This 2008 original-owner VW Eos is in very good condition with a rare 6-speed manual transmission. The factory radio has been swapped for an OEM-look 8-inch Android-based stereo (see video demo below for details). The original radio has been saved for anyone that might wish to return it to its “as delivered” condition.
The cream (VW calls it cornsilk beige) colored V-Tex interior remains in very good condition. This Eos also features the optional 17-inch factory wheels, which were a dealer installed option.
The body, lights and lenses, tires, engine, transmission, clutch, A/C, cruise control and all other mechanicals are in excellent condition. The car has never been in an accident or abused.
The top does not leak and the seals remain in very good condition.
The videos and photos in this listing were shot on April 17, 2016.
This Florida Eos remains a joy to drive and still garners lots of looks.
Average fuel economy (for my driving style) ranges from 25 mpg around town to 30 mpg on road trips. The current average over the past 1,700 miles is 28.2 mpg, according to the VW driver information center readout.
Flaws, blemishes:
The trunk release works perfectly with the key fob but does sometimes relock when using the interior switch.
While this Eos has been garaged, it has also been a daily driver for good part of its life so there are a few chips and scratches in the paint. There are also a few chips in the wheels. See the photos.
If you have any questions or wish me to provide additional photographs or video of something specific, please ask.
Personal inspections and a test drive before bidding are welcomed. Service records are also available for inspection.
If someone from outside of Jacksonville, Fla. purchases this Eos, transport will be the buyer’s responsibility.
