Mine has about 200 miles when I got mine last Thursday. You can't expect it to be few miles unless there are abundance of them or you custom-order it yrself.

MSRP? by jnhashmi

No sure if this is base to ask, but wondering what kind of deals the dealers are offering on these. I aggressively pursued a base model manual, which I was repeated told "they don't make" but I finally found one, and it should be here in mid-November. I was told they would only sell at msrp. I took it. Did I get ripped off?
 
As far as the leaking, I'm anxious to see if/when that will happen. I'd be amazed if a roof with that many moving parts stay tight for long.

All of these questions and more can be answered at the VWVortex.com forum. It is more comprehensive than this forum. There have been minor reports of leaking with resolution. Yes, there are base Eoses coming into the state; however, currently there are about 25 nationally from what has been discussed in the forum. Most people are paying close to MSRP. I would think the base would probably sell at MSRP.

I had to pay MSRP on mine, the dealer wouldn't budge on price. I'm from Canada, and I understand we are only getting a total of 200 EOS's accross the country, so with limited units available, there is not much incentive for dealers to negotiate.
 
Reading the forums, it sounds like some dealerships are adding a premium to the price, so getting one for MSRP may not be so bad.
 
I would guess the only way you may get a break on the price is if you can find a demo with a few miles on it. Or wait a few model years and hope the demand softens a bit.
 
Just for discussion, a base unit, no added options, sells in Canada for about $38,600.00 (with a block heater, pdi, delivery, etc.) before taxes. Based on the exchange rate between the cdn and US dollar it should be about 20% less in the US, or $30,900.00. Does that sound about right for pricing?

i think u have to pay msrp unless ur in a state with a lot of choice like TX..where are you jnhashmi? u havent gotten ripped off my payin msrp..definitely not..but now dealers are willing to budge...and do ur research perfectly..the first dealer i went to was trying to hook me up to a fully loaded car for $38K, while al i wanted was the base model..and then he said oh there's no base models right now which was BS.
eventually i ended up getting..or will get tonight a lux package for $33700, which aint a bad deal.
The base model is a great car by itself.

Yeah I am going to have to get an automatic because my wife can't drive a stick. I have tried to teach her on three different cars and it is a hopeless cause.
