A relative newbie could use your help! by papalo

A couple of questions...we're seriously looking at an Eos, but we're not the best at negotiating and don't know what would constitute a "good deal". One dealership has quoted me an "Internet Price" of $34,745 for the following: 2.0T, Island Grey w/ Cornsilk Beige interior, Luxury Package, Dynaudio upgrade, Park Distance Control. This is not one that is on the lot; this is one the dealer would have to get from another dealer somewhere. That seems like a good deal to me, but I don't know. Thoughts/Opinions/Suggestions?
 
On another note, has anyone here had any dealing(s) with any NM Volkswagen dealership(s)? (The quote above came from Premier Motorcars in Santa Fe.)
 
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a reasonable deal to me. Lots of people here paid a little over invoice or close to MSRP on this car, sounds like a good deal to me.

I got the same features (except the parking distance control) for 33,500. I've been told this was a screamingly good deal, so not sure if you can duplicate it.

Papalo,
 
That is a _very_ good price. It must have been delivered to the dealer before 1/5, when the invoice price went up $446 for the 2.0T DSG.
 
I have the exact configuration, different colors, built 12/5, ordered 12/15 (lucky me, they were able to reroute it my dealer before it hit port), purchased 1/31. With regional fees of ~$437 (not shown on Edmunds invoice prices), you are about $500 over invoice. If you want an EOS, jump quick. Come springtime, these sort of deals will almost certainly not be available.

Greetings from Louisville, Kentucky:
I just bought an Eos on Wednesday (Happy Valentine's Day to ME!!!!!) with automatic trans, $550 sound system upgrade and $199 IPOD for $30,680 plus tax, license etc.
 
I did buy one that they had on the lot, rather than get one in a different color that was not in-stock. I really didn't want/need the IPOD, but thought the deal seemed like a good one. Who knows, maybe I can add an IPOD to my holiday list...
 
I'd love to know what others think about the price I got. Be honest, if I didn't do so great on price, I still love the car (after two whole days).

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.
