I have a prediction to make. Let me know if I'm right or wrong: These cars with dealer decals are all from dealerships located outside of California, yeah?
I ask because I have a suspicion that CA law bans them. Either that, or our culture is so anti-dealer-decal that none dare try to add them. (Every decal I've ever seen has been from out of state)
- AceyMan 7y agoYou got that right. I'm from Georgia and when I bought a new car I had to get firm with the sales guy wrt no stinking stickers. But I'm in CA now and no one has stickers; the tactful substitute is a "complementary" plate bezel with some dealer details on it (name, city). Those are subtle and I kind of like seeing where people are from. Back in GA we have very legible county (2cm font) stickers on all the plates so that's how to geo-locate other cars there.
- function_seven 7y agoThanks for indulging me. I’m still trying to figure out why this is. I searched the state laws for any references to dealer decals, emblems, etc. and came up empty. But there’s obviously something that causes the statewide practice of no decals.
