How much did you pay for your Tiguan?

[ian]

I was quoted only $18,000 for a trade on a 2014/2015 130 diesel Tiguan with just 18,000km on the clock a lot more than 40% more like 60% could be the diesel Gate scandal that is placed a lower value on this model ?

That’s a ridiculous value for your car but to be expected from these dealers.

Signed for a white wolfie pick up in a couple weeks. 59k with quite a few extras thrown in. Not sure this is the right place to ask; people doing finance with Volkswagen, is it worthwhile doing the Volkswagen future value scheme whereby your interest rate is upped a bit (.31%) in my case a year. So after 4 years i can return it to VW for about 27k? In people's opinions does that sound about right from 59k? seemed a little low to me.

We did the choice program, intent is to assess at the end of 4 years finance if the market is higher than the Guaranteed Future Value then we may sell privately and use windfall to a new Tig, if lower than we may roll remainder into the mortgage and keep the car or if much less we will take out GFV and redo another car.

You need to do your numbers and make it work for you though, this system is not a lease from VW though and is a standard loan with a balloon after 4 years.. if you can't afford to pay out the balloon in 4 years then either expect to hand he car back or don't get it in the first place.

Appreciate the advice people. Seems i am best off going elsewhere with a loan as Volkswagen Finance cannot match or come close to the interest rates being offered by other vendors. Surprised they wouldn't even match them to get the business.

I used VFS to save shifting some funds around and they were under the dodgy no-names; I think it just depends on whether they're keen to write the business and also the car/client profile.

The dodgy no-names usually have stiff establishment and early termination costs built in.

just using an online loans company (unsure if you can name company names here) that is 5.44% (400 estab fee, no other fees). VW quoting 7.29% with 945 estab fee. Challenged this rate and told best they could do was 6.1%. Fairly appalling tbh.

Strange.. but like with the cars themselves, there's a number of factors including timing that can come into play there.

I know they won't lop much more than half of the fee usually, as that is their main upfront cut for writing the loan, but car finance should still be well into the 4s. As a rough guide aim for around 100 points over a good home loan rate.

Anyway, you can only get what you can get, so certainly run your business elsewhere.

I recently purchased a Grey Wolfsburg edition 18 model (MY19) paid 59k which included a tow bar. Super happy with it but even more happy now that I have got the Stage 1 APR flash tune. Wow is all I can really say! Best $1000 I’ve ever spent and the car seriously hooks up. 👍

Went to have a look at the Wolfsburg and decided that it was not for me, the Grey possibly and the HUD was a projected bit of plastic rather than on the windscreen, not sure why maybe angle or curvature? Bought the 162Rline with all three options plus paint for $59k driveaway in Perth.

[iampivot]

Been quoted 50K for an allspace 132tsi comfortline with all the packages and black paint or 48k without the sound and vision package incl 5 years free servicing. Both demo models with about 1500 kms on them. There's apparently also a 2% offer available from VFS for the allspace runout. Am thinking there might a bit more room to squeeze a bit on the price? This is in QLD.

Yeah got told VW finance have a new deal on. 1.99% and 2.99%. Best check with individual dealers.

Wow that’s a good deal. I bet there’s conditions (eg residual values etc)?

I ended up going straight up so ignoring the VW future finance and went with a 2.99% plan. Also note, no establishment fee. Waiting on confirmation which i should hear back today or tomorrow.

Often these deals are built into the margins on the cars. They are effectively a VW discount on the car. Though in real terms it's probably not costing them that much as that's probably pretty close to what they are paying for the finance anyway.

With Finance the dealers wont give you much discount , But with cash you can dictate the price on what others have paid .
