A couple of weeks ago I received the same except an insulated cup was included. No thumb drives or key chains either. The cup is very nice and either myself or spouse will put it to good use.

 

Emcknight, I got exactly the same 'gift' that you did. Came in the mail yesterday. Wonder why they waste the time and money on that.

 

BIG DEAL......... A few weeks ago I got a Hyundai air freshener shaped like a Veloster.
It stunk so bad my wife put it in the garbage. :=)

 

hey here is the link for that post http://www.hyundai-forums.com/266-h...g-2012-azera/156520-did-anyone-got-gift-hyundai-when-you-bought-your-azera.html how long ago you purchased the car give them sometime they will send you it takes time

 

Thanks. Brought it the 19th of March.

 

@emcknight23 Yeah, I got the same thing yesterday. I'm not sure why would they even waste money on that.

 

Count yourself lucky! some of use received nothing after purchasing a new Hyundai

 

Count me as one of the *unlucky* ones - I bought my 2012 Azera in September of last year and received nothing. Oh, I did get a survey card from a 3rd party to ask about my sales experience. :mellow:

I should write to Hyundai America and ask why some people are getting welcome gifts and others are not.

 

I just got my "Air Freshener" a week ago. I agree with Xsolara - junk. Why do they waste the money?

 

They didn't on me. No gift at all.

 

I got the same thing. I was looking forward to the insulated cup too. Oh well.

 

I got one too. A bit underwhelmed.

Guess I'd rather be disappointed in the welcome gift than the car itself.

The car has exceeded my expectations in every respect.

 

Just got my welcome package in the mail. Just a thick card-stock booklet inviting me to join the MyHyundai website (I had already done that), and information on Hyundai Assurance, Blue Link and Rewards. A Roadside Assistance card was also included. The "gift" was a small screen-cleaning cloth. When my wife got her 2012 Santa Fe, I remember he getting something like a booklet to log all her Hyundai adventures in. I guess for people like us forum members who already know a lot about Hyundai, the welcome packages are no big deal. Perhaps the average buyer likes them? The gift could be better, like a coupon for your choice of size of a I "heart" my Hyundai tee shirt. At least that would get them some free advertising. Or a Hyundai coffee mug or ball cap.

 

Mr V -
I received a similar package, but in addition about 6 weeks later, I got a nice Contigo "Azera" thermal mug. That may have been a very limited promo, but it was a nice gesture.

Some posters reported getting the mug, and other's did not.

 

So far the only thing I've received from Hyundai after purchasing my Azera is a nearly three month delay in receiving the refund on my Sonata extended warranty. They are really beginning to make my blood boil - dealer seems to be dropping the ball here. I may be their first customer who actually requested a refund on an extended warranty.

 

I'm guessing that the extended warranty was from a 3rd party, not Hyundai. Probably the reason for the delay.

 

Nope - I would only buy it through Hyundai. But probably never buying another one.

 

I will trade you a air freshener for an insulated cup!

 

I don't want to jinx myself (knocks on wood), but over the past 38 years of new car ownership (a total of 5 cars between my wife and me) I haven't had a needed repair that would have been covered by an extended warranty. So, if something does happen in the future, I have all that money I saved on premiums to apply to it.

 

I've also found that lemons generally rear their ugly heads in the first few months of ownership. So far, Hyindai has been pretty bullet proof for me with two years of the Sonata and now the first 4k miles on the Azera.

 

I never bought extended warranties until I bought a big screen DLP tv a few years ago. Over my short 4 years of ownership, the repair man and I became good friends. He was over so much that I almost got him a Christmas present.

The replacement parts for that set far exceeded the cost of the tv, due to the manufacturer streamlining their production process by putting virtually everything on one board - which was expensive.

Needless to say, on the expiration of the warranty, the tv left the house via the same door it cam in through.

I just had a navigation head unit replaced on another of my vehicles - under warranty. To stay OEM the new unit was over $2000 from the dealer. The unit itself worked fine except for the bluetooth mic. Due to the way the unit was built, fixing anything means replacing the whole thing.

If this happened after warranty, I'd probably go with an aftermarket unit for under $1000 installed, but the fact remains that the warranties on even Hyundai's have limitations on them for some very expensive components.

The warranties I have seen that are sold by dealers, do cover these components up to the time and mileage limit of the warranty. Most usual is extending coverage to 10 year/100,000 bumper to bumper.

It is important to verify this if you are considering purchasing an extended warranty and not just assume the things you are concerned about are covered. One thing to really look for is if the dealer sells things that they title "Gold" "Silver" or "Bronze" type plans. Unless you consider the top tier, your chances of getting what you really want protected are pretty slim.

 

I just got my "Welcome" package from Mitsubishi for my Mirage. It contained a card for the emergency road service and a coupon for a free first oil change.

Beats the air freshener I got from Hyundai and the Mirage only costs 1/2 of the Azera.

 

I received the roadside assistance card as well with my VIN printed on it. Very useful.

 

After all this talk about "Welcome" gifts I received a 1-year gift from Hyundai for the Elantra we purchased for our daughters last year. It's the Hyundai air freshener -- lol.

 

Almost as useful as the pre-printed roadside assistance card

 

I got my Welcome Package yesterday. It included a blue Hyundai monogrammed screen cloth. Funny that on the same day I received it was the same day I got my first oil change at the dealership. I also received $20 off the oil change since I brought it back to my dealership for the first service.

 

First oil changes are free at my dealer... a nice little perk
