How much should I pay... Tiguan pricing.

[DoggieHowser]

I know they are both 2.0l turbocharged engines but I'd have thought there might be some strengthening of the higher powered one.

Hey ido,

Think you'll find most of the 132's now are 6 speed tiptronic. And that the comfort pack is standard on those ones.

Seems like carsales gives a good guide to what to expect for full retail. If you can knock that down by 10% I think you'd be doing pretty good.

I read the reviews of the 132TSI but I thought we weren't getting DSG on the cars yet. Plus you don't really get better fuel consumption than the 155, even with the DSG.

The swap to tiptronic made the 132 Pacific Edition quite attractively priced with a lot of options as standard, but it's a Tiptronic. Which struck it out for me.

I appreciated the better standard equipment on the 155 like the wider tires etc as default. Plus it's a GTI engine with 4motion

Both the 132 and the 155 run the GTI engine with 4motion.


ido09s, use New Cars to find out what the base price should be and see what kind of deals the dealership will play ball with.

A lot of you guys seem to be buying the higher spec cars, but what have people paid for 132's?

I am only after DSG with comfort pack and i am in NSW.

Has anyone gotten a good deal lately?

[TobyJ82]

Bman, the only proviso on the 2.8% is that the vehicle needs to be delivered by the end of April. With what I've read on here, that seems unlikely. However, my dealer was insistent that he could get something before then. I got them to put a clause on the contract, that the deal is subject to that delivery. Otherwise I can cancel.

Also, that seems like a pretty good quote. I was quoted 59K for the same minus sunroof and acc. Best of luck with the negotiation.

Thanks TobyJ82 for the pointer re 2.8% finance. Apparently this is a special deal offered by VW directly and only announced today. I am now considering pulling my order for the dream Tig and going for something close to what I want. Currently have the following on order:

Night blue 155
Panoramic sunroof
Nav
Corn beige leather
Adaptive chassis control
Park assist 2
Bi xenons
Alarm

This all got quoted at $59,500.

[DoggieHowser]

I think you got a better deal

[TobyJ82]

I just put a deposit down today for ;

155 - leather, nav, metallic, 18" new yorks, bi-xenons, park assist. 55.5K

It will be interesting to see what happens, as I've agreed in part on Volkswagen Financing at 2.8%. The catch is the car needs to be delivered before the end of April.

I am aware of people's 6 month delivery dates, and mentioned this several times to the dealer. But both he and his 'boss' were very confident on landing something in that time.

[gecko2k]

sounds like a 'good' deal to me. about 10% is what everybody seems to be getting. I mean the Tiguan is SOOOO popular atm, most dealers won't have to go down too much. At least not the bigger ones....

[DoggieHowser]

I just put the deposit down. 2k. Delivery in 6 months.

55k. With the iPod cable, mats thrown in.

[TobyJ82]

Say, are floor mats standard on the 155? Crap should have asked them to be thrown in.

And you have to buy the iPod cable too!!? What the....

looks like you can get matts and cables on ebay...

[TobyJ82]

Not sure why but the same options from the dealer came up to 58.5k

I asked for 10% off to 52k

He said no for custom orders. Counter offer was 56k.

Pretty much what I was told and offered for something similar. Have got it down 55K at the moment.

[DoggieHowser]

1-2 months sounds quite reasonable I think.

I was prepared to pay for a Golf R but the missus mentioned something about needing a bigger car. *sigh*

So here's my wish list. I went to carsales and configured up a brand new Tiguan 155TSI DSG:


Price Guide Total $42,990*
+ On Road Cost $2,997
+ Extras $8,850
+ Dealer Delivery Price $2,295

Drive Away Price NSW $57,132

Options
Pepper Grey Metallic (I don't wash my cars much)
Adaptive Chassis Control
Camera Rear Vision
Bixenon with cornering lights
Leather + Electric
Park Assist 2

I wouldn't have minded a 132TSI but why did they change the DSG to a Tiptronic?

so whats the target I should be going for?
