I guess it all depends how much commission they make off of you. Maybe you paid sticker and they were like "Hell ya!! Thanx man!! Give that guy some appreciation...OK we have some glasses sitting around here somewhere. Ya, just give these to him and he'll come back and buy something else!!"

As for me I knocked over $5k off the sticker, my dealer didn't give me a thing extra! As a matter of fact I was so happy with my deal I drove out of there like I stole it before they could reread the paperwork, ahaha!

jkidding, I'm just jealous of the glasses.

They look like Riedel glassware which is high end. I work in the wine industry and recongnize the red sticker.

I hope I get something like that since I just bought an 08 TL-S.

Isn't THAT the truth! AMEN! Some people just like to complain.

On the other hand, I think it's really nice that someone here got something so cool from Acura. Congrats to the OP. Enjoy a snifter for all of us that wish we got them as well.

If you enjoy your bourbon straight-up, there's none finer!
Now if we just had the glasses...

Nice swag!
It's the little things that keep you thinking about your dealer and customer service. You are a good customer and they want to keep your business. It is a small price to pay for hanging on to a good customer that spends ++$38k. Well worth it.

^^^^^ BTW, TomTennis-smokin avitar.

When I bought my car, the dealership gave me an Acura cap, a pen and a travel mug.

But Jay Wolfe Acura gives you free oil changes for LIFE !!!!....when you buy the car from them. And...if you schedule your oil change online, you can bring it in during lunch and they'll have a Panera Bread lunch of your choice waiting for you while they do your oil change.

I was thinking the same thing. I knocked off $6,575 off MSRP when I got my 07 TL-S and they didn't seem too happy with me. They were nice up to the point where I was working the deal but after they knew that I wouldn't budge on my price, the dealer kept on complaining that she won't be making that much money. What was even funnier was when I tried calling her about buying another car for my dad, she didn't even return my call.
