Got an Impala with 17K miles, a strange liquid in the door pocket, and 0% oil life. Exchanged at AVP for a Grand Prix with 3K miles.

I think this was a one-class upgrade to a premium which is fine because we didn't want a Town Car. Nice ride, new car.

Received: Lincoln Towncar - Declined it - Exchanged for a Cadillac CTS.

Finally the very helpful agent "Monica" suggested that since I don't prefer the Towncar she can put it in my profile to never give me the Towncar - so lets see what happens next time.

I always reserve a full-size or a mid-size, and I write in my profile which car I want, so the following lists the airports, and the upgrades:

JFK - Lincoln Town Car
DTW - Chevrolet Venture
DTW - Cadillac DTS
DTW - Toyota Sienna
DTW - 12-Passenger Van
DTW - Kia Sedona

I rent every weekend at RIC (used to be loyal to National, but Avis is about half the price of National at RIC with a Friday or Saturday night stay) and almost always get a Fusion, but maybe the employees there are starting to recognize me and hooking me up with better upgrades. They've always got a glut of cars at this location on weekends as it's a very business-heavy market.

I must be cursed. I almost never get an upgrade and I have been Avis First since they started the program.
