Dealer throw ins

I'm picking up my car this Saturday and the car has been tinted and we haven't finalized if they're going to put on wheel locks (I'm sure they will). I'm also going to ask for a carbon fiber looking license plate frame like my mom has on her car. What other things have people received from the dealer by asking?

Don't be certain they will...make sure you check before rolling off the lot.

I'm going over on Friday to check the car out as well as to discuss final numbers before I pick it up. I'm out of town now and haven't seen the car yet - my dad's been speaking with the dealer and he bought a car there last year as well. By saying I'm assuming they will, I meant they won't put up a fuss when I ask if they will - they actually asked my dad if I wanted them when the car came in, so I presume they'll be installed if I want them. I probably won't ask for anything else.

I got 8K off price, nice MB hat, free car washes (every time I visit), guarantied MB loaner when in for service, Brabus catalog, and personal cell phone numbers of my sales and service reps.

Since all they could say is no, right before I signed everything (after being there for 5 hours), I also asked for 18" AMG rims... they declined politely.

Ahh, I was thinking more on the lines of actual products. I too got dollars off, free car washes (that I would NEVER use :p ), 2 free details (again I would never use this), The business card of the sales and service rep which included their cell numbers, and of course, that free cup of coffee!

LOL! :p Good try!

'04 Mars Red C230K Sport Coupe (not Coup-EH)
I got a brand-spanking, all-new, fully-loaded, fully charged, no assembly required, Mercedes-Benz branded ... keychain light.

And a keychain so large and heavy its only possible feasible use is a boat anchor. But it's an MB boat anchor!



My parents got a bottle of wine (and not bad wine, apparently) for their '89 BMW 535i when they bought it. How things have changed.
Those all-weather mats would have been pretty useful, tho.

EDIT: I had a great MB ASCII star going with little guys bowing to it, but it didn't display right. Darn!
