Guest JessterCPA Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I got nothing from the Subaru dealer. I got two t-shirts and two sheepskin ice scrapers from my Acura dealer though when I bought my TSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 [quote name='DSattler']My dealer throws a BBQ for new owners every couple of months, with food, door prizes, and time with the Subaru techs to ask questions. I got a good meal, an STi pen and some helpful info.[/QUOTE] My dealership does that too, every 2nd Tuesday of the month they have a new owner appreciation meeting in the evening. They serve food, and give out prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad21 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Oh yeah, they fed me lunch cuz I got there at about 11 and was bonking around 2:30pm. Drove the freakin' Baja I almost got instead to a sub shop, brought lunch back and sealed the deal on the Legacy, thank God. Finally got out of the dealership at about 5:15...

emlevins Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 When I bought my WRX. they gave me a calendar with a picture of my wife and I standing by our new car. They also gave me a WRX hat (that I never wear). Before I even considered buying a new car, they invited us up to the dealership for a free buffet dinner with free beer and wine. My wife and I went...I drank beer..lots of it. She drank wine...lots of it. We ate a little. We saw the white LGT Ltd. that is now in my garage. No...we never talked to a salesperson. Just drank. Had a great time. But we fell in love with "Pearl". I had to have her (and so did my wife). Did my comparison shopping and bought her for $100 over invoice within the week. Got the $25 visa card, the $500 subarubucks and I assume some maintenance coupons. I asked about the calendar and the salesperson said "We don't do that anymore". No problem...I'm a sucker for beer. 05 SWP Legacy GT Limited (aka "Pearl")- 5MT AP - Stage 2 Protuned (238/284) - wife driven 07 BMW 335xi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godwhomismike Posted October 26, 2004 Author Share Posted October 26, 2004 [quote name='DSattler']Subaru mints?[/QUOTE] He was probably making the sales guy sick because of bad breath, and he decided to give him a pack of mints as a "gift."

chinchy Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Here's a list of the things I got: - a brass keychain with the dealer's logo. - free rear license plate holder with the dealer's logo. - free scuff mark on my door from the salesman trying to rub off some dirt using a nubbed cloth and unidentified green goop compound. - three free dents in my rear bumper - free scratched console when they installed a short throw shifter - free verbal attack from a manager when they tried to blame me for the scratched console. - free warranty service for their three attempts to fix the alignment on my car with no success whatsoever. Incidentally this was finally fixed by another dealer. The brass keychain and license plate holder both went into the garbage can. I refuse to give that dealer any further business.

SFGR415 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 It is ridiculous what some dealers will give you when you buy a car. I remember hearing that a Lexus dealer gave a customer a tree....yes, a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbi012 Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 maybe a xmas tree? it cant be just a tree! :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGR415 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 no...it was a 5 foot tree that the dealer had dropped off at the cutomers house. Not a x-mas tree...maybe it was one of those trees that is inside the dealership. Maybe they were remodeling and didn't know what to do with it.

red beast Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 oh that's right i did get something. i got a set of those crappy license plate frames with their name on it. when i got home i promptly threw them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I got a rear plate frame too, but I don't mind. I refused the free front holes and rear sticker though. I really like the dealership, and that's half the reason I'm waiting on the debadge (get the nameplate out there). It may sound crazy, but I wouldn't mind more people going to them rather than the other shady Subaru dealership in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
