#20 of 175 Re: Slight disappointment [qbrozen] by photogal57 Sep 16, 2006 (10:58 pm)
Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 11, 2006 9:01 am) I had a 2003 Solara-It was nice-this rides just like it. The hard top is slow but when you don't have a garage, want a convertible and can't afford the Volvo, iit's just the ticket. Head over to Berbardsville or GC Volkswagen in Burlington. Bernardsville was good with internet pricing. I bought mine at VW World in Neptune...exit 100B (Freehold) .5 miles off the GSP. Easy to work with. Honored internet pricing. I got anautomatic with the upgraded audio system-has 3 mos of satellite to start you off (I figured I could turn on my own windshield washers and really didn't like the dimming rearview mirror so the extra package wasn't worth it to me. I got it for just under 33,500-that was out the door price. When I went they had 1 silver with black interior(like the one I got) and 1 fully loaded midnight blue. Good luck Replies to this message: eseir (Oct 13, 2006 7:46 am)
#21 of 175 Some Invoice Pricing & some San Jose Area Prices by dangerouscurve Sep 18, 2006 (10:05 am)
I'm not nearly as savvy as a lot of you out there. But since someone asked about invoice pricing and I haven't seen any info I thought I would throw in what I've found.   From carsdirect.com: Base 25,721 (27,990 MSRP) 2.0T 27.548 (29,990 MSRP) 3.2L 33,816 (36,850 MSRP)   Is it right? I don't know, but the MSRP seems to agree with other reports. The last I saw there isn't any invoice pricing information on packages or options.   In the San Jose area I have found the following at different dealerships: MSRP + almost $8,000 (that's right 8K$ over MSRP) MSRP + about $5,000 (said they might deal) MSRP and said they were willing to deal on the one car they had (not what I wanted) and MSRP for an order. MSRP - $500 for the car I wanted to order (a very loaded Eos) MSRP - $800 for the car I wanted to order   None of it has been pleasant, and some of it unpleasant. The big markups really make me pause. The dealer is telling me a profit of a few thousand dollars isn't enough for them. Which makes me wonder what kind of price to expect for parts and service (will they continue to try and extract ever dollar they can?). The last I saw, the cars were not moving off of their lots. All this in the midst of the Volkswagen CFO publicly concerned about the company profits. These markups certainly are not helping the factory sell more cars (nor is it helping their profit margin). In fact, the markups seem to be killing some interest and enthusiasm for the car. There may be plenty of enthusiasm left for the dealers to sell the cars the get at the inflated price. Compare this to what I see with the Toyota Camry Hybrid - the dealers are selling them at MSRP and cannot keep them on the lot (I am told this is true of Camrys in general but especially the hybrid). The Toyota dealers tell me they have waiting lists. But maybe it is a good thing for VW if the reliability is still poor (no sense in selling a lot of cars that need repairs - giving them a very black eye). If I got the JD Powers reports right VW is near the bottom on both the initial quality report for 2006 and the report on 3 year old models (2003). I know you can manipulate numbers and there are parts that VW does well, but they don't seem to be making the whole car with the same higher quality of some other manufacturers.   I hope this helps someone. Good luck to all you buyers. I echo the sentiments of carrara . . . shop around and hold your ground.

Replying to: KarenS (Sep 14, 2006 10:18 am) Be warned: VW will not let you order Navigation ($1800) without also ordering "2.0T" ($2000) and Luxury or Sport Package ($3490/3690).   ***Therefore, Navigation actually costs a minimum of $7290! ***   And if, for example, you don't want to be part of the animal trade, and prefer the "leatherette" upholstery to leather, you can't have Nav at all. Get lost! (Literally..) Replies to this message: auctionking (Oct 21, 2006 10:48 am) auctionking (Oct 25, 2006 7:16 am)

#24 of 175 Anyone in South Florida own this car? by eseir Oct 13, 2006 (7:46 am)
Replying to: photogal57 (Sep 16, 2006 10:58 pm) We are shooting high profile commercial here in South Florida next week and we were wondering if anyone owns one os these EOS. We only need you and yur car for a few hours and WE WILL PAY YOU VERY WELL for those few hours. Usually we would use the local delerships or rental car companies, but the car is not available through them. Let me know thanks

Replying to: pghacura1 (Oct 13, 2006 4:41 am) Lucky u!! I want one too! I want to get that same car like yrs. But the damn dealership wanted me to pay $10K more than the MSRP. Mind if I ask which dealership you got yr car from? Perhaps I might just have them shipped it to me. Replies to this message: pghacura1 (Oct 17, 2006 7:14 am) houstontxmob (Oct 17, 2006 2:50 pm)

Replying to: houstontxmob (Oct 16, 2006 6:03 pm) The dealer was Mikan VW, zip 16001, Other local dealers were at msrp, But I also tried Sams club auto service, Mikan was a member and they offered $1000 off because I made contact that way. I have done business in past with this dealer and when we said we would order one without the dynaudio they said they would take the additional $1000 off. Another local dealer has the three original EOS they got, only has sold ordered cars, come north to a dealer lots of convertables here. Replies to this message: houstontxmob (Oct 17, 2006 2:50 pm)

Replying to: pghacura1 (Oct 17, 2006 7:14 am) Thanks for the information. I do have Sams Club and Costco membership. I should have used that service. I hope I will get the same car soon!
#28 of 175 Good Pricing on the Eos by heymjo Oct 19, 2006 (4:56 pm)
The 3.2 Eos is about to arrive. I got a call from a dealer to tell me it would be here in 2-3 weeks. To get pricing, I went to Carsdirect.com. They sent me to a couple of dealers who told me they were selling the Eos at $1,000.00 UNDER sticker. A fairly loaded 3.2 with the nav system and the technology package (but NOT the upgraded Dynaudio system which doesn't seem to be on any of them at this point) was approx. $39.5K. So check pricing on Carsdrect.com before any of you go to a dealer and pay over sticker!
#29 of 175 Got my car finally! by houstontxmob Oct 20, 2006 (5:47 am)
Yes! I got my car finally. Only very few honest and reasonable dealerships around here. I am leasing this black /beige/ sport package/ auto EOS 2.0T for 36 months, a little over $600 per month. I think it's okay since my down was VERY minumum. I am EXCITED!! Woohoo!   Other dealearships quoted me $100 per month more than this one! Woohoo.
