Mercedes sent me a gift in the mail today?

Just like the topic says, Mercedes sent me a leather wallet, a personal vehical information card to keep handy in it and a $25.00 gift certificate to Saks Fifth Avenue. Did anyone else get one?

The only gift I got was a portable Mercedes Benz Garmin GPS Navigation.
I kept insisting I wanted Navi but they didn't have a C350 in stock that had it, so the manager threw in that GPS - on the house.

Couldn't the dealer just order it? That would have been a deal breaker for me.

I signed paperwork Aug 8th and drove home Aug 9th supposedly I was the 2nd owner in my area driving a new C. I had to wait a day, as I was so lucky to find my exact car/ color/ wheels but they had to get it from a dealer 197 miles away.

+1. That MM is very nice. If I am paying MSRP for my car a wallet is the least they can send me...

Agreed, even if it was a .50 card, still kudos to MB for saying thank you. I've never gotten anything from Toyota but their stupid survey for each and all of the $200K+ I spent in 2006 for a new fleet of Tacomas

But I didn't pay MSRP, so... *crunch crunch* I guess it'll have to do.

the $25 gift certificate must be new, because last year when my mom got her car they sent her a wallet and a certificate. Oh and two cool key chains (which mysteriously dissopeared) and were replaced with greenwich mercedes (there name and address engraved on the back...
