I have a Candy White on Beige, sport leather, 2.0T and Tiptronic auto on order for late April 07 delivery for an anniversary gift for my wife. This will be our first VW. Just wondering if anyone who has owned one for a while has experienced any water leaks on the roof seals or around the windows when it rains or in the car wash??

Replying to: just4fun1 (Oct 28, 2006 8:16 am) This was our first v-dub too. I was worried about the leak possibility also, but we've been high and dry. I have heard of a few leak problems, most of which seemed to be resolved except for one person whos dealer is still trying I guess. When we ordered our car we made it clear to the salesman we wanted it fully leak tested before delivery. There have been no problems so far and it has rained on it hard. Good luck....BTW, it's a really fun car, I'll bet she'll love it!

Replying to: auctionking (Oct 29, 2006 7:03 am) I'm from Canada, and the weather here can be extreme, so it will be as good a test for the roof as any. I've asked the same question on other forums as well, and so far the response has been "no serious problems" or "no problems", so I'm feeling more confident all the time. I was looking very seriously at the Toyota Solara SLE, and also eying the Volvo C70, but when I saw the EOS while surfing the web, I was immediately intrigued and started researching it closely. I really like the clean, simple, profile of the car. The styling is decidedly european with an unassuming elegance which I find very appealing. When I checked one out at the local dealership I found the car exudes quality of workmanship and fit and finish. Your response confirms what I already believe. The EOS will be an excellent choice for my wife (and me, the odd time I'll be allowed to drive it).

will first start by saying that every dealer here in Maryland has at least a couple of cars on the lot. I started this adventure by going to the Edmunds online site and sending out requests for pricing. They all pretty much got back to me within a day. None of the dealers seemed to want to sell me the car any lower than MSRP. I then started expanding the search to VW dealers close enough but not too far away. One dealer’s ePrice was about $1500 of the MSRP price but my wife doesn't care for the Thunder Blue. I then requested the price from that dealer and used that against a dealer around the corner. The dealer close to me was willing to match that price and played the two dealers against one another. The I was able to get the following car for $36,000 plus tax and tags.. 2.0t Silver Luxury Package DynaAudio Navigation Park Distance Seemed like a good deal to me so I agreed and went to the dealer last night to pick up. Because of the timing of our arrival the dealer could not get in touch with the banks. They let us take the car for the weekend with dealer plates. I have never had this happen in all the cars that we have purchased. Overall impression of the car is it feels more refined than I thought a VW would. I have owned 2 Audi TT and this car is right up there with fit and finish. The engine feels like it has more than enough power although I did not floor it because of the break in period. The sun roof is big and lets a lot of light in during the days. I put my daughter’s car seat in the car and took her for a spin and it has much more space than my Mini Cooper S Conv. Yes that car was an impulse purchase and not really the best for a family. I really only commute to work in the car, so I really don't need a ton of space. Overall I think this car exceeded my expectation and it seems like a okay value. I think it is slightly over priced because it is really just a GOLF\Jetta with a really trick top. I think that a loaded car for 34,000 would be more reasonable but I don't have a marketing degree and i am sure VW has done tons of research. I guess only time will tell if the car is a hit or not, come summer should be telling. |

Thanks to houstontxmob and ladyofthelake for all the suggestions..almost there...am gonna sign the purchase order this evening for a black with beige interior with luxury package and dyaudio upgrade for $33700. Here's what happened...they had a little transportation damage while the car was being shipped and the dealer was honets enough to show it to me and said he will get it fixed..its a very little dent on the roof, the size of the thumbnail...and frankly i didnt think it was a big deal. So it made my negotiating power better. with TT &L, coming to $36000. I am excited..will post pictures when i get my hands on that sexy toy. And thanks for reminding about the leak..yeah its a big deal and i have to make sure thats tested too. Prat
