Hi all,
Well, I thought it best to join the forum after lurking in its pages over the last 5 weeks. I will use this post as a small intro into me and a bit of history as to how I ended up on the forum…
I was making fun of DH recently, because he had ordered his MKVI GTI 7 months ago, and I claimed I would never wait that long for a car. I insisted that if I was to buy a new car, I would want it within a week. Now, about 5 weeks ago he tried to convince me that I needed a Tiguan 147.
So, making the biggest mistake of all, I allowed him to take me to a dealer to touch, feel, looksee and ‘sit’ in one. Trying my best too not fall into ‘the trap’ I kept grabbing at what I felt where strong ropes to get me out of this sinkhole I felt I was getting sucked into. (the sinkhole I feel was being convinced to buy a VW and wait for months for a car)
I would not buy a car that I had to wait months for!!
I tried to argue that the Mazda CX7 and Nissan Dualis were just as good…all the points I brought up were shot down…these strong ‘get me out of this sinkhole’ ropes were turning into flimsy strings….I was sinking…I was being consumed…no!!! Don’t convince me to buy a car and have to wait months for it….Nnnnooooooo.
The last drawcard I had, was boot size. Boot is too small. That is what I found myself repeating to the sales rep and DH.
DH then stated: you’ll have roof racks and you don’t need a big boot size.
Me: Don’t care. Boot too small.
DH: The boot in the Dualis is smaller sweetie…
Me: …
DH: what colour do you want?
Me: I don’t wanna… ok …fine. Black or Blue or Silver.
So, you see, I was out numbered, conned and pushed into buying a car that I have found myself getting slightly excited about. (don’t tell DH…I still claim to him it’s only a car that’s gonna cost me money. Lol, if he read this and saw I was actually happy about it…imagine all the ‘I told you so’s I’d have to endure!!
)
In all honesty, I think VW make fantastic cars, and am stoked that Hubby finally replaced his 11yr old Nissan Pulsar with a MKVI GTI (he picked it up today, 50km’s in and he is already moding it!!)
So, is this the part where I raise my hand and admit that I too have fallen for the overall great looking/driving VW and joined the que?
Geez, it’s gonna be a long wait… best to fill in the time looking for what mods I can find for DH to do to my Igy for me…
(ps: VW Tiguan 147TSI Black
