          I would’ve thought they install licence plate frames when they put the cars out on display, though I do find the idea of dealerships running around randomly mounting them to other people’s cars amusing.

            That is, how it works. At worst they put a plate frame on just before they sell it to you because you didn’t bring one to the dealership.

          Yes. They own the vehicle.

          You are free to do whatever you want when you finish the transaction. Which typically is actually a few days later after the bank clears it. Or you can ask for them to take it off. Dealerships just let it go early because they rarely run into issues closing the finance. And NOBODY ever brings their own plate holder. But yeah, “vandalism” 🙄

        Imagine buying a painting and they srpay paint a red X on it before handing it to you.

          Again, I wouldn’t buy it. Not that hard. See how that affected me?

          But the reality is it’s more like they put an easy to remove sticker on the back that takes 1 minute to remove. Or I ask them to remove it which they always do.
