How much should I pay... Tiguan pricing.

[jands]

TSI155 MY13
Metallic Red
ACC
Xenon
Matt
Roof Xbar

$50k

Am I paying too much?

[Nevermind]

Got another email today. I might reply and let them know I'm still interested.
If I don't hear anything back then will probably offer the extra money but with the tints/mats/mud flaps/boot tub/ and a ready deposit.

I got an email from the dealer this morning, looks like they are waiting for me to come back with another offer for the car. Decisions decisions.

You can pretty much ask for what you want now that the dealer has got back to you first. I would bundle in tints, mats and mud flaps for $43k and then sit firm. Cost price for the bits is around $500 which would meet your original offer and the dealer half way.

Yes and wave your visa card under their nose to take a deposit. I'd be very surprised if they didn't take it.

White cars with dark tint always look good.

If you don't want the bits you could try offering $42.5k but I think you're more likely to get it over the line by adding a couple of lower value options (that you would have put on anyway).

[Nevermind]

What else is thrown in? Actually 43k isn't bad depending on what else in in. e.g. tinting, floor mats, mudguards, and those for the boot too. They all add up. I think tints are like $700.

We only have the boot liner in as an accessory. I wasn't too concern with those as I could get them later and thought that might help get the car through at $42k. I wonder if its worth going back and asking for all that at $43k.

Yup, I pretty much said the Bi-xenons were a 2k option. Factory slightly cheaper, I know VW quotes 2k as option and 2.5k if u do it later?

All the cars I've ever owned are white. And Candy white doesn't cost extra. I like to start with a clean white slate.

It all depends who is fitting it. if your doing it your self then it comes out at least $500 cheaper, if you get some one else to do it then it could be more expensive.

Go there with your checkbook or cash for deposit. $1k will do (or $500). I dunno about your dealer, but mine reacted straightaway.
Tell him you'll meet him halfway .. checkbook all ready to plonk down, etc. bird in the hand better than one in a factory in germany waiting the order to assemble. If someone else sells that tig at the dock, he loses out.

ps. not another candy white tiguan on the road...they are like so generic and boring jk.

Haha yeah, but I really like the VW Candy White. I also don't like my cars to stand out a lot.

I would prefer to not have to fit anything myself. I got an email from the dealer this morning, looks like they are waiting for me to come back with another offer for the car. Decisions decisions.

just to give you a idea of retro fitting those parts. the RNS510 LED version will set you back around $1kAUD (easy to code your self and install). the bi-xenon is a different beast, if you want the AFS with headlight jet installed your looking to spend around $1400 just on parts. i got my headlight parts with AFS kit for around $1100AUD. at this stage the labor cost if you get some one to do it for you will prob cost around $800+. i would buy the bi-xenons factory if they had it.

If you want to do the illegal way of not having AFS/jet a $30 10pin to 14pin adapter will do it for ya +$700ish headlights and VCDS coding

I placed an order for mine a couple of weeks ago.. (this is in Melb)

Candy White 132TSI Auto Pacific.
Lol, unfortunately no exact car in the airport for my case.

I got it down to 38.5k or so on road, with floor mats, mudguards, tinting, thrown in.

I wanted the Bi-Xenon's as well .. which would have made that 40.5k. (they are a 2k option) I don't know what the satnav option is though. The sun-roof is a 2k option as well.

In the end I opted for the panoramic sunroof and rounded down to 40k on road. (figured it I could add the bi-xenons later, but a factory fitted panaromic sunroof is better done now than later)

The dealer was willing to be aggressive in price as there is a dire shortage of 132tsi tigs. Hard to sell cars that they don't have and not many buyers will wait. I told him I didn't care when the car came. (it will be a factory order of course). At first it was estimated to be March. Then it became Late Jan/Early Feb. Just had an update that it might be in-country by mid Dec, which would mean early to mid Jan before i get it.

I'm not too sure about the satnav .. that would mean the touchscreen too wouldn't it? But dollar for dollar, it would be a 3k diff if i compared it to my purchase. and again I dunno what the option price is for satnav.

So I'm looking at a Candy White auto Pacific.
Extras SatNav and Bi-Xenon lights

Went to the dealer today to get some price info. Turns out they had the exact car in stock at the airport.
Ended up putting in an offer of $42,000 which was denied by the manager. They hinted that 43k was the mark.
I left it at that and said I would think about it.

Should I be holding off at $42k, maybe trying other dealers or just offer the $43?

[Nevermind]

Thanks MGV

Bumped to the top, for newbie, 'Nevermind'...
I'm just a caring kind of a guy...

Correct me if I'm wrong here but if you're already getting a 155, then there should be a discount on the leather. When we ordered ours leather was just $3000. Might have to check that again, but I remember the leather being $1000 cheaper then in the lower models!

I'd have to go back and look at the price list but I do remember some options being cheaper in 147/155 like sat nav and reverse camera as the higher spec model already has upgraded stereo as standard.

I think it's the same with the seats as the higher spec comes with sports seats so upgrade cost is less.

Wheels were the other thing from memory as the higher spec has 17's vs 16's for base model.

Yep that's it, the $4k add-on.

Wasn't aware of all those extras apart from the heated seats and electric lumbar (same as my GTI). Guess the folding tables etc will be a nice addition!

I saw the leather package from the brochure online, that should be the package for the $4k paid.

For your contract, does it just states leather or the leather package?
