My wife is looking for a new car. We found it, worked a price we're happy with, and the dealer told her she'd get free car washes and oil changes forever.
I told her a few days ago to see if she can get me free car washes for my car, too. My car isn't even from that dealer, but it's car wash is real close to the house (it's at the dealer, actually), so I'll use it.
Today she gets an email...
"Hi Lisa,
If we work a deal I will include car washes for your husbands vehicle. Let me know.
Thanks,
Blah, Blah"
So now I get car washes for my car.
Then today she stops in the dealer on the way to work and says "Knock these last three numbers off and get me a white one for tomorrow, and we have a deal."
She just got a call, she saved us another 700 bucks and they're going to get her car as soon as they make some papers and I take them some money.
I'm gonna run my car through their car wash as soon as I take the money over.
:-)

Hopefully its a touchless wash. Especially hope they don't have the people that towel dry the car afterwards. Otherwise your paint will suffer.
Congrats on the good deal!

The boss worked this whole thing like a pro. I must say, I'm quite impressed.

I agree, Paul. I won't use it if it's not. It's right at the dealership, so I'm sure it is. I generally handwash my car anyways, but this will keep me from having to do it very often, which is a mega-bonus. Between Lisa and I, we easily spend $50-$100/month in car washes, despite handwashing. We like to keep the cars clean, I wish we could get free sweeping and detailing, too.

They don't do it by hand, they have a drive-through one. It's a huge dealership. They probably had 100 of Lisa's car, but not a white one, if you can believe that. They have white in the other models, but not in the Limited that she picked. As of yesterday, she had picked dark gray. They have that one, with all the stuff she wanted.
She really likes white, I'm glad she decided to go with it.

I'd have made them include one free loaf of banana bread per week too.

Lisa made banana bread a couple days ago. She said "It's a shame you can't eat any of this, it's f'in fabulous." You'd make a good wife.

By the "Limited" package you're talking about, sounds like you may have either picked up a VW or a Hyundai. Congrats on the new vehicle, whichever it is.

It's a Sonata with all the stuff one can jam in it. Lisa is driving an XG350 right now and loves it. It's just come to the end of it's ropes. We'd need to throw a bunch of money at it, and it doesn't make sense.
All I care about is the backup camera. I'm gonna drive around the neighborhood in reverse, just cause it's awesome.
The timing is perfect because she has to go to Texas this weekend and me and her Mom and Dad are going to a tool show where I plan to fill the trunk with tools. So I get to drive it all weekend.
:-)
Her Dad is planning to buy the same in April. We really should have waited, but yesterday she had a tire explode on the interstate. No sense in waiting for one more disaster, I figure (not that the tire has anything to do with anything, but it's ripe to fail anyways.)
