Photo finish Jas,

Here is my deal:

MY10 Tiguan 147 DSG
Black color
Sunroof
Leather seats
Factory carpets
Factory boot tray
Premium plates
Warranty extended 3 years (now 6)

For $48,500 drive away, ordered car too, not showroom floor stock.

I think the 147 was a bit more expensive back then to.

[DigTig]

That is good - for me the sunroof was non negotiable

[Jas]

I still reckon I got the best deal

Here is my deal:

MY11 Tiguan 147 DSG

Late Feb...

By their calculation (factoring in onroad costs) it was a discount of $3655....but as you know I'm a bit of a newbie

Long time reader, first time poster....

I got:

147 MY11
Black (Pearl Paint)
Black Leather
Sunroof
MDI
Mats

$51000 on road

I thought this was a good price, but the deal literally took 5 seconds to make. I told him how much I wanted to pay, the manager said yes, $1000 deposit paid, deal done.

Thoughts?

147 - 46k
Paint - 0.8k
leather - 3.7k
Sunroof - 2k
MDI -0.27k
Mats - 0.1k

Total = 52.8k

Looks like you are in front of RRP.
Not a large discount but still a decent saving.


Do you know when you are expecting to pick it up?

If nothing else, i highly reccomend the stage 1 ecu remap, just makes the car so much more responsive.

Any suggestions on where to do this? I've seen lots of conjecture on APR modifications, so I presume finding a local APR rep in Sydney would be the way to go? Absolutely down with baby steps, looking at your Stg2 story, modifications seem to be reminiscent of tatoos...once you get one, you just want more...and more...and more! (Hence the reason I have no tatoos, because having 'sleeves' in the IT industry is a funny look.

Hmmmm...Stage 2....I likey! Might be able to do a few mods when I send the other half to Melbourne to see her folks! She'll come back and wonder why the Tig is so much more responsive, and quiz me on the new engine sound.

I pick up on Friday, and I'm looking forward to a Xmas Eve drive. Will look at mods after 2-3 months me thinks.

Well it seems you are all set then.
At least you managed to get a 3.5k discount.

You never know, the benefits of the tig may sway you to use it and not bother with the R

Glad i have inspired some.
I know the Stage 2 blue beast inspires me each time i drive it.

Thanks team, but I'm one of those people that ALWAYS spends more than I have to for great technology I will never, ever use...I've come to terms with this!

Really, as mentioned above, this is a compromise car for 6 months, I lose my 310Kw weapon, and share this with my wife until my R arrives in June. Thanks for the feedback, you're the one that is responsible for me buying a Tig in the first place, after reading about your trials and tribulations.

Keep up the good work!

I would try asking one of the friendly dealers on the forums if they can find a car in stock in the Country that is to your preferred spec's.
Find out what you need/want and then see what they can do for you.

63k is a lot of money to be throwing around for a car with options you may not ever use/need or can get cheaper elsewhere.

Before we bought ours we took a 147 for a strap up through the hills and honestly you don't need it. At the end of the day its an SUV not a race car. The ride was very compliant and quite comfortable. My impression of the ACC in the new Golf R I've bought is that it is useful in softening up the stiff sports suspension and you could definitely (in my opinion) tell the difference when taking the demo though the same section of road. So no, from what we saw the Off road and the ACC was really not worth it and we live in North Queensland so it will see its fair share of dirt!

Thanks angry...but like you, I have ordered a fully spec'd R for myself, and this is the wife's car (we're sharing until my R turns up in June). So for the sake of $300 or so, I'm not too worried, and if she ends up at her sisters farm in VIC, she may have a need for it after all)

I guess the point is...happy wife, happy life (yeah, really?!?!). This thing is sitting at a dealers, no wait time, I can get pre Xmas and keep the other half happy. I lose my 310Kw ride in the meantime, but get the joy of a pocket rocket in 6 months time.
