I scored a Tiquan deal thread

[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.

Yeah my friend who brokered the deal was a friend of a realy close friend of the Dealer priciple at the yard so I asked no questions and accepted the great deal thrown on the table, I did consider the 147 and I did like the chrome trim and the RCD510 but I realy wanted the leather which again would have added an extra $3,700.
I have driven all thee engine setups and the 125 was no slouch down low but not as peaky as the 147 and I also realy wanted to fit some 19" whels so the 17"s would have gone to waste as for the RCD510 I can get a fantastic deal on an RNS510 with the reverse camera doing away with the need for parking sensors but I signed up today so a bit late to change my mind.

I rang VW service and parts for some prices and was quoted $495 a bit cheaper than $695 but I don't expect that to be thrown in, will have to check in on the 3 year servicing though.

Will fit more expensive options myself like the RNS510 fromAuspack with reverse camera

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

To my knowledge, Auspack don't sell the RNS510, it is a look a like and is much cheaper. It has bluetooth already and it works really well, as does the sat nav, but the reversing camera is crap and you will need to buy a better qual one if you want that feature. Do a search for AVC9000, Waywell and you will find more info. There are different brands out there that are very similar.

Cool thanks, I was going on the link below which almost looks identical to the RNS510 except for the card slots at the bottom.

Eitherway they are only acouple of suburbs away so I acn check it out and make an eductaed opinion.

Originaly I was only after the RCD510 with the park display which would need the $700 dollar rear sensor upgrade(from what Iunderstand) do you need these rear bumber sensors for a RNS510 if you have a quality reversing camera? Just trying to work out the correct and necessary parts to make either retrofit work properly.

Edit: just did a search and a $!t@d of info came up, looks like I will be reading for weeks throgh all the threads.
