Sunroof or Park Assist

[DJY]

Couldn't agree more Tigga1!

Every one that has been seeing my Tiguan comments on the huge sunroof!
Is great!
Haven't had my dog in it yet - but I'm hoping he appreciates it too!

OK , I have both and I must say the park assist is a must.

If you bingle the car once , you have paid for it in repairs.

The sunroof does make the car more of a SUV fun vehicle, but I dare say in summer the heat from the glass may change my mind, but at least I can open it to let the heat out.

Conclusion: A hard decision, but really glad I have both. My regret is Dynaudio but then to fully option the car is so so much $$$$. I decided to keep the saved cash and upgrade to a next generation Tiguan in a few years whenver it is released, hopefully with a 125KW TDI. I got everything but SatNav, Dynaudio , Xenon lights and off road but settled as no wait and it was a fresh car only 3 weeks since landed and delivered 20 May 2009.

The 18inch wheels I got just look so good, the 16inch are a little plain but I like the 17inch on the 125KW TSI, probably give the best balance of ride/handling. The 18inch are a firm ride.

The Fog lights just finish the looks off as blanking plates look crap IMHO if they are not optioned.

Apparently the supply of Tigs is improving so you may not wait the 4 mths, but then if you want both the time will pass. Get a good dealer to hunt a model down as I found some dealers can wrangle stock off VW Aust, possibly earmarked for their executives as a sale is better than a cushy exec freeloading a car for 10 mths. I believe my car was possibly destined for some VW exec fleet.

Hand over / delivery was today...
Here is a photo of my new 147TSI Tiguan just after the big unveil... just before I drove it away!

Hello DJY, please share your driveaway price, if you care to.

Great to hear about the car, looks swish

I didn't try and haggle the price on the Tiguan...
as I was aware that there weren't many around...
but instead (which ended up with the same or probably better result)...

I haggled on the trade in price of my car.
I was trading in an Alfa 147 - so I only ever talked about the "changeover price". I managed to get the value of my car increased three times, and then even got them to knock a small amount only ($800) off either the delivery delivery / price of the actual Tiguan.

When I compare the original change over offer - to the one that I ended up accepting the difference I saved was $4500 I think!!!!

I'm sure alot of that actually came off the dealer delivery / and price they had the Tiguan listed at - but either way I was very happy!

The other dealer I was negotiating with - started with an even lower trade in price on my car - and didn't budge much at all.
