So I went for the long drive and finally ordered the Tiguan.
I ordered a 162tsi highline in white with R-line, DAP and sun roof, also got weather shields and the boot/bumper stainless steel protector. Got an eta of late feb 2017. Would have got a tow bar but they don't offfer one for the 162 yet
Now just between me and you, don't tell anyone but I got it for just under 57k drive away. I would have got it at cost price but they have to make $500 on the R-line pack. Either its vw's rule or the dealers rule, not sure but I was still happy to be paying cost price plus $500.

I reckon I got a fair price looking at what is here and I did not even go into the dealer, I rang, he gave me a price and we did the deal via email. I was astonished TTTT, I hate buying new cars as it is a damned money pit that does nothing but cost me both to run it and suffer the devaluation at the same time and sitting opposite a sales person getting the psychological routine they run through is not my idea of fun as I used to work for dealers and have heard it many times before.
Ordered a 162TSI Highline / DAP / R-Line in Tungsten Silver. No roof because I don't like them. Came out at $56.3k
And now for the wait - ETA March apparently.

It will depend on what state you're in as to what rego you pay but essentially you can look this up/calculate how much for your local registration is going to be.
You can work out within a tank of petrol how much discount the dealer has provided and that's the most important thing when you're going to negotiate a deal.
