Due a search on this as someone posted a specific spray to use that would show the sticker residue which isn't visible to our eyes without something beading up on it. The only way people could've got rid of it is to polish the windows and I'm sure most dealers wont do that prior to sale.
On the other hand, look at worn floor mats, brake/gas pedals, more scratches on the interior than what you would consider normal, tire wear, new tires on a 'new' car, excessive rubber buildup behind tires, excessive rock chips, etc.

I can see on my car on the bottom passenger side corner where some type of sticker was applied and it has more than the average scratches on the exterior which I have been slowly reducing the severity. It has 21,000 miles on it which I feel it is too high for a track car but not sure how long they keep the car for that purpose. I am the second owner. The original tires had about another couple thousand miles before needing replacement on the rear but there are signs of the wheels going on and off a lot. The interior had one scratch on the center console arm rest. I may be just paranoid but I just replaced my pads this weekend with Rotex Golds due to the dust problem and noticed where the rear tires rubbed a few times in the upper inside wheel well. Either someone loaded the rear with something heavy and hit some dips or it was run hard through some corners. It was a lease car so I am sure the chances are high that someone didn't care about putting a scratch on it.
I will be pissed if I found out it was a "Track Car."
