Used Car of the Day: 2007 Volkswagen Eos

by Tim Healey

Published: September 10th, 2024

I don't how rare a manual-transmission Volkswagen Eos is, but I imagine they aren't super common. This 2007 Volkswagen Eos shows that they do exist, at least.

If stick-shift, drop-top motoring on the cheap is your thing, this car might be worth a look.

There's both good and bad here. The good appears to be working A/C, heat, and seat heaters. No accidents or leaks, as well. The bad appears to be a transmission that occasionally refuses to go into first as well as, if I am seeing one of the pics correctly, flaking paint.

The mileage is almost 180K and the price is $1,650. You can find this in Florida. Click here for more.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I drove a 2012 Eos Executive for 5 years (bought in 2017 at 78k) and ran until 112k, at which time I handed it down to my youngest son. They are fun rides, and the 2.0 TSi has enough zip to make it useful. The top mechanism has been flawless, as long as it gets an annual lubrication and alignment. The ones with the DSG are reliable, again as long as maintenance is performed. They were way overpriced as new and depreciated rapidly, but seemed to have bottomed out. My example still has a book value of $6500~$7000.

MaintenanceCosts Our entire local USPS fleet appears to be ProMasters. We’ll probably be last to get these things.
Queen i realize I have to apologize to Matt Posky here…I started skimming the last few paragraphs because his writing is absolutely insufferable…I did read enough to see that this is a “technology licensing agreement”, and that the cells themselves are being provided by the Japanese company, not CATL. Posky’s innuendo makes it sound as though they may as well be peeling Chinese labels off the cells in favor of Japanese ones….but that’s not what a licensing agreement means.can someone who tolerates Posky’s writing better than me please clarify? Much appreciated!
ToolGuy One of those new federally-funded chargers is down the road from me and features 100% fusion energy and there were two of the new mail trucks charging there today along with two Cybertrucks (and an ICE VW with 400,000 miles on the odometer). Also a unicorn and two dragons talking with a leprechaun.
