Replying to: ladyofthelake (Oct 26, 2006 10:21 am) I am talkin right now to Momentum VW which was usggested by one of the posters here. They're givin me the base model at 31K, which is 4-5K below the one equipped with the leather or sport package.. Someone asked me why i want this car..Cos its a hardtop convertible. Thats the one reason..I testdrove this one but i drove the one with lux package so it definitely must be different from the base model Looked at the website u sent..thanks for that.. I think I have to take a look at the base model and see what it does/doesnt have. I dont wanna go there and be asked " Oh you wanted a steering wheel? thats not there in the base model !!!" Just kidding, but after driving 300 miles i dont wanna be surprised. Thanks for the suggestion about asking them the spec page..I shall do that..and will also checkout the dealer u bought from. Either way if I have to drive from Austin to Houston, I'd better check out all posssibilities.

| This is what I did with mine. I emailed them through their dealership website online system and requested information about the car. I already knew which one I wanted so I was frank enough to ask her about the particular model and its description. She replied me with the price quote. I asked about how much they are looking to get for that car as I am VERY interested to purchase without wasting lots of time in the dealership. She then replied and even scanned the price sheet/dealership invoice and emailed it to me. I went to the dealership on the very same afternoon and bought the car she price-quoated for me. | |

hi all..thanks for all the suggestions..while i am excited about nearing the purchase of the Eos, i am hoping i aint being hasty by goin for a just-released car...I mean last week no one in austin was willin to sell it for less than $36185, and now demontrond in houston has 2 cars: A red with sports package ($34100), and blue with lux package($34700)..Am confused about which one to go with. Does the lux package automatically come with the DVD nav system? And can some real automobile geeks tell me what is the difference between lux and sports packages>? Does anyone have a red Eos? Can you post pics please? thanks much Prat

Replying to: vw_rider (Oct 27, 2006 9:10 am) I can so hear the excitement in your post. You have to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Have the dealership send you a spec. sheet of both models based on the VIN# for that car. Then go down the lists and see what's different. Please go to the "build your own Eos" website and add up starting at the base price and see what you are actually paying. Demondtrond was making good deals earlier because that is where we just got ours last weekend (ordered in early September). We were very pleased with them. It is still emcumbant on you to know what each of the two models have. The Nav. system is deffinately EXTRA$$, but it doesn't mean that the dealership might not be willing to deal with you. It is not a part of the Lux. or Sport package but my understanding is that you cannot get it unless you have one of the packages planned for the car first. Being in a small town, we didn't have a need for it, and it does add a lot $$. Some of the differences in the packages include but not limited to are Type of suspension, type of wheel rims, texture of the leather, interior trim style of hard surfaces(all metal or part wood grain), I think the seat style is also a little different on the sport model. Many of the other package items are the same. We really think the color thing is just something you are going to have to see in person with you own eyes. We had originally intended to go with the silver but fell in love with the black instead. If you google the EOS you can find MANY websites that show actual owner vehicles outside of the glitz of the showroom or the air brushed advertisement photos. Try UTUBE.com or even MYSPACE.com. The answers to many of your questions are just a click away. After that, consider this: it's Friday, take a road trip if you think you may like either of these vehicles. Take your time, drop by the other dealerships while you're down there. We spent an entire weekend just test driving different vehicles of this genre. You need to be an informed buyer that can later say, "I did my homework and know I got the best car for the best price at the time". Then you can feel like my husband and I do: THRILLED!!! |
