I scored a Tiquan deal thread

[DJY]

Thanks for the comments on my Sunroof question.
I did do a test drive and it is fantastic.

From what everyone is saying, I am pretty sure that it is a very good option to have.
If it is too hot, I might tint it.

The sales reps in bne did mention that the maximum disc they can give is $3.5k off the RRP. M still negotiating.

It already has tinting...
yesterday driving out in the country was a 'brighter' day (sure still winter sun though) and no glare at all. Comes with full UV protection as well I was told.

If you ask around you will find that no one is willing to tint the sunroof. Reason being is that the tint may cause the sunroof to crack. Not sure why but that's what a couple of tinting places have said. This also includes the salesguy from Volkswagen.
But the sunroof comes already tinted blocking out 99.9% of UV.

I've heard of people getting "extra" tint" on the sunroof in NA (check out Vortex) so I'm certain it's possible if anybody really wants to go down that route.

I used a carbroker and they were able to do much better than I was in the dealer. Actually, I picked up the broker's details from this forum.

I'd rather wait to get the car I want.

Also, MY10 models began production in May, so my order will have the minor MY10 upgrades.

What to your knowledge are the MY10 upgrades? Seems some MY09 upgrades are more downgrades such as deleting the chrome baggage hooks in the boot. I would guess late 2010 would see a update to the Tiguan range, possibly a 125KW TDI. Either way I took the plunge and totally happy rather than get a MY08 12 mths old fully optioned ex VW Aust Tiguan. I noticed this model had a recall mod indicated by a sticker on the drivers side A pillar.

Just a heads up for people who are looking at getting a tig with a sunroof.
Please read this thread on Vortex:

http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4434852

We had one in our landcruiser was just problem after problem.
(sunroof dropped inside its mounts, tracks clogged up with dust and sunroof wouldn't open, sunroof is unuesabel if it is dirty/wet/raining, metal warping due to the heat in QLD)
It seems now people are starting to realise that they may look nice but are very problematic.


Hopefully this can help a few people who are still deciding on Tig options.

I have decided to bite the bullet and wait for a MY10 delivery so I get the features I want instaid of scouring the yards around Melbourne for a Tiguan ready to go and trying to score on a deal on what's available.
If ordering from scratch which dealer in Melbourne is likely to give the best deal given that this is not current stock to leverage on?

As a matter of interest I am after a black 125 with only the beige leather and possibly comfort pack and offroad upgrades seeingas wheeels an radio/satnav I can easily handle myself.

All the dealers can view current VW stocks across the country, and either in the VW Australia orders on route, as well as other dealers. Might be worth checking out as several dealers regularly swap vehicles!

You wouldn't have to wait for months then!
Congratulations on deciding you want a Tiguan though!

I have rang a couple of dealers and they have looked up some of the list but not many of the beige leather interiors left for 125s. I would rather go in to a dealership and work out a comparamise from the list if not which one will gbe the most flexible on price?

Sensational! Nice choice

Another one to bite the bullet, just had a car dealer friend broker me a deal for a Black 125TSi with Beige leather, Comfort Pack, Off-road Technology,Front fog lights with mats thrown in (couldn't sway them for tinting) drive away for $43,000.

Will fit more expensive options myself like the RNS510 fromAuspack with reverse camera and get some 19" Apec S-line wheels with 255/40 tyres.

Unfotunately I will have to wait the designated 4 months next week delivery would have been nice though

Anyone know how much the bluetooth feature costs, might try to squeeze that in the deal, don't sign till Friday?

Hi cubes

Sounds like you got the VW Corporate Plus pricing. If you are planning on getting the fog lights, leather and comfort pack, I would suggest spending an extra $3K or so and upgrade to the 147. The 147 gets a few nice extras eg more powerful, 17" wheels, RCD 510, rear sensors, rear tinting, chrome trim, tyre pressure indicator, extra interior lighting, sunglass holder etc. Will also get better resale.

I doubt they will throw in bluetooth (its a $695 option). I would push them to include 3yr VW servicing.
