just wondered what you all managed to get out of v.w for free when buying your eos. we got 4 eos baseball caps and eos pen and a full tank of petrol

You were lucky, all I got was a free coffee whilst waiting. Even the tank only was quarter full.
:(

Managed to get the model version of the Eos and the VW golfing umbrella - oh and the obligatory coffee.

When we went in to order our Eos, there were only a few options available other than Basic, Sport and Luxury, 2.0t and 3.2. We laid out what we wanted and the dealership did a search and found they had just the model we wanted, located in Houston, Tx. Only differance was the car in Houston had 18" wheels and that raised the price about $400. I told them I wasn't interested in 18'' wheels and to order the car I wanted. They asked if I would take the car if the threw the wheels in for free. The wheels and a $400 "Costco" discount and we were done. Steve

Hell, you were lucky. My tank must have had a spoonful in. At least they didn't charge the usual obligatory "£50 for petrol"!

I'm going to pick mine up tonight, sign all the paperwork and do the Walk Around. I'll see what I can get out of my salesman! :-D

I got a hat

a VW stress ball

coffee - of course

tank of gas

and a pain in the rear salesman.

also got a vwclub membership and catalog as well as a 4 year VW magazine membership.

oh, and I don't know about the UK, but here they always put an emblem of some sort on the trunk adverstising the dealer you bought the car from. If they don't pay me to advertise... off it goes! Yes, it is gone, free of charge - as it should be.

I got invisible plastic strip installed across front hood to prevent stone chip damage, winter heavy rubber floor mats, 2 insulated VW coffee mugs, VW baseball cap, full tank of gas, and a large discount on my wind deflector which I subsequently bought. Dealer also agreed to provide an EOS as "hole in one" prize for charity event I organized. In return I have taken the two dealership owners golfing, and have several times talked to prospective purchasers. Have extremely good relationship with my dealer .. it helps! Fourth new car I have bought from them!

Thanks ..... really get along with the dealer so turns out well for both of us.

good for you, fred... it would appear you are the winner!

Picked "Tyson" up a week ago in Sydney and we were told we were lucky to get a half tank of petrol! Oh, I also ask for and got the Eos sales brochure.....

We picked up Black Beauty Apr 13, same as you gbulldogs, half a tank, a brochure and 2 coffees....I tried though...I was told there was no merchandise....yeah right....oh, I did negotiate scuff plates when I ordered (which were thought to be chrome but ended up being clear strips) which were otherwise $265....But, as we all know.....the Eos is worth every penny, freebies or no freebies......

Wind deflector, aluminium decoration interior, sport aluminium pedals and car tax paid for 2006 (not strange, as i got the car on December 21 2006).

1/4 tank of diesel, rear mudflaps and paint & carpet treatment. I did manage to get a 12% discount though, so I'm not complaining. I only had to wait 9 weeks for the exact spec I wanted.
Oh and they gave me a free dealer sticker on the boot lid - which is coming off.

12% DISCOUNT!!!!! I'd take that over all the "freebies" you can imagine! Well done!

I got mint cookies, a key chain, and a tank of gas.

You beat my thimble-ful of fuel and a handshake! Or was he just reaching for the cheque?

No, he was just checking to make sure you hadn't picked his pocket! Cheers!
