Get free stuff...mats..hats..keychains...food....pretend you may get a bmw and try to get free car washes and so forth....most likely they will give it to you....its adds up later.....make sure they did service and all as well. Worse they can say is no rite?

Congrats on the new sled. With 10K miles, it must be like brand new. Was is a CPO vehicle?

Smart move on the CPO. You can't beat the warranty. Better than a brand new one. BTW, thanks to e1000 for the explanation.

I agree about the free car washes not being as good as the ones you have to pay for. My local dealership provides free car washes for clients with Porsche and Mercedes on Saturdays. While they provide hand washes for the black cars, they're still not what I would call "clean" when they come out. However, I still give them the car every now and then when I don't get a chance to wash it myself. They do try their best, they wash the rims, and they dress the tires. The car is presentable. But upon close inspection, it's not a "good job."
