How much should I pay... Tiguan pricing.

[Angryman]

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!

Cheers Team_V / angryman...valid points, thanks for the feedback...

I guess the big point here is drive-away-ability...ie I don't actually have to wait for the thing to be built. Looking at the pricing, I'm getting a discount of about $3,500, not a huge deal by any means.

team_v - offroad tech/RNS510 is non-essential, but it's in the vehicle on the dealers lot...so it's a bot hard to remove I guess?!

angryman, can you elaborate or point me in the direction of why you think ACC is a WOT in the Tig?

[Angryman]

I think you got smoked on that price... and make sure you drive one first... the acc is a waste of time in the tiguan. We bought the same spec minus leather acc and the rns510 for $54k

Don't get the protection pack, it is worthless.
$63k is quite a bit of money, have you used the spreadsheet to work out the costs of all the options and worked out if you are getting any discount?

Is the RNS510 essential with the park assist/RVC as they can be had on ebay for under $1000 which saves you another $1500

Is the Off-road tech necessary for you?
I wouldn't be taking my car offroad if i paid over 60k for it.
