I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

I have not received any gift from VW as yet. Could it be because I got a fleet discount???

Hey guys. Got notified yesterday my car arrived but there was a mix up and its the TDI R-Line. THis is what I originally ordered but a few weeks later changed to TSI and for whatever reason it never got changed at the factory.

The dealer is extremely embarrassed and apologetic and has offered me the TDI at the TSI price with some extras that I'm trying to negotiate. I got the TSI R-Line for $55.5k DA with DAP and Tint and asking for paint and interior protection, luggage tray and some free servicing.

I have driven it and its a beautiful car, the TDI pulls nice but as anyone who drove a diesel knows it kind of flattens out, nonetheless its smooth to drive so I'm leaning towards taking it or wait another 4 months for the TSI. I've has a Golf diesel before so I'm familiar with how they drive. I don't do a lot of highway kms, just maybe on the weekends to go up or down the coast.

I want to know what others think. Should I take it? And should i be asking for more extra for the cock up?

After much thinking and internal struggle with the 2 options, I have decided to go with the TDI. I drove both engine variants one after the other today and could not pick a clear winner. Both I feel have good power and driveability but deliver it in different ways. I felt that at the end of the day I love the overall package more and the engine wasnt as import to me. I like the fact the TDI will save me money at the pump and I like my car to be economical whilst being able to get up and go when i hit the pedal. I also felt that after 6 months waiting I couldn't wait until July for the petrol.

So those were the contributing factors. I just hope I made the right choice and don't live to regret it

Perhaps - I didn't get one, and I got a fleet discount.

I think your circumstances were different to most. You've probably made the right decision, and the sensible side of you will always be happy that you're saving at the pump

Maybe it's the dealer that decides who gets these marketing promos??

From what I understand, the thank you card & gift(s), as well as the order update/status emails are direct VWG Aus contact.

I got an email from my dealership in December saying that all highlines have been delayed till May. A month later the car has been built and on a boat on the way to Melbourne. Wait a month and see what happens. You can also request a NADCON printout from them to see the dates. Mind you my dealership also told me that the dates do bounce around a bit in the NADCON system .
