I recently bought a 2011 C300 Sport and was wondering if Mercedes-Benz sends a welcome gift to new customers.

 

Nothing for me, though I got the usual free mats and thermos cup from the salesman. Just about every dealer has given me those, however.

 

i got nothing but my sister got a MB teddy bear and wooden engraved cd case.

 

I got a $25 gift card to saks .

 

Second MB and no gifts, just a book about the history of MB, went straight into the garbage. thats in Canada

 

Subjective as this maybe, they've already given you the gift that keeps on giving... Anything over and above that, should be left to the individual dealer or more likely the salesperson you dealt with.

 

A gift or a token of appreciation of doing business with them is usually given at the end of the sale. It can be in a form of free service (tinting, free oil change, etc.) or a gift from their MB boutique (shirt, keychain, etc.)

The only thing I get from time to time is Christmas cards, anniversary card and invites to special local MB occasions

 

Slap yourself right now.

 

They sent me a gucci wallet, a free 1-hr massage, a $50 starbucks gift card, and...






I'm kidding, I got jack sh*t.

 

Me as well plus 2 free key chains and a MB coffee mug.

P.S. the gift card came in the mail about 1-2 weeks later it was not a dealer sponsored item. It came from MB HQ.

 

I got carpet but I think it comes with car? Also got two key chains and a blanket with 3-star logo and dealer's name (Autobahn Motors). I asked for a coffee mug so they gave me one.

Nothing from MB headquarter.

 

In Mexico, MB sent a high-tech CD/DVD zippered case, a MB book bag, (for the wife) and a key fob. In addition, you get a subscription to the monthly Mercedes-Benz Magazine (I have gotten it for 18 months now, but don't know for how long), a very slick, glossy publication in Spanish with some interesting previews. For instance, even though there is typically a 60-day printer lead time needed, a review and specs with a dozen pictures of the new CLS appeared in this magazine months before seen elsewhere on the Internet. Also an article with pix of the A-Concept a month before the Shanghai Auto Show where it was "unveiled". Neat, huh?

Better still, half the magazine is dedicated to fashion, jewelry and decorating, many of us know exactly what this is good for!!! Here is an image:

 

I remember when M-B Dealers used to have Chocolate Chip cookies freshly made at their Dealers. It seemed like they all phased that out during the 2008 downturn. I wonder if it was an HQ related thing....

 

Dealer here in VA. American Service Center has free coffee cookies, brownies and muffins.

Also MB of Miami in Florida has the same.

 

Our sales woman gave us a nice bottle of wine in a wine bag with the MB emblem on it.

 

Dealer gave me 2 key chains and MB USA a 25.00 Sacs card for both W204s for my second the salesman gave me 20.00 credit in the gift shop. Used it to get a nice CF key chain.

 

I got a $750 family portrait session with some hot shot photographer with a couple free prints. I mean, I didn't benefit much from it but I guess it's better than nothing.

 

I received two key chains, free coffee & cookies when they bend me over. I just double up on he cookies because I don't drink coffee.

 

I received the Saks gift card from MBUSA. The dealership gave me two leather and metal keyrings and a slab of solid German chocolate.

For my 2008, I got the same Saks gift card from MBUSA as well as a CD wallet. The dealership gave me the same slab of chocolate and two metal keyrings.

When I'm there for service, the cashier always hands me a chocolate covered shortbread "Best of the Best" cookie along with my key.

 

They gave me a $5 hooker....ooooh yeah

 

I suppose I'll have to settle for the sunshade I squeezed out of my salesman and the ONE complimentary key chain.

 

I got 2 keychains (with the dealers address on the back)

 

I got a "Thanks"

 

I got ONE keychain with the dealers address on the back AND a sticker on my trunk with the dealers name..

 

I got a payment book.
