Looks like all of the goodies are in Cali! That valet is nice perk. The Lexus dealership here in my area canceled it at both of the malls where they once offered it. So that is out as an potential gift!

I avoid valet on all of my cars; too OCD and wouldn't have peace of mind; hate it.

Have even discussed same w/ nearby dealers that no longer permit customers to park their own cars, at which I've been told to name drop and would be allowed to park myself.

I don't valet either, even though it's free at the mall near my dealer and useful during the holidays. A couple of times I've driven around for 10-20 minutes trying to find the best parking spot. Beyond 20-30 minutes, I'd just go home and try again another day, this is only an issue around the holidays.

I wonder if I can just go there with another car and show them the Lexus frame.

If it's free, I don't know why they can't just let me drive into the valet area myself... Even as a paying costumer, I would want to drive it in myself. At a few malls, like Fashion Valley in San Diego, you can pay for "up front" parking, not the same as valet, but a reserved paid area where you self park.

I never knew about this Fashion Valley parking option! Normally I park by the trolley station where the spaces are wider

Haha, it's the parking garage next to Cheesecake Factory. Not sure if things have changed, though, haven't been to Fashion Valley for a couple years.

I received two Lexus branded Thermos 16oz travel mugs, two leather key gloves, the accessory package, intuitive park assist (salesman swore it was part of the luxury package, and I said not, and I insisted it be part of the order, it was added after I singed purchase agreement), and a gift basket of cheese, crackers, and snack mix. Still paid too much for the car. So lets face it, none of this crap is a gift!

You probably received gifts because they made a hefty profit on your car.
