Bought a TL in August...6 months later and now this...

The title is a little misleading...lol I bought an '08 TL from Rallye Acura in Roslyn, NY on August 29, 2008.

I get home today and what's on my door step?



What could it be? "Being able to celebrate a variety of occasions." Maybe a set of those Acura glasses?

Nope! Something much more useful to me thankfully!




Those little rubber strips on the bottom seriously lock it into the cup holder. SWEET! Thanks Acura!

I got a nice Acura keychain, and a mug like that one (but not quite as nice) from my dealer. My salesman also gave me the front bumper plugs and a bottle of touchup paint a couple weeks later when I asked about it. Hopefully they are generous about repairs/warranty issues.

I got one of those too - about 6 months after my car purchase as well. The cup seems to transmit too much heat (doesn't keep the coffee hot).

Although....yours has a nifty grab handle...hmmm...

Nice that you got it free. I got this mug from my dealer but only after paying $30 for it.


It keep coffee hot for 4 hours; long enough for me to get tired of it and drinks cold for 8 hours.

The only thing I get free from my dealer is spam reminders about overpriced service for my TL.

Retail !!!!!



No, when I bought my Type S, my sales person gave me an Acura pen, which I keep in the center console. Plus, I got an Acura hat and a couple of travel mugs. When I negotiated the deal, I bought mud flaps and wheel locks. They threw in winter mats and a trunk tray.

Wow that Mug looks nice...I really could use one of those, maybe I should hint at it when I take my car in for service this weekend..

I got a free Acura Key-chain when I bought the car, think they go for about $15 at the dealer if you buy them.

All the other accessories like all weather mats, trunk tray etc I believe was part of the price of the car. So even though my sales was saying they were free, I checked after I got home and noticed that it was part of the protection package or w/e the car had and it cost like 600 bucks.

RC51 Ryder's mug is much nicer. These are kinda cheaply made. I havn't used them yet because they smell like plastic still (like 99 cent store) and I'm soaking them to get rid of the smell.

As for what I got when I bought the car, I got 2 Rallye key chains, one for each key, and an XM pen...lol

I paid $31,000 out the door with nav (tax, title, license, financing, etc) so it's not like I way over paid.

They did however not give me a valet key when I picked the car up because the car porter lost it, so I had to sit in service one saturday morning for an hour while they cut and programmed a new one. Although they did have free coffee, bagels and cookies.

I bitched about having to go back becasue of their mistake, hoping I'd get a discount on some accesories or something...maybe that's why they sent me them?

Rallye gave me a really nice dark green polarfleece throw blanket for the car. Each corner has one of their logos embroidered on it - Acura, Mercedes, Lexus, BMW - so I keep it folded with the Acura logo showing.

It's funny how excited we get from this free crap after spending tens of thousands of $$$ on our cars.

That's a very nice mug. I'd like to have one of those myself. I did get the tumblers though. But I'd use the mug more. Very nice gift.
