Metalic / Pearl Paint

Checked out the prices on the Audi and I'll admit they are a nice unit the Tig will suit our purpose better. Also the price with options is out of our range.

On the Tig - do you really want all those options?

You are probably aware of this, but just in case - pricey options dont factor a lot into resale values a few years down the track - they basically kill your resale as a % of the purchase.

Of course if you already knew all that - go for it.

Either way the Tig is a great car - excellent choice.

Not looking good

The Tig must be too popular as the dealers I'm contacting either don't bother to return calls or think that they are doing us a favour in selling us a car.

Was prepared to deal with the hefty price tag despite VW's poor reliability record, all we wanted was a reasonable discount and some honesty, didn't get either from the dealer in my area and now that we've had time to think about other options our enthusiasm for a VW has cooled.

The average discount is about 9-10%.
You can do better if you have options so you should be looking at between 10-13% off the drive away price.

Maybe try looking at dealers further out from you.
Also try getting quotes from brokers.



I believe central cost vw are doing good deals at the moment.
They are at Gosford, i believe they have a contact person on here.

I've been aiming for around that or a little better (never hurts to ask), I'll try the central coast dealer, thanks for info.

No problems.
I believe they are doing the deal as a corporate discount which should net around 10% before you bargain any further.

With all the options you have gone for, i would be surprised if oyu couldn't get more than 10% off.

Basically went the whole hog, sunroof, park assist, nav & camera, leather. off road, xenon headlights, mdi, bluetooth, weather shields, scuff plates, bonnet protector, headlight protector, mats & tint.

Should look good but this morning I have received the contract from the dealer which is 10k different from what was agreed, if they cant clear that up I'll head back to the other dealers that are chasing our dollars.

I just came across this car while shopping around:



All I can say is "WOW!!" Simply stunning!! If it was black on black, I'd be all over it.
