I scored a Tiquan deal thread

[Sharkie]

Finalised my order today. Delivery around 15 August 2009

Drive-away $37500

Tiguan 125kw Manual
Reflex Silver
Comfort Package
Foglights
Alarm
Dealer Fitted mats

+ extras to come
$2K for APR ECU
$2K 18" alloys & tyres
$500 H&R sport springs & fitment
$500 CAI

I suspect I could have done better on a car in stock, but having to order it in means no real urgency by the dealer to deal. Still a good deal I think.

Let me check the discount off list:
Vehicle $37k
Dealer Delivery $1k ("fleet" rate)
Rego $630 (vic)
Stamp duty $1k
Total price $39.5k
So - you achieved $2k discount, or basically the "Fleet" discount rate whiich is not too bad for an ordered vehicle
I'm looking at how far I can go below this figure, as I am looking at a TDI auto which are on the grass atm. Not sure if the Dealership collusion will offer much more than "fleet".
Look out for possible end-of-financial year drive away pricing (ordered and delivered before June 30), the cost of doing this is usually split between the mfr and the dealer, so effectively its a $1500 further rebate.

At the moment all VW dealers are also doing a trade in deal (sponsored by VWA). $1500 more for your trade in until the end of April. So trade value is determinded then $1500 added on top.

Does not help anybody waiting for a car though that will be delivered after end April.

Well done Sharkie!

You're kidding?!!! Is that with a trade-in? Add a sat-nav and auto, lose the alarm and mats and you've managed to come in more than $7k better than what they offered me - thats including my old car too. Great work.

Just stumbled upon this, A4 doesnt use Haldex, nor does the Passat 4Mo. Both use 01R rear diffs as does the A6.

I picked up my Tiggy the other day. Between placing the order and picking up the car, I only had to wait 16 days, so I can't complain. It's a 125TSI Manual, with Off road tech and fog lights in Silver Leaf. I got it so quick because it was on the boat and on its way, so I took the cheapest one I could get.

Like everyone else here, I love it!

Complaints? None really, although have noticed a few rattles (sound like screws lose). I'll be calling the dealer about those when I get back from a work trip.

Some observations: first seems very short and the engine loves to rev right through it. I end up driving quite sedately and changing at low revs in first as the only other option seems to be shoving my passengers' heads back into the head rests.

The car wants to be flung about, but the high centre of gravity (it is a small SUV, after all!) means that any flinging sends your passengers flying. If you've got an other half who likes to complain, best not to have a go when you have company!

Otherwise: wonderful car. Couldn't be happier.

First is designed for off-road work, the diesel auto doesn't even use first in "D" !!

Yes, short 1st is common for all manual 4WD cars with no low range capability. My wife's 4 yr old RAV as well and its best to get moving and shift to 2nd ASAP. It is intended as compromise to provide the ability to crawl over obstacles ..... not nearly as effective as a proper low range, but then the Tig is not intended for that anyway.

and most auto's pull-off in 2nd as a default anyway.

Placed my order today!

Just placed an order and paid a deposit on a Deep Black TDi with comfort pack, off road, fog lights and park assist.

Good value for less than $40k on the road (fleet discount).

Interesting that you suggest that, according to all the auto "petrol" Tig owners I've talked to they start in 1st not 2nd, it's just the diesels that use 2nd. I believe it's an issue of the diesel having so much more torque low down in the rev range.

Not true!
Gerald Slaven in Belconnen are now a VW dealer!
The three guys out there are very friendly and informative...
Phil the Manager, Josh and Mike (I think).

WOOHOO
Finally we don't have to deal with Lennox!

[Pullstarter]

They opened like 3 days after I ordered LOL. My timing is always impeccable like that

Hi Ben - is that auto? If so, then that's outstanding value. I managed $41.5k yesterday for the same package (auto ) minus off road.
BTW What state are you?
