Incidentally, a few months later, my husband was buying a Ford Five Hundred for a company car. Ford had these cute stuffed dogs on the cars. We asked the saleswoman about buying one, and she gave one to us :-)

I guess, if you don't ask, you don't get?

Are you sure this is not a cover up?

Does your husband know you are riding Nathan?

Jk....

Splashguards front and rear, trunk tray, wheel locks, the pen (which I lost), chrome keychain w/dealer engraved on back (which broke within a month) (Acura of Ocean in NJ) and lots and lots of rattles.

I don't know about everyone elses situation, but I know my "gift" was purchased for me by the sales rep (as opposed to it being a dealer expense)... He took me into the parts/accessories department, we chose the item, and he took out a personal credit card and paid for it...

My real estate agent does the same... She purchased us a subscription to Arch. Digest after we closed on our home with her...

Most of their customers come from referals...so it is good to keep the natives happy...

My salesman at Tustin took a pic of me in front of the car and 1 month later they sent me a wall calendar with that pic....

Other than that, I got a payment coupon every month.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but...

My dealer (DCH Montclair) seems to have thrown in the trunk liner and the splash guards. I thought these things may have come stock until I saw that they were for sale in the accessories catalog.

The reason I found this thread was because I was searching for 'keychain' since I went to the parts dept yesterday and they had nothing like that except for a few hats. Kind of lame... I wanted to see where most people got their Acura keychains, and it appears many got them right from the dealer. That sucks. I didn't even get 2 master keys... (they're fixing that for me tomorrow though).

Cool

A Rolex??? That's hard to believe...

I got a spacepen (which I don't care for as I have many calligraphy pens) and a bunch of survey to fill out that the salesperson told me to rate him as excellent...

Was hoping for some ornamental Acura pieces to hang inside the car

I am sure they turn it in for petty cash. Either way if they honestly did buy it for you out of their own pocket, that was very nice of them.

i got absolutely nothing, not even a pen in my owners manual. but i went it for service one time and they had a jar full of acura tire pressure guages...so i snatched a couple.

my dealer sucks, rated them good then found out that the service is horrible.

I got one keychain, but I did just take delivery less than two weeks ago. One thing our dealer has is an offsite location with detailing bays where owners can go and clean their cars on Saturdays. I don't know the exact details, but that's the gist as I was led to understand it. Is this a normal thing? Could end up being worth a whole lot more than a tin of cookies! Also at this location is a party house that you can book for free for gatherings if you don't want to clean your house!

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

wood knob shifter, keychain, a month of free car washes, space pen, and a wave of the entire bank fee. Not bad, eh?

Oh yeah, and the wheel locks too (they left a good bag in the trunk!)
