I told my salesperson that I wanted something to sweeten the deal. I told him that I was interviewing him to see if he wants to earn my business. Always remember you have the upper hand and you hold the power. He then asked me what I would like. I then told him to close the deal today I wanted them to throw in a $100 gas card and touch up paint. The keychains, bottled water, and gift certificate was something they normally give. I then walked by a glass case with nice gifts inside and I told my salesperson that I wanted to sign my paperwork with the nice pen that was inside the case. Lets just say that he never asked for it back.

Not to be a party crasher, but for the dealer, the more given usually means the more gotten. As we all know, nothing is free, as no dealer (or any business for that matter) is in business to give freebies to someone who just margined them (this means selling a car close to what they (the dealer) paid for it). And before you flame back stating you got a great deal AND freebies, just know there are holdbacks, kickbacks, turnbacks, volume and association incentives, rebates and coops that impact what the dealer pays for a vehicle that have nothing to do with MSRP or “invoice” price that the end buyer nor true car will ever know about.
In the end, it’s all about how you feel walking out the door at the end of the transaction.

I got a set of all weather floor mats, a neat little velvet lined box with two keychains and a pen and also both my keys were presented to me with the leather covers on them. I still consider the IS 350 itself to be the best "gift". So far I have been very happy with this car.

Got them to throw in free maint, paint/interior protection, and dent repair/forgiveness for free. Mine is a lease, so maybe they were just trying to ensure the car comes back in good condition for re-sell.....

What about new vs used? On my new IS350 years ago I got what the OP got, mug and hat plus 2 key chains and key fob gloves.
Since then, on my CPO’d cars, an RX350 I got a blanket and all weather floor mats and with my ISF that I flew across the country to another province to drive home, I paid through the nose for their extended warranty and even the handshake wasn’t all that hearty… thanks!

Lindsay Lexus of Alexandria gave me a trunk cargo net, wheel locks, and "sporty" key gloves that I think I have already lost because I hate key gloves. The salesman was also supposed to get me rubber floor mats but they fired him before he was able to get his hands on any.
But the real gift was the nearly extreme discount they were willing to give me
