I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[bendor]

Yes my contract is also signed and the deposit has been paid.
At time of purchase it was still a my17 but now has been confirmed that it will be a my18 due to how long it takes them to order/build/deliver.
Just a shame that now there is extra cost cause of new stamp duty% and new features which are on my18 that I'm supposed to be paying for. Kind of leaving bad taste in my mouth.
Anyway. I will evaluate what the extra cost is when they finalise it and I'll see then if I'll continue with purchase or not.

I'm still calling BS by the dealer, what exactly is he saying costs more?

I've read elsewhere that the extra features that the MY18 DAP is getting are purely coding updates, as the Skoda Superb that has identical kit (e.g. electronic handbrake etc) already has them, plus I thought others have have been able to enable them in MY17s.

Thinking about it further, I would tell them they need match the agreed price or you will take it up with VWA. What have you got to lose?

Ladies and gents, just got the email from the dealer indicating the ship has sailed from Bremerhaven and car is ironically on the aptly named vessel 'the Tiger'. For those awaiting confirmation of shipping I gather it's likely were all together. Check with your dealers.

Good work, that will land mid June yeah?

Had been speaking with the dealer earlier today and sadly mine hasn't shipped yet ah well a couple of ships leaving over the next few days so won't be long. They're getting me the VIN at least so I can start checking myself.

Hey Eyes, yeah it'll need to leave within the next week to make it for week 26. Was just hoping it'd make it onto an earlier ship which was on a fast schedule

Eyes24: you might be on a similar schedule to me, I think mine is expected to land in October with a November delivery date.
