#116 of 175 Bought my Eos today by drkoob Apr 14, 2007 (7:11 pm)
Replying to: jscholz (Apr 13, 2007 4:54 pm) I live in the Seattle area. Have wanted a convertible for 10 years and finally after a lifetime of family cars I have the coolest car I have ever owned.   Buying experience was excellent and I was lucky beyond belief. Bought the car from a wonderful sales guy at Chaplin's Auto Group in Bellevue, WA.   Have been researching my Eos purchase for quite a while. Had driven an Eos last week in Las Vegas. Loved it. Came home and decided we would go look today.   One of the things I have not seen mentioned on these boards is the Costco buying plan. Today is the third car I have purchased using that program. If you are not familiar with it, you contact a qualified sales rep at a Costco qualified dealership online or by phone. As soon as I had filled out the web request, I was called by the sales rep. He asked me about three minutes of questions about what I was looking for. He then sent me an e-mail with his contact info and I replied that we would see him about 11:00 AM today.   When you use Costco, the deal works that they have a list of the "Costco" price for every model. Depending on the model and its popularity the price on your car is listed on the list. For the Eos (with the current popularity---they had three) the Costco cost was $500 under MSRP. Once they give you the list, they can no longer play the bargaining game with you. You either take it or leave it. If they try to play the usual pass around to the sales manager with you, you can turn them in to Costco and they are off the program. Not something they want to be.   We went in this morning and got there about an hour early. Our sales guy wasn't there yet (he was scheduled to come in around 11( so another salesman pulled up an Eos for us, filled it with gas, and told us to drive for an hour. We loved it. No salesman. No limits. We ran it up Snoqualamie Pass, through a bunch of curves, pushed it to 80+ on I-90 and had a great time.   When we got back to the dealership, our guy was there and lo and behold he had the EXACT car I was looking for. I wanted a 2.0T with an automatic (but not the Triptonic), the Luxury package and I didn't want to spend for the high end bucks for the high end sound system as I plan to put in a secondary system. I was looking for the Island Gray with a black leather interior. And there it was. They had three on the lot and that exact car was sitting right next to the front door of the dealership.   We did a quick test drive of that car, told him what my trade-in was (I have a 2001 Subaru Outback wagon that I am giving to my daughter and I am trading in my daughter's 1998 Subaru Outback wagon that used to be mine with 100,000 plus miles). I told him that if they couldn't offer me more than a grand, I would just donate the car to charity. He said they could give me three. My wife said, "$300?" and he said no, three thousand. We were shocked.   Pre-trade in we got the car for $34000. Thrilled to death! Had planned to spend about $2000 more and thought I would have to wait weeks. Drove it home. And what do you know, as they pulled the car out after prepping it for us, the sun came out (yes--here in Seattle!) and I got to drive home with the top down. I am still in heaven.

#121 of 175 Warranty Question by 43kids Apr 23, 2007 (4:13 am)
Had a great purchase experience at Stohlman in Fairfax. I recommend them.   Anyway, I picked up a brochure on the extended warranty. I looked over the brochure and in the specifically excluded items, "hinges," "body parts'" and "convertible tops" are listed. Am I reading this correctly? If we had bought the extended warranty, the one thing that would be the biggest problem wouldn't have been covered anyway? Replies to this message: vwguild1 (Apr 24, 2007 10:29 am)

Replying to: 43kids (Apr 23, 2007 4:13 am) You should clarify this with the Dealer...That may be referring to soft "convertible tops"...
#123 of 175 Purchasing Question by gcjones85 May 01, 2007 (11:43 pm)
Hello everyone ,   I am currently in the process of purchasing a paprika red VW EOS 3.2L with black leather interior...w/o the tech or sports packages...simply basics on the car .   I have been working with a VW dealership here in upstate NY near my college. Before I even negotiated, the dealer offered me the car for $35,500 and he's getting it trucked to me from Philadelphia ....it was hard to find a basic 3.2L with black leather interior across the entire eastern seaboard . I think $35K is about $600 over invoice, so that is an awesome deal for a 3.2L right?!   What do you all think of the deal and color choice? Should I look or ask for something in particular?   If you own a paprika red with black leather interior please post them. I chose the black interior to avoid stains from my clothes or my passenger's clothes...and overall spills and accidents in the car!   Thanks so much for your help. This is a great forum!
#124 of 175 Took the Jump in IN by dadriver1 May 15, 2007 (6:04 pm)
Hi, I have been following this forum for a while, after seeing my first EOS back in February. The info here has been invaluable in my research. I just put money on a 2.0t luxury pkg. Eismere blue, Cornsilk interior, with Dynaudio sound. Should be in dealers hands later this week. Can't wait! After many years of driving the old boat ('93 Taurus with body damage since '03). My deal may have been on the high end, from what I've seen hear. However the Dynaudio option may have contributed. I came to my dealer prepared to ask about roof leaks. He claims they have only seen one complaint from a customer who had run it through a high pressure wash. I plan on hand washing mine (with the help of my daughter, it's the only way she will get to drive it.)   Thanks, I'll keep watching.

Replying to: just4fun1 (Oct 28, 2006 8:16 am) Read, the EOS lease questions,   He went to wash car for the first time, and it leaked. Also had electrical problems. Congrats on your EOS!!
