How much did you pay for your Tiguan?

[MickyD]

Micky, we are not talking about resale value. We are talking about brand new prices which is set by the manufacturer as a price guide on what they should be paying for their goods. If the dealer is over-pricing their own product then the consumer has the right to complain to the ACCC they are being over-charged.

Resale Price maintenance is a specific term in Consumer Law referring to the manufacturer/distributor controlling the price that dealers are selling goods for brand new, nothing to do with second hand values (though I can see how the confusion arises!)

He's got to be kidding right. That's as much as people are paying drive-away. You've still got to factor into account 6 months rego, depreciation, 6 months warranty and transfer fees of around $2k. Plus 5,000km on the clock. I think I'd be going with a new non-Wolfy...

Not wrong!! I paid $57365 drive away for my Wolfsburg and he wants $365 less!!! Everyone needs to tell him he’s dreaming!!!

I’m a bit the opposite. I take my car to a VW independent specialist as I know I’ll be getting an experienced technician who has an interest in his business and my satisfaction.

If you take to a dealer you’ll likely get the apprentice change your oil and only overseen by a mechanic. Apprentice will often think he’s getting the crappy jobs and be less interested in doing a good job.

Plus I get to talk to the person that has worked on my car which you often don’t get at a dealership.

Hey mate. Yeah your 100% rite. I took our wolf for its first service in parramatta DENLO. Not only are the office people rude and very bad at communication but bad at workmanship. I took of for its first 1500 k service. Couple of days later noticed oil on the garage floor. Hmmmmm what’s that I thought. Looked under car seen oil dripping from the sump. Jacked the car up and what do you know the sump plugs leaking. Check out the oil in car next to empty. Grate. There hopeless. Do you know if any independent vw approved mechanics In western Sydney?

That is strange as they shouldn’t touch your oil at the 1,500km checkup. It’s basically to run spanners over all the bolts and check everything is OK.

I know quite a few people recommend Arthur at Exoticars. I haven’t used them personally but do get recommended a fair bit.

That’s strange, I was told a 1,500km service was not necessary and only come for the 12months/10,0000 Service?
