As such, it shouldn't add much more onto the cost.
Did you have a clause in the contract that stated purchase was at your discression following release of specific pricing?
Build date 2013 sounds right as it usually takes 4 months from build - dealership.

yes I do have an out clause from the purchase, although I would prefer not to go this way. With the slightly higher base price and being burdened with LCT then my budget has blown out by $2500. Looks like I,ll have to re-order less a couple of options. As for the build date of 2013, it makes me feel like I,m taking possession of last years model, regardless of it being a MY14. note(leather seats $3150 less gst plus LCT =$3830).

You buy a car earlier than April and you get last years model, you buy a car earlier than september and you are likely to miss out on the new model year upgrades effective from 1 July build dates.
that is pretty pricey for leather.
The Tiguan leather option is 4k without luxury car tax....
