What free stuff did you get?

What free things did you manage to get from your dealer?

(I'll be expecting free mats and full tank of fuel considering all the money i've spend on dealer fitted options.)

Nice 500 logo mats, iPod holder and cable.

I think they took the value off the fuel supplied though. Car supplied with fuel warning light glowing!

Re: What free stuff did you get?

Forgot to mention that I also got oily finger marks all over the interior, on the white leather steering wheel, seats, sunroof trim, windscreen surround etc etc.

Very kind of the dealer, but I couldn't accept that level of generosity so had him take them off the car the next day!

Re: What free stuff did you get?

I also got precisely nowt thrown in. However,got a car with the right spec(!) in the first week of June as the dealer first suggested when I ordered back in March, the car was well prepared inside and out, the sales guy gave me good updates and was a pleasure to deal with. So not a bad experience all in all.
Petrol tank half full on collection by the way.

Re: What free stuff did you get?

Well, my kindly dealer threw in a set of 500 stiched mats,italian flag side bits for the rubbing strips, full to the brim fuel and key covers. Saying that we rushed it through so he could get his commission bonus for the month!

Re: What free stuff did you get?

You are my new guide as to what to expect for free.

The flag sticker is £40, the key covers are £40 and i think the mats are about £50. You did very well there!

Re: What free stuff did you get?

I was presented with a red box 215mm x 150mm welcoming me to the Fiat family with a nifty USB stick inside. No good for music for the ME system though, far too small a capacity. Just takes you to Fiat website to register and set up reminders for MOT, Servicing etc.

Also got half tank of fuel (does anyone remember when ALL new cars had a full tank).

Oh! ... just remembered got over £400 discount so can't complain too much.

ps. Got a set of mats from work £4.99 less staff discount and they look like they were made for the car, almost exact colour as original carpets.
