Default Dealer gifts as a thank you

Just curious what everyone received as a thank you gift from the dealer?

Ex. Floor mats, Valve stems, coffee mugs, fruit basket etc.

An invite to the 992 launch party and all the coffee and water I can drink when I come to the dealership.

Rubber mats, which I than sold for a round of drinks.

Outside of that, you should receive a care package from Porsche in few months after purchase that includes a dressed up Monroney Sticker and a pretty nice 911 pen.

Every dealer in Los Angeles makes it clear that giving me the time of day is their gift to me.


Although I will say I met with a new sales guy at bev Hills Porsche that gave me hope that somebody in that org is actually cool and good to work with. I want to buy a car from him just because he wasn’t a total dick like everybody else I’ve spoken to there.

Lots of swag means lots of margin. I just want them to deliver the car to me, and push me out the door, empty handed, as fast as possible. I can buy my own key-ring.

I’d say pretty soon we’ll see a reinvention of the traditional dealer trending more towards what Tesla does. Especially as we enter the electric market. Order/delivery will be a much smoother and custom experience...sans shoddy salesmen.
