Anyone receive gift after purchase?

I just received a silver 'ACURA' engraved coffee mug in the mail from Lindsay Acura in Ohio, where I purchased my car. A little late, since I purchased my car last November...but still, it's kinda nice.

Has anyone else received gifts from their dealer after purchasing? If so, what did you get?

Free Round of Golf

In addition to invoice on my new Acura, I recieved a free round of golf for two from Performance Acura in Chapel Hill, NC. If anyone is looking for a great deal on a Acura and great service call them at 919-942-3191 ask for Brian, he is who i dealt with.

I bought my '02 used in '03 and last month when I had it towed for the tranny I got a coffe mug from one of the other service writers...delayed appreciation, perhaps?

The only 'gift' I got was the 2 Acura keychains I got with my car, but I don't know if everyone gets them. It's engraved with my dealer info on the back.

My gift has been more service visits in the last 6 months than any previous vehicle I have ever owned. This car is a gift that just keeps giving....what it is giving is another story!!

After I signed the papers, I got the salesman, the service manager, and the sales manager to not call me back about any of my problems - not a single phone call returned. Needless to say, I felt as if I was "used".

I got a nice bottle of red wine from the Dealer when I took delivery. A couple of months later I got the silver Acura space pen and a DVD-A demo disc.

Got the Acura DVD-A sampler only after I asked the salesrep to demo the DVD-A system during delivery - found it strange that it wasn't part of the delivery. Also received the Acura "spacepen" writes on anything as ink is under pressure.

Lastly, got 3 new catalytic converters on hour 20 after delivery. thinking about adding wood trim so i have something to knock on each time I get in the car .

I came home the other day and there is this big box next to my front door from my Acura dealer. Inside is a helium filled "good luck" baloon and a tin of Danish cookies. The funny thing is this is exactly what I got when I bought my 01 TL from a different dealer! Must be a local custom.

The DVD-A demo disc came with the car. I also received an Acura keychain and an Acura teddy bear (my dad told the salesman I collect teddy bears).
Later on I received the Acura "space" pen in the mail.

You know, as this thread gets longer, I get more upset. Missing out on a space pen is tolerable, but rounds of golf, wine, cookies, etc...this is rather irksome. Hell, I didn't even get the follow up survey...maybe that's why I didn't get a gift...they send gifts to those who are going to be surveyed, to help ensure good responses.

I got to choose anything (within reason) from the Acura parts department... I ended up getting a chrome license plate frame (I think it was around ~$25)...
