Default Extras From Dealer

Just wondering if anyone is getting any extras thrown in from the dealer for free when completing their C8 Deal . :Like free car cover or splash guards or nothing because the car is so high in demand they are not throwing anything in for free to complete the deal ?

I got a deliciously cold bottle of spring water. It was refreshing!

Only thing my dealer did for me, BESIDES being thrilled to be done with me after 13 months, LOL....... was had my window sticker laminated, and also made a reduced size version and nicely framed it for my home office credenza.

I did early trade in my C7 Grand Sport and got what I ASKED FOR $$$

Other than that, nothing..... but they were totally stand up folks.

I spoke to my dealer at least once a month for the 13 months my order was in. Every single conversation ended with me telling him to make sure and get my free car cover in time to have it with the car. I didn't get a car cover.

I got a free cold bottle of water and a courtesy safety sticker (brake tag) which normally costs $20 at an inspection station. These are not normally supplied by the dealer in LA. I'm over the moon.

Got this also after one of the salesmen found a left over copy. Also got the window sticker, bill of sale, and build sheet all laminated. It was also the end of the year, and I noticed the 2020 Corvette color-choice and options guide (16 in. X 16 in.) was still in the dealership's customer kiosk in the showroom. Asked what would happen to those when they received the 2021 guides... Got those, too! Here's a picture below. Have wondered if anyone collects this kind of stuff.

Ha! I got you guys beat! I got this wonderful keychain set! Clearly a collector's item and I have all three! LOL!!!

I put them upside down and blurred the writing to save some embarrassment. I think it's hilarious how cheap these keychains are. I didn't know when I actually asked for them and the salesperson was understandably embarrassed to bring them out. I didn't understand the pain in his voice and body language until he handed them over to me... I had to give my best Oscar performance of gratitude as it was awkward. Compared to the "free" keychains I got from Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Audi, AMG, Volvo, Aston Martin, Infiniti, and even VW, these were really well below subpar.

Look like left-overs from the 1980's. I had a red one back then!
