VW EOS

[Fuma]

Give some brandnames please

I just can't help to ask this question, if that EOS wasn't a convertible car and a sun roof, do you think it would be worth R270K?
I'm just a financially cautious person I guess. It makes me go grrrrr when a person spends that much on a car - a VW on top of that.

Lol thats kind of a dumb question.
270k is not a bad price at all these days, the MK5 Gti is 280k base price.
If it wasnt a convertible it wouldnt exist.

Are you from JHB? I doubt it, coz every second car on the road is worth over 250k.

You are clearly not from JHB either A new Focus ST hardly hits R250 000 and most cars are like around the R100 000...

Thanks for exagerating and thus enabling me to add to my post count.

Lol I dont see alot of Sts on the road, I dont go to PTA often!

100K? Doubt it.
New Merc and BMs are all over 300k
MK5GTi all over 250k
Almost every decent SUV is over 250k
Jags over 250k
Honda accords, Mazda 6, Jetta, etc withing the 250k mark.

So apart from some of the hatch backs on the road most cars are over 250k.

Your talking k@k

Look outside now and check the cars on the road, Citigolfs, Tazz's, Dolphine shape BMW's, Bakkies older Mercs. Dono which part of Gautneg you stay in.... Houghton ?

I would say the average price range for cars = R 100k - R 150k

Most new cars are about 200 upwards eg Jetta about 230k. A3 about same. So price of EOS is close to this bracket.

Still don't know where you drive or maybe you only see what you want to see. Most of the cars I see on the highway are Corsas (Utilities too), Citis, Tracers, Bantams, 323s, Polos, Fiestas, Honda Balades, Hyundai Atos and Getz and similar

You are clearly a rich boy - which I understand.
So just because every 2nd car is worth over R250k means you have to buy it as well?
I just bought a second hand RunX 1.8 for R120K few months back. I could have bought that GTI, but eat potatoes everyday. No.
Do you own any property? I personally find it financially dumb to be driving a R300K car while renting.
With this current financial crisis, I'd like to save that extra R5k every month.

That's just me anyway.

As previously stated house paid for, all cars paid for, no other debt. Good income. Car would be purchased for cash.

My observations:

Merc - 4 C, 1 CLS, 1 S
Mini - 2 S models
Volvo - 2
SUV (Audis, Nissan, ML, X5 etc) - 16

Used car buying guide: Volkswagen Eos

A cut above your average used coupé-convertible in looks and quality, the Eos even has a sunroof within its folding hard-top

The Volkswagen Eos is a member of that select group of hatchback-derived coupé-cabriolets that graced the noughties and included the Ford Focus, Vauxhall Astra, Peugeot 308 and Renault Mégane. Of them all, though, the Eos was the poshest, a status reflected in its higher price.

Fortunately, since production ceased in 2014, its prices have fallen to the extent that you can pick one up for around £700, although at that level you want to be sure the model’s temperamental roof works. Prices peak at around £14,000 for a 2014- reg 2.0 TDI with 20,000 miles. That seems a lot for a car that is based on the old Golf Mk5 and went out of production 10 years ago, so we’d settle for something in between, such as a facelifted, 2011-reg 1.4 TSI for around £7500.

The Eos was launched in 2006 and lauded for its spacious 2+2 cabin, roomy boot (at least until the folded roof occupied most of it) and good handling. However, the highest praise was reserved for its stiff bodyshell and a metal folding roof that incorporates a sliding sunroof.

Buyers were never short of engines to choose from. From launch to that 2011 facelift mentioned earlier, there was a 113bhp 1.6 FSI (underpowered for the heavy Eos), a 147bhp 2.0 FSI, a 197bhp 2.0T-FSI (one of the best and in Sport trim only) and a 3.2 V6 producing 247bhp that makes a good, relaxed cruiser.

Note the emphasis on petrol engines there. The lone diesel was a 138bhp 2.0 TDI. The thing is, if you want a good selection of petrols to choose from, a pre-facelift Eos is where to look because the diesel didn’t really catch on.

By the way why is this classified as a "hairdresser car"?
