No more free sched. maintenance??

So I call up the dealer to schedule my free 10,000 mile service. Yeah, they don't do much, but saves me $35 in oil changing myself and this is the one where they change the cabin air filter.

Anyway, she goes "that takes synthetic oil so the charge will be about $110.". I said crap that I get free scheduled maintenance. She said "Oh Mitsu got rid of that mid 2004". I said that my 5000 maintnenance was free, and all scheduled ones up to 45000 should be.

After looking up my car she said oh right you got the free program- "not many did". I was wtf?? I said if I buy a 2006 does it come with the free maint and she said "nope, not offered anymore".

Is this person especially stupid/lying or what? Has anyone else heard this crap? Does anyone else try to use the free maintenance?

When did you buy your car? I thought they quit offering it a while back? Obviously, if you already qualify, you should continue to get it.

I bought my car in March 2005, I got free scheduled maint up to 45000.
Maybe its a dealer thing now.

The service guy was all surprised that mine was free when I took it in for 5000.
