Hi everybody...I'm Steve from New Jersey. Currently driving a 2001 Sebring Convertible with 190k miles on it, and soon (hopefully, before the next repair) I'll be the proud owner an Eos. Almost bought one today!

At $33k, though, it's a bit out of reach for me; and a used one is hard to find--and, well, used! Today a VW salesman pitched the idea of leasing, but I drive 25,000 miles a year, where most people say leasing is a bad option. But this guy says leasing actually is best for high-mileage drivers, who depreciate their cars the most, and can turn them in scott-free at the end of the term.

I'm not totally convinced leasing doesn't end up more expensive in the long run (and I do hope to have a long run with this car) but it may be the only way I can get into an Eos now.

I'm hoping someone/anyone here can offer me information, opinions, advice, encouragement. And hoping that before very long, I can really be a card-carrying member of this club!

Glad to be here,

Steve

There are several used ones on Ebay....I've seen some from NJ dealerships. My dealership here in the Richmond, VA area recently had two 2007 models equipped like Komfort models for $24k. I think if you look around and esp if you're willing to travel a smidge, you should find what you're looking for. Buy soon, though b/c once the weather really gets nice in NJ there will be no deals and any good Eos'es will be gone quickly. In my opinion, that car is worth every penny!

Good luck!
