How much should I pay... Tiguan pricing.

[aussietig]

What do I get for the extra $12k with the 155 over the 132 apart from the 7sp dsg?

An extra red "S" in the badge from memory.

Got my new Tiguan on order.
Candy White 132TSI Pacific with the usual extras.
Leather
DSG (Dealer informs me that new Pacifics are ordered with this now)
$42.5k

Was quite a nice surprise to hear the DSG is coming back, but with a quoted time of 6 months, it had better be good.

I was speaking with one of the dealers in Canberra on Friday and they mentioned the pacific will be getting the DSG again starting production week 49 onwards and retaining the extras.

Also that the other models may be getting the extras that the pacific model has at no extra cost.

Is that the 7speed dsg? - because that's the only reason I would go the 155.

Yes, the 7 speed dsg instead of the 6 speed auto, in the 132 tsi Pacific.

Great, saves me some bucks that will pay for remapping, wheels etc. and I don't have to have leather interior- very happy about that too!

I'd buy the 155 over the 132 anytime, clip. 4 years ago, when we compared prices on the 125 and 147 (still the same prices) the extras the 147/155 had over the 125/132 was worth more than the difference in price. Gap is closer with the Pacific, but I'd still buy the 155.

Selling the Passat and returning to a Tig? Remeber to swap the steering wheel out again

Wow .. and let me understand what you are saying - you gotta wait about 6 months from your order to delivery?

[michael_ozzie]

When we said we wanted a white pacific, they said we have to order it, and as we wanted 18 inch wheels and leather (didn't end up getting the wheels), they said up to 6 months. The paperwork actually says 30th June, so 7 months is more accurate.
Having said that, he assured me it would be in well before that.
Not that it worries me too much, gives me more time to save up for mods

[Abuthen]

I'm sure you'll get yours sooner
Mine started out like that too .. up to 6 months (so it translated to March in my case). Then they moved the date to end Jan (plus minus 30 days - which was March anyway lol)
Next thing I knew it was on the boat and estimated to land first or second week of Dec. Give it 2 weeks for rego and other stuff, and I could have a nice Xmas or New Year present.

Sounds very nice indeed, are you keeping the regular plates or getting some Euro plates fitted? Trying to find out if the dealer can do that, as I dont want my front bumper resembling swiss cheese.

Just thought I'd chime in... slowly moving away from my Japanese Turbo 4 days and will be updating the Mrs' car first. So bye bye Liberty GT and hello Tiguan.

Candy White 132 Pacific Automatic
Leather
Mats
Boot liner.
$41.7K roughly driveaway via novated lease.

Not the cheapest but a good price nonetheless and delivery expected in approximately 3 weeks which was what we needed.

Hope to be more active on these boards now... although it's her car I've already checked out some of the modifications possible!

A bit too late for me to squeeze the dealer any more than I've already done. I really wanted the DSG but I'll live with the auto. I think the missus will actually enjoy the drive in the auto better in the long run.
Did you mean Euro plates like the V-XX-000 that costs hundreds extra? I guess I'm keeping the regular ones.
But again, wow, a Pacific with DSG sounds awesome.

That was a quick delivery .. 3 weeks! Nice!
stealth mod with an APR stage 1 and she won't even know .. maybe she'll go "honey, the car is incredibly responsive"

Well, anyway that's the mod I'm eyeing.
p/s Liberty GT (depending on which year yours is) is an awesome car. I was driving one in Singapore, where we call it the Legacy GT. One of the first cars with the Defi-like gauges on startup.

I'm eyeing off the APR stage 1 too haha!

This vehicle had just landed and met our criteria and we really needed a second car so we decided to go ahead with it.

The GT (mine was MY05) was an awesome car and I had done some great mods to it but it was time to move on. Considering finally getting a GTI now!
