    Congratulations - welcome to the Tig club Mind telling us what you ended up picking it up for?

    Probably used for school runs and shopping trips.

    Understand once bitten twice shy... I'd go the 147 too as long as the difference wasn't too much.

    The deal is sealed and will pick it up this Sat. Hopefully it won't have any hidden surprises given that the car has only done 15,000km and the factory warranty will expire in January 2013.. so I have to make sure I run it hard this Sunday at Lakeside Happy Laps and also in the next few months, so if something comes up it can get fixed by VW service

    Remember to always negotiate based on "drive-away" price. No use agreeing to something and then finding out the dealer has done the shifty on you and not included all the fees and charges (s/duty etc).

    How much are they asking for? I'm guessing $38kish plus on-roads.

    Reality is it's the old shape and since they've launched the FWD 118TSI resale values on the series 1 Tigs have taken a hit. You can buy a brand new 118TSI for $25,888 drive-away (admittedly it'll be a 2012 plate).

    Now you have to ask yourself how much extra are you willing to pay for the 2.5 year old 147 which is going to be out of warranty in 6 months?

    Just to put things into perspective....

    Personally I wouldn't want to pay more than $6-7k over a new 118TSI, but then again I do drive a hard bargain when it comes to shelling out for cars (just ask my wife!).

    Nat,

    Mid 30s for that spec and that low km is reasonable I think

    I got my 09 Tdi mid last yr had 50,000km, I got it for low 30s, original invoice was just under $60k

    - black vienna leather
    - RNS510 sat nav & rvc
    - 18" NY rims & 235 50 18 Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport (heaps of thread and should last 50,000km plus)

    Wear and tear: a ding on the right rear door, scratches on the front left bumper (dealer will fix under the contract), a few paint chips on the bumper and bonnet, fading red colour on the rear 2.0TSI bit and 4motion emblems (will debadge for cleaner look). Could not see the paint conditions clearly due to the cloudy sky but hopefully no major spider / swirl decorations, but overall it is better than my current wife's car paintwork

    how much do you all reckon is a good price?
    Sounds like only cosmetic damage to the car.

    Given everything I'd be looking at low to mid 30's. There's a few other 147's on carsales with low km being advertised for around that mark.

    Other place to have a look is redbook.com.au will give an indication on pricing.

    At the end of the day it all depends on how much the dealer has paid for the car and how keen they are to turn it over. I'm guessing the dealer would have paid around $30k for it as a trade-in possibly a little less.

    I'm guessing the car still has some new car warranty so the dealer doesn't have to worry about that and if they haven't fixed up the damage on the car it won't have been on the lot all that long.

    Good luck!

    Hi Everyone.

    I'm going to join in on the fun.

    Just bought a brand new 155 Tig
    - Pepper Grey
    - 18" NY Rims
    - Vienna Leather
    - RVC

    I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get one with HID's, I quite like the look of them, but I guess I'll retrofit if I get desperate.

    I'm getting a friend to do the tint but I completely forgot about floor mats. I assume they don't come with them?

    Anyone had any luck convincing the dealer to throw them in after you've bought the car?

    Cheers.

    Hey mate,

    Top price for the Tiguan, Leather for under 40k is a real achievement.
    Is it being delivered with the 6 speed auto or the 7 speed dsg?
