How much should I pay... Tiguan pricing.

[TobyJ82]

Hi Doggie,

Similar quote to mine, except swap the ACC for the SatNav.

I am hoping I can get it down to low 50's, say 52 or around there. Not sure if that's overly ambitious or not.

[DoggieHowser]

Thanks Toby. I'll give it a shot.

my local Volkswagen dealer and was told that a custom order would be around 1-2 months. So seems fair dinkum.

Is that d/a Gecko?

custom orders generally have a 5-6months waiting time. 1-2 months would mean you jump the queue at production and your Tig gets put on a speed boat. If your car is already on the way and/or available somewhere in the country then it sounds reasonable.

And yes it is d/a. No corporate discount used, it is a bit less then 10% off the RRP.

so whats the target I should be going for?

10% is always a good aim, otherwise see if they throw in extras and/or (boot-)mats etc

[DoggieHowser]

Is it 10% off the Driveaway price or the price excluding the on the road costs?

[TobyJ82]

Hey Gecko,

Was just going off what the guy said at the dealership. 8 weeks is a lot different than 24.

I'm in no rush to get the car, but 6 months is ages. Ha. I mean that would push it out til at least August maybe even September. By that time they're probably already taking pre-orders for the next model.

@Doggie:

I told our dealer what we were after and asked for a final drive away price. I negotiated from there. I believe the initial offer (for our package) was somewhere between $52-55K, depending on the dealership. We are salary sacrificing the Tig, not sure if that makes a difference???

@Toby:

Yeah. I don't want to say your dealer is telly you stories, it could be possible that he can source a Tig in your preferred configuration from somewhere else in Australia. Or it might be already on a boat and hasn't been allocated/sold yet. Maybe even sb cancelled their order, who knows...

Otherwise we ordered ours in mid January and will take delivery in June/July (have to check date)....

[DoggieHowser]

Who's your dealer, gecko?

[BMan]

I placed an order and car was originally scheduled for delivery in June, then nadcon said it would be August but as of last week nadcon screen shot shows delivery will be around may/June. Until its on a ship I'm not going to know the final delivery date.

[TobyJ82]

When did you order? And may I ask what options you order and what you paid?

Was just offered this;

155
+ Leather
+ SatNav
+ Bi-Xenons
+ Park Assist
+ 18" rims

$56,250

Thoughts?

A Brisbane dealer said it would take 6 months for a custom order

[masev]

That may very well be the expected wait now - I ordered mine towards the end of November and should have her in my garage by first week of April.

Around 4 1/2 months in total.

[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?

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.

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....
