, 144,000 miles serviced by them since I bought it from them as an ex demonstrator, got £500It then went to local car auction and turned up down the road at a dealer for a grand.
When i worked for them way back in 2005ish, i spoke to the man himself. Even back then he was starting to be a bit dittery with age and to me he was really just rolled out for publicity for customers and staff.
He said, he wanted to see every car in Scotland with his name on it.
Anyway, i peel the stickers off.

I've bought a couple of cars from them before.
After handover I would drive to the nearest handy place to stop and remove them right away, literally within minutes.
Couldn't stand the yellow monstrosities on my cars.
TBH I do it with all the cars I buy, but their sticker is particularly horrible looking.

I'm only a month back in the UK and was saying the same thing to my girlfriend just this last week! The Arnold Clark stickers are particularly unsightly so why keep them on? Why do people leave that monstrosity on the car?

I can understand some folks just not bothering with smaller stickers that are also mostly transparent with just a small print dealer name and the car brand logo from a main dealer etc but the AC ones are ugly and obvious.
I used to be in the trade, and one of the AC guys told me that they put the sticker on the outside of the glass to make it easier to remove without damaging the heated rear window element, so, in fairness they do acknowledge that many people will want to remove it.
Having said that, the sticker used to come off in one go; on Mrs C's car, which she bought recently from AC, either the plastic was thinner, or the glue stronger, but it kept breaking off in tiny pieces and took ages to peel off.
By law number plates must show the name of the supplier + a postcode, so I see nothing wrong with AC putting their name on them.
