Funny you mention that, I STILL get stuff from Mercedes even though that was several cars ago. Better yet, I still get little gift packages from VW and i havent bought a new car from them since 2002!

I wonder if those getting something and those that don't, are correlated to museum delivery?

Nothing when I bought my 06. However, back in 96 when my brother leased one he got some junk from the dealer.

Dealer "gave" me a GCA color matched rear lic. plate frame. They didn't give me one of their hideous 4" dia. dealer rear bumper sticker/emblem!

I told my sales rep that "Sheesh, I just bought your vette, paid cash, it would be nice if a nice watch was sitting in the seat when I picked it up" (like the atchd)! <CLICK HERE> (to see other vette watches). He looked at me like I was crazy ...

I am actually in Vegas at this moment, but working until about 5 p.m. each day. I was hoping to come out and look at your facilities but there's no way I could make it out there before you close. Being there, though, makes the waiting until December much worse!

I worked with Donna to get my class set up, but with my schedule it was a lot of back and forth. She was eternally patient and did everything she could to make the process as smooth as possible. A huge thanks to her!

About three years after I purchased my '98 C5, GM sent me a neat slimline emergency key in a plastic sleeve, that was designed to be carried in your wallet.

Purchased my 09 Z06 three years ago, and nothing.

What has anyone else received. Just curious.

Thanks

2011 Coupe

I got the driver handbook also. It came in a real nice package that I just threw out. But I still have the book and the leather case. Maybe the dealership had to pay for it? Cuz mine has my dealership's business card in it.
