The Wait Begins

[Rosey]

Rosey
Sorry to see such a bad start to what should be a good experience
pretty much dont have to name the dealership as i can almost
guarantee I know which group it is copping the same level of
disservice when shopping for both our Passat and more recently
the Tig some times you wonder how they stay in buisness we
ended up going down the Peninsular and was treated to top level
customer service reciving e-mails quite often with the progress of the
car, hope things change with time for you

lucky you then! We signed for the classy looking black 147 early May(2009! lol guess have to mention the year too as people are apparently waiting till next yr to own a Tig!) but I doubt that things can change much for us at this point unless he is reading this forum lol ( I removed the dealership name so little chance of that happening)
He was a cool salesguy at the begining....just at the beginning but after we signed the contract he just couldnt be bothered with anything at all!!!
He said the ETA is the 21st Aug and delivery 14 days afer that! that is IF he allocated the right ETA to the right customer since he cudnt even get our contact number right!grrrrrrrrr now the latest info is that he doesnt have a clue when Tig wud be in their dealership!!

Thanks guys, this forum is awesome and so informative, cant help to keep coming back he he

By the way, when we test drove the Tig, he told us that the car was already allocated to someone but yet we were allowed to take the car for a long spin! is that a normal practice???? is it common to have a few kms on a new vehicle upon delivery? like 50km or something?..anyone?


Have a great day all of you... over here strong winds are rocking Victoria

My Experience: Ordered Tig on 16 Feb to to get colour/options we wanted (125TSI, Candy White, comfort pack, leather, off road, auto) It arrived Brisbane 22 May, but took until 12 Jun to be delivered to dealer and prepped for delivery. But it was worth the wait!

you going to get the APR remap TigWhite? It will make your 125 even nicer to drive

the APR looks great, i've had the Revo on my polo and it turns the polo into a nasty bit of gear, anyone tried the revo for the tig?

How long do you wait

Hi

My Tiguan is scheduled to arrive in Port Kembla on 26th October. How long after that does it take to get delivery? I have ordered Relex Silver, TDI Auto, Sunroof, Park Assist, Sat Nav, Black Leather, Comfort package

Thanks

Can take up to 3 weeks for compliancing and delivery to dealer bt i had read that someone got their's after a week.

Pick it up on Friday, woohoo!

Yes, worse case 3 weeks but my dealer suggested around 8-10 days

Tiguan Immediate Availability

Not sure where else to post this .....

Currently Austral VW in Brisbane has 5 unallocated Tiguans standing on the floor waiting for owners. (as of yesterday)

2 x 125TSI (both auto, both metallic)
2 x 103TDI (1 x auto & 1 x manual, both metallic)
1 x 147TSI white

If you are looking for 1 and want to get in 1 quick contact them.

Norris Motor Group VW (North Brisbane) had 2 unallocated Tiguans a week ago
2 x 125TSI (both auto, both metallic)

Should we have a place to post what immediate availability we can see out there? Maybe a rolling sticky with a time limit on the posts? Is this do-able?

[Arctra]

I don't know if it's worth having such a thread. Any VW dealer registered with VWA has access to see what stock other dealers currently hold, what's on the ship, and what's in build at present. So if you're wanting a Tig you can just ask a dealer what's available and they can tell you.

If potential buyers want a Tig and think such a thread would be useful then I guess there's no hard in trying to start such a thread.

1 x 147TSI white

The dealers usually put unallocated stock on Ebay or Drive.com (at list price)
Want to bet they're >6 months old and that horrible blue?
EDIT: (sorry Sharkie, couldn't help but be cynical about dealers..!)

These are all actually MY10s. So pretty new, 2 x silver, 1 x black and 1 x the new blue. I looked at them because I hadn't seen the new MFD lighting before when I was there to discuss other future purchases ....

Yeah you're right there, but it would be nice to some to know what's out there without having to talk to a dealer. They lie to you quite often anyway ...... remember it costs them money (shipping) to source a car for you from another dealer.

Not wrong there with the dealers, it has taken me nearly two weeks to get the VIN number from them so i acn track my Tig which is due Nov, one salesperson says they just have the order number other one says we can get it just have to ask someone else then get told they can get it but I am still waiting for it, they keep passing the buck

[Torn]

love the knowledge of the dealers, they told me the tig had the DSG 7 speed, which i knew it didnt, when i took it for a test drive, i asked why it was only showing D6 on the MFD and he promptly advised that i wasnt going fast enough, hehe
