okay, i'm sorry, I just had to share this. There was an envelope in my mail box and written on it was "Your gift is enclosed." I was (kind of ) excited.
This was the letter.

Dear Rachel.
With the holiday season just around the corner, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank those customers who have helped make our success possible along the way. Please accept the attached gift as out way of saying thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Your friendly service team,
Napelton's Northwestern Ford

Than at the bottom, there was a gift certificate off my next Ford, Lincoln, or Mercurt vehichle. $10 off my entire purchase!!!!

I just thought it was so funny. I mean, is anyone going to go out of their way to purchase their new car at this place because of a $10 gift certificate? Also, cars aren't something you buy every day or even every year. I mean, it's not like someone was deliberating a new Ford Freestyle and the g.c. made the deal for them. There have been times when I was thinkinh about a certain sweater or shoes, and then I got a coupon for the store, and it made me change my mind....but on car?

Oh, if anyone wants a g.c. off your next purchase at Napleton's Northwestern Ford, pm me! :P

Okay, I might consider sending that to CR for the "Selling It" (inside back cover) section of their magazine. :P

Wow! That dealership sure knows how to keep the customers happy!

Is the gift cert for purchase of a new vehicle only, or can it be used for an oil change also? That would make more sense to me.

Erika, I was thinking of you when I typed this- it's for a new car only.
We got another coupon 3 weeks ago for 9.99 oil change.

I'm glad that I gave everyone some good laughs. I think I will send it in to CR.

WOW! I recently got a "check" in the mail for $2500 towards my purchase of a GM vehicle with a local dealer. Only problem is we just bought a new Honda Odyssey three months ago, and won't be purchasing a new car anytime soon. But I think $2500 might sway me more than $10!! Must be some cheapskate little dealership!! LOL Thanks for the little chuckle! :)

Send it in to Jay Leno. He does headlines every Monday and that would be perfect for his show (he loves cars).
