Another Pre-order Gift

I got another pre-order gift in the mail today. Came in a black package the shape of the RX-8 steering wheel. Contained a letter and some info from Mazda and the gift -- a bottle touch-up paint in my car's color. Nice little gift. I will take a few pics when the trick-or-treaters slow down.

Thanks Mazda -- keep the gifts coming. :D

How about making everyone's Christmas with a little ECU upgrade!

I don't think it's a pre-order gift. I got the touch-up paint and I did not pre-order my RX-8. I just bought one the dealer happened to have. I guess Mazda just liked me better. :D

Perhaps it's a repeat customer gift. This is my fourth Mazda ( an RX-7 and 3 Miata's ).

LOL! Me too. I was promised some goodies after more stuff came in, including the RX-8 cap, but so far, nada.

I actually considered it a post order gift when I posted pictures a month ago. Got my RX-8 in July and the 'gift' came the first week of October. I'm guessing these are sent out to new owners the first week of the 3rd month after they get the car. It's PR and marketing for the dealership's service department. And the accessory brochure is there for you to order from the parts department, too.

I suspect that dealerships have to either opt in or pay for this 'gift' which would explain why some have not received it. Unless of course, you have had your RX-8 for less than 3 months.

I got my touch-up paint today. I wasn't a pre-order, nor am I a repeat customer (although I probably will be in the future).

I got mine today. Same day I turned in my RX-8... I don't think Mazda is very "integrated". So anyone want a bottle of Titanium touch-up paint? When I buy my 2005 next year it will probably be sunshine silver instead

First one to reply, I'll send it to free...

Steven

p.s. Dealer said he'd give me $1000 off any of the *45* he had in stock. I said I'd see him in the spring - I'm not making payments on a car that will sit in the garage all winter...

I have got nothing but surveys from Mazda. Forget the free gifts but stop the surveys. They sent me one to rate the dealership and salesman, two more for a service visit and a fourth for the second service visit.

Audi kept sending me free gifts (even after I sold the TT), tire pressure gauge, flash light and a keychain. It is a nice gesture and makes for loyal customers.

I didn't pre order but I did get that package today. I was excited as I thought it was my rotary accents but no joy. Touch up paint and some brochures. Pretty cool that they do that though. I've used the free service once and it was smooth and very professional. I'm still extremely satisfied with my 8 and the service Mazda is giving me. Makes me feel more special... as if having the 8 wasn't enough.
