Hey guys im looking at a Passat 206 sedan, got a price of a $61,500 with sunroof and metalic paint. This is just the corp. pricing discount. What are people negotiating on these driveaway? Is around $57k achievable?
Also I cannot believe this car with all the bells and whistles does not come with DAB+ radio!!! Not happy about that! Its available overseas but not here! Even the Dynoaudio sound system!! Not happy
I was worried about the lack of DAB and the premium sound system originally... since then, I've discovered two things...
1. With Apple CarPlay... you don't need DAB, just the TuneIn Radio App. You get better service for longer and it uses little data (not an issue for me as I have 20GB per month!). You can also listen to stations you can't receive normally!
2. The 206TSI seems to have better quality speakers than some of the lower models (not sure how!). You'll see my earlier post about my concerns of the audio quality. Now I have the car... and played around with the settings, it's all good! I'm VERY happy. I'll post my EQ settings if you want.
Righto. All going well, I pick mine up tomorrow. What are you all doing for run in?
I pretty much drove my Tiguan as I normally would every day and the car is still strong with no oil burn @ 127k kms. The engine is kinda similar so I figured I would do the same, but I'm also keen to hear what other people do.
Pickup is supposed to be today but thanks to good ole Western Australia, it doesn't exist in the Department of Transport database, so they can't register it. I'd taken the day off to do some errands and pickup the car. Cross fingers that something happens today. I really don't want to bust another day off for nothing.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Wife decided on Tiguan and not the Passat 206 TSI R-Line. See signature below.
Ordered: 2017 build date Tiguan 162 TSI Highline with DAP in Tungsten Silver and rear luggage tray. ETA: late April / Early May. I did not have to wait. I took delivery on 11 March 2017.
I paid $62,800 for mine. as per the colour, I think it is only the silver and the grey that I have?
There are two light silver colours... Reflex Silver and Tungsten Silver. My old GTI was Reflex... so I went Tungsten this time. It's more of a pewter colour.

I had a similar problem in NSW. It was so new, I couldn't get insurance. Had to get a broker to arrange it because it wasn't on the RTA System. Then... had to wait for rego... it near drove me nuts!
I can speak from bitter experience. A Divorce will take longer than the delivery of the Tiguan.
Be happy for me that we also chose the Tungsten Silver.
Enjoy your 206.
