Pick up my car yesterday at the dealer and dropped off the I35 loaner. Looked in my car they put a service card with 2 mints with the inifiniti logo on them. This is too much. Everyone was frendly and I talked to my sells rep for a while. I saw a red coupe 6/mt, black leather, & tinted windows sweet ride (which is what I wanted but I needed a 4 door). When I got home my Car and Driver Mag was in the box. High praises received on the 4 door 6/mt "A four door Z" Same color as my car looked really good. I see acura is trying to pull people away with the new TL looks like there's some copying going on. The car has at little G look in the back. 270 HP front wheel drive. At least they aren't turning the back tires. I have a feeling the 4 door G will soon be bumped up to 280 hp like the coupe.Kev... :D

What dealer? I'd pay for a set of those mints. I collect pretty much anything with an Infiniti logo.

I'd like to know too... maybe Joe can get them and sell them to us. "Hello Joe? I need a dozen oil filters, three fuel filters, a set of O2 sensors, and a box of mints please!"

:D

P.S. I collect a lot of this stuff too - mostly from eBay. I have some old magazines, framed b&w photos from the original press kit that will eventually make it back up to the walls in my garage, coffee mugs, glasses, a 1999 Infiniti US Open Visor, the "rocks and trees" video ad, and the coffee table book. Most are within reach of this computer on a book shelf. I neeed help...

Heath & JesdaIt's the Raleigh dealership. I ate one of the mints, kept the other as a memento of the occasion. I think they used a local advertising company to print the infiniti logo on the after dinner butter mint package. No big deal, and the minty taste didn’t last for an infiniti either. Kev...

Hey John,Just a recall and 1 oil change so far. When they change your oil they also vac and wash your car. I get a better price for the oil change at tire king. I can vac, wash and detail it better. So I don't go to Infiniti dealer much. I don't know very much about their work but I do know they treat their customers first class. They want to score an excellent on their customer survey every time you visit them. I'm sure there work is thorough.Kev...

Thanks Kev,I usually avoid the dealers whenever possible but with the infiniti it's hard to find other options sometimes. Do you know if there are other NICO members around Raleigh?John

I get the mints at Crest Infiniti too. They know to always have a handful in the console of the J when I pick the car up. Just another one of those classy details that make owning an Infiniti worthwhile. Oh, the are the good mints too, the big butter mints. Very nice!
