That's just it, though, Paulzooms...the price quoted was NOT for one on the lot. It was for one that he'd have to get from another dealership somewhere. That's what made me think it was a really good deal. (the fact that he'd quote me that price for a model he didn't even have on his own lot...)

I wouldn;t worry about them not having the car at the moment. Dealers do trades all the time. They would likely swap something they have for the one you want.
 
If you want to know where the car is located, go to http://www.vw.com/d_v_locate/edl/html/find_a_dealer.html
 
Look for dealers in NM, go to their "New Cars" section, and search inventory for Eos units.
 
If you are in a hurry for your Eos, sign an purchase agreement for that color, interior, options, etc. with a delivery date of a few days away, subject to a sucessful test drive, mileage under x miles, etc. If they can't produce the car as described in the contract in the specified timeframe, they'll have to give you your deposit back ($500 should be adequate). Use a credit card just in case they fail to produce and start playing games, so you can dispute the charge and get the $ back through the credit card company.
 
If you're not in a hurry, go ahead an have them order one for you. Might be 4 months or so, but well worth the wait for exactly the model you want at a good price. The only down side is that if invoice price increases during that time, you'll have to pay a bit more if the contract is for $x over invoice. I got caught for $446 dollars because of that, but that's just the cost of ordering.

Well I broke down and bought my wife one of these tonight. Here was my deal:
 
Herman Cook VW - Encinitas, CA
Silver w/ Black Leather
2.0T
Luxury Pkg
Park Assist
$35,665 MSRP
Sold at $33,518 pre tax/fees which was $400 over invoice
 
From what I've read and heard, not too bad of a deal considering this is a pretty hot car right now. They first tried to offer a split between MSRP and invoice, $34,400 and I said I'd sleep on it and get back to them. Then they came back at me with $33,900...no go I said. The 3rd time was a charm saying I wasn't going to buy unless I was at $33,500 and they took the offer. HOLD YOUR GROUND MY EOS BUYING FRIENDS!!! Offer no more than $500 over invoice.
 
A few side notes, I wish they'd offer the brushed aluminum instead of the "wood" on the luxury package. There are so many other chrome/aluminum accents inside the car I just think the sport package has a better feel/fit. FYI - we didn't get the sport package because the car rode a little more on the rough side with the stiffer shocks and the seats were a little too firm. I'm sure the 18's added to the bumpier ride, although they do look clean on the Eos! Function over fashion with the 17's.
 
The normal upgraded stereo with the luxury package is sufficient so we couldn't see spending another grand on the Dynaudio. And we thought our handy $15 Thomas Guide would get us to where we needed to go, rather than paying $1800 for nav. But I was almost sold on it due to it looking much cleaner than the normal stereo.
 
Bottom line is this is a sweet car. Can't wait for the weekend to go topless down the coast.

Delivered Friday by blowininthwind

I took delivery on my Eis.Blue/Moonrock 2.0T Sport Package on Friday. I got $1,000 off MSRP by going to my third dealer. The first dealer I tried to work with insisted on $2000 more than MSRP because there aren't that many around. The second wanted MSRP. On top of getting a much better price they delivered the car to me, overnighted the papers. I saved a lot by shopping around and got out of sitting in the sales office for hours.

Eos Gas by aliceb

I love the Eos!!!
 
I had had a Cabrio, and was very excited when I heard VW was coming out with a new convertible. The price surprised me (higher than anticipated), but the High Octane gas surprised me even more.
 
Does anyone use lower (mid-range or low-range) gas in their Eos? Would like to know how the car runs on other than High Octane.
 
The tech guys at the dealership said that it wouldn't negate the warranty, and all I would see would be less gas mileage.

When I bought my Eos, I really grilled the specialist who gave me the run-down of my new car's features. I've never put anything other than regular in any car I've ever owned, so to go from reg to super gas was a real turn-off for me. I'd already purchased the car, and this guy didn't have any motive for selling higher gas, so I trusted his advice. Here's how he explained it: If you put in the best gas and get better gas mileage, over the course of a year, the actual cost is decreased because you use less gas. He also believes that the car operates better if it's given the fuel for which it was designed. I've filled-up three times and it still smarts to select the premium gas, but I'm getting used to it.
Good luck, you'll love an Eos!
