I scored a Tiquan deal thread

[freddy]

I've had enough of VW dealers and their unwillingness to deal. On my first request for a quote on an Audi Q5 the dealer knocked >10% off straight away on a couple of different vehicles (and that's with a vehicle that can be as difficult to source with the right mix of engines & features as a Tiguan, and no nonsense about trying to charge top dollar for a 2008 built vehicle). If I can find one with the options I want it looks like I'll be staying in the VW Australia Group fold but changing brands. Dealers better start playing ball, as I suspect a few more with a bit of flexibility in the budget will soon be switching to Audi.

Could be a different ship, I think there's another due at the same time or very close to it.

My Tiguan is due into Pt Kembla on 11 May. Sounds like they've got quite a few shipments coming in at the moment.

My nephew has a view of the Port from his back verandah, I'll get him to keep a look out

Yeah my car has come in about a month earlier than expected also. We got a pretty good deal I think on our 125tsi but dont want to disclose too much until its all done and dusted just in case. But we got a

125tsi
auto
comfort pack
offroad tech
sunroof
foglights
dealer window tint
floormats + bootmat

I expect the car to be on the road with RS4 19s and chipped for a reasonable amount under 45k in about 2 weeks

For me it wasnt worth going to the 147 as I would bin the alloys and chip it regardless and anyways its the wifes car!

May 5 in Pt Kembla

How you holding up mate?
Is this the longest "week or two" of your life?

checked up on my Tig yesterday.

Shipped from Bremen on the 16th of May ....

Due in Brisbane on the 29th of June .....

Dealer expects delivery to happen late July .....

Its at least a month early ...

I'm adding dealer fitted rear sensors for $700 and getting a RCD510 swapped in ......

BTW, Austral VW sold 47 Tigs last month ........ 25% of their total sales for the month .... apparently the advertised "New" Tiguan has customers flooding them ..... waiting list is now out to 6 months on a ordered in Tig.

Awesome. Now the clock slows down for you!

I'm adding dealer fitted rear sensors for $700 and getting a RCD510 swopped in ......

Would you mind letting me know how much that's costing you (to get the RNS510 swapped in that is)?

Mine was one of those!!!! I got my folks to go test drive the Tig up in Brissie for me and they said the sales person they dealt with commented on how popular the Tig was... it was basically the only vehicle her particular dealership was managing to move.

With a 6 month waiting list I'm glad I compromised on my requirements and got one already in the country! Not sure I could have stood waiting that long!

Sounds like my 2 month wait wasn't so bad then?

I've been waiting around 6 weeks. Managed to snag a car that was already on the boat and unallocated. Wasn't really after Park Assist and no cars available with only the options I wanted. Happy to pay the extra for Park Assist rather than wait 5 or so months, plus Park Assist should be a good gimmick to impress friends!

It'll be dark when I pick it up, so probably won't be able to grab any pics tonight, but will see what I can organise.

Nice!
Can't wait to hear how your installation goes!!!!
I'd love to upgrade my RCD510 to RNS510!!!!

I would have loved Park Assist - but had the reverse situation to you - I could walk out with a car - that had everything - except park assist.
I really only wanted front and rear sensors - so I'm still hoping I can get a retro fit of front sensors in the future.

How much is the dealer charging for the RCD 310 to RCD 510 upgrade? Interested in upgrading mine as Dynaudio wasn't in any Tiguans around when I bought mine. At least I have one now and no wait 6mths is a killer. I bet VW push the margins out to make the most of sales.

It's $3500 for the RCD510 including Dynaudio

[High-Fidelity]

The change to the RNS510 is an anti climax I'm afraid. It's insanely easy and took a whole 10 min. Very simple and the results are great. Loaded the maps and it just worked. Will play with VAGCOM tomorrow to see what settings I can change.

They will use a RCD510 from a 147TSI who the owner upgraded to a RNS510 at the dealer. So I'm getting a RCD510 nobody wants for almost nothing ...... price yet to be determined but expected to be only a few hundred $$$ if even that.
