Wanted Individual but not possible
I tried to get an Individual since I thought it seemed better value than speccing up the 2.0TFsi to a similar spec. I was told that the Individual was limited to a small number of cars and would be impossible to get hold of.
My 2.0 TFSi arrived and the dealer in Shropshire last Monday and I will hopefully have it on the road on 1st September.
Did you order your Individual or was it a dealer stock model?
Hope you enjoy it.

I wanted a Black EOS with Red leather. Six weeks ago I went for a test drive of a 2.0T FSi. They could not easily get one for me by September because of the waiting list and asked me if I was interested in the individual. They had two and one was already sold. Subsequently they would have sold my one many times over. The spec was what I wanted but did not have SAT NAV. Not a big deal as I have a Tom Tom 910 for the Wife. The individuals are limited to 500 and to put things into perspective. When I ordered my R32 (MK IV) I managed to get the last out of 8 and now with the EOS individual I managed to get the last one from the dealer. I was also pleased to hear that the individual team also do the styling for the R models so I should be right at home there.
Oh well I have the registration number and the car is being PDI'd for the 1st of September.

Interesting as we are not ready to order until Oct, the dealer is happy that the car will still be available and also quote a run of 1500 units. Questions need to be asked.

We intend to order an Individual in Oct for an 08 delivery. The Individual looks fantastic in black with the two tone nappa leather. And as a bonus the car specced the way we wont it, is cheaper that the sport specced to the same degree.

Hello,
First post for me after finding the forum yesterday.
I am also picking up an individual on September 1st - 10.30am - or just 180hours away!!
I understood the run was limited to 500 UK models. The VW website is stating the car is only available from stock, and not to order.

I was told by the dealer that they had 2 allocated to them and that they specified one as a TFSI and one as a TDI. Acording to the dealer they would not release their allocation to other dealers as it would be easy for them to sell. In fact they could have sold mine several times over already.
They also said that the residuals would be very good. Possibly only loosing 3K in the first year if the car was traded in.

Hi Jimmy,
Unless as in Kevin's case, the dealer has pre-ordered the car this will be correct however, dealers that haven't pre-ordered the car can spec as desired. The options available are in the standard price list. I have been to the dealer and specced the car the way we would want it, and this was no problem.
Anyway, that aside. Welcome to the site and enjoy the new car, not forgetting to post pics.

Just been to the dealer today to sign some documents to get the car taxed and show insurance. Saw my new EOS individual there and am now looking forward to next Saturday even more. Just hope the weather will be like today (HOT) so I can make the best of having the roof down

Hi Don,
I'm sure you are right. However, when the individual was announced my local dealer knew nothing. I persuaded the people at VW UK to send me all they had on the car (Can't work out how to attach a copy - the file is too big)
This sugests that the model will only be produced for a few weeks (27 to 37) (However it also suggests full electric seats, which was wrong). I think week 37 is very close - so if someone is intent on a version they need to move quickly.

Since reading this thread I have been on the VW site and noticed that it states that the Individual is not available as a factory option. Unless I can spec the way I want, this isn’t the car for me after all. That said, I have been offered a £1800 discount on a Sports model. I may consider taking off the leather option and using the money saved to get a custom leather interior similar to the Individual.

I have a brochure I picked up at my VW dealer for "The Eos Individual".
It makes no mention anywhere in it that this is a Limited Edition or that it will only be available in certain numbers for a specific period.
Although there is no list of options it does mention the "Optional iPod preparation" and the "Optional Dynaudio Soundpack". It also says "If you should choose, and optional DVD navigation/radio system with 6.5 inch colour screen will not only guide you to your destination" etc etc.
Are people being fed bullsh*t by their Dealers?
The Eos Individual has been available to order in Germany for over a year now and it seems to me it has spread abroad.
It does say on the Price List that the "Eos Individual is a limited edition vehicle and is only available while stocks last" but I'm not sure I entirely believe that.. It's probably limited only by the number they can sell..!
