Default Dealer said I could get A "Free Gift"

So i went and checked out the tC again today and once we were talking pricing i asked if they could throw anything in because i would be paying in full. Although i figured they would say no, scions are pure pricing, blah blah blah he said that he would ask the manager. so the manager comes over and i tell him the situation and he says that they cant throw anything in, but that he could give me a "free gift" as long as it wasn't on the actual write up of the car.

I have no idea how much monetary value this gift would be but he said to let him know what i would like and he will see what he can do. So what should I ask for? I was thinking maybe a 3rd key.... but i really don't need a 3rd key but i cant think of anything else that isn't too expensive that they might throw in.

Ideas?

Yeah, you need to find out what kind of "free gift" they had in mind. But it can't hurt to aim high. You should go back there and demand a free xD with your tC.

2 master keys, and one "valet" key, it can start the car, but it doesn't have keyless entry, and it can't unlock the glove box.

He'll probably give the the foam cup iPod holder. That was my "free" gift, even though I wasn't expecting one.

LOL the old pay in full with cash. The deal doesnt care they will get the money no matter which way you pay them, IE cash, check, MO, cashier check, LOAN, etc....
They will still get PAID.

LOL give me free ____ because I pay in full with cash.

They may give him something well worth it. The dealer gave me the pedestal spoiler since they "said" they couldn't get a dealer trade on what I wanted.

Yeah, just like my daughter who got pulled over for tint yesterday and got no ticket...
Girls get all kinds of **** because they're hot and guys are like dogs without a bowl of water when they see one.

AS for the OP - why in the **** should you get anything free for paying cash?
I pay cash all the time for lots of things and don't get prizes.
Oh, and don't you mean daddy paid cash?
