I ordered 140TDI Highline on 1st Sept. They have told me mid to late Nov delivery. Coming from mk7 GTI, I hope I will not be too disappointed with performance. We had a GTD before the GTI and I loved the way that thing powered through the winding mountain roads, so I'm thinking the Tiggy should be ok.
Expecting it to be pretty special, because it was quite expensive.

Ahh, another former GTD owner! In the silliest move I ever made I sold my GTD and switched to an A200CDI. OK, but it sure doesn't drive like the GTD! I'll be moving to a 140TDI Tig at some point next year, and can barely wait!

Nice to have you agree that GTD was special. So disappointing that VW shelved them. I think that torque is far more important than an impressive PS figure at ridiculous revs------400nm sounds good to me. Lock it in 4th and it'll pull like a train between 50 and 120.

The 130TDI Tig drove really well so I'm expecting the 140TDI to be that little bit better again.

Specs on the gen1 130TDI Tig are 130kW/380Nm and 0-100 in 8.5sec. Compared to the specs on the gen2 140TDI Tig with 140kW/400Nm and 0-100 in 7.9sec.

And just for completeness the Mk6 GTD had 125kW/350Nm and 0-100 in 8.1sec. So hopefully the 140TDI Tig should have similar pull. I know when it's coupled to the7 speed DSG it works really well as the short-shifting works really well with the diesel engine.

Got an update from my dealer and they provided me with a screen shot of their NADCON screen. The car is scheduled to be built Week 47 - starting from 21st November.

Did your dealer give you a VIN number?

Not yet, that won't come till later on. Being a week 47 build I expect I won't be able to track the car until the second week of December. What the dealer did give me was a screen shot of what was ordered and a commission number.

From past experience with my GTI it was built week 14 and arrived here in June with an early July pick up.

If anyone is interested in corporate discount, I spoke to my local dealer and they indicated that for Comfortline this is ~$2,600 and for Highline ~$2,800.

They also mentioned that the dealers have been told not to offer any further discounts. So you may find that there's less haggling and more take it or leave it attitude at the dealers - at least until they're chasing sales again.

Interesting, thanks for the intel. How do the packages/options fare with discounting, is there room on them as well?

Ultimately they will do what they need to do, but a lot is riding on this car and I suspect dealers are desperate for the volume, one told me they are going through a low patch with interest in the rest of the VW range.

I actually think if you were just shopping around for Tiguans then they wouldn't look to undercut other dealers, however if you cross-shop them against (say) a CX-5, then they may be a little more keen to secure the sale....

Just a suggestion for anyone looking for a sharper price

I got quoted $55,000 drive away with Corp discount for an R Line fully optioned. I'm starting to think this is either an awesome deal or its BS!

$55k drive away equates to almost an $8k discount, that's a serious discount, really not sure how they could achieve that. Corporate discount wouldn't more than about 2k, the dealer applies for that through VW Australia. Apart from that, dealer delivery is where the would be cutting the fat.
