I get a loaner car for free at the Mazda dealer with my $22K Tribute. Even the Audi dealer where I bought my CPO '98 A6 still gives me a free loaner, although the car has about 66K miles and is well out of warranty. The dealers should build loaners into the price of service. It can't cost them that much. It's unconscionable to charge more than $1K for service and then insist on a $10 payment for a loaner. How chintzy can you get? Porsche charges enough for service to include a loaner, even after the car is out of warranty. It doesn't have to be a Cayenne. Any decent car will do.
