I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

You gotta be kidding right?

You're buying a car and not renting one.

Since when do you need to pay for a full tank of petrol?

52 dollars is money in my pocket not theirs and the full tank was thrown in without asking.

As much as I am keen to own one of these (and I've been following the evolution of them for 12-15 months now), I wont be ordering one until I've had the chance to sit in it and drive it. I'm sure they're going to be everything I want in an SUV but, what if they're not, what if the engines aren't as powerful as you want/expect, what if the seating position doesn't feel right etc, etc. I just hope no one is disappointed with early orders/

On another note, as I understand it only the lower spec models will be in the dealerships this month? If that's the case I wont be able to put my R Line order in till they arrive and I've had the chance t drive on, of course I'm talking about the 162TSI version

I was told cars are being prepped for showrooms mid August, with test drives not even commencing until early September. When I asked about lease/corporate prices being available the guy had no idea and remained clueless after asking the dealer principle.

Dealers will be getting 132TSI Comfortline demo cars which will be available for test driving in 3rd week of August (in 2-3 weeks). Though they can't sell you the demo car until 24th September when it's officially launched. They are taking orders now. Stock of 140TDI Highlines are visible on the system, however 162TSI is still not available/showing.

Corporate discounts are also available now on the entire Tiguan range. If your dealer isn't playing ball then I suggest you find a dealer that knows what they're doing. Also you may find that the salesperson doesn't get a commission from any corporate customers so will try and talk you out of applying for corporate discount just to try and get a sale as a regular customer. I'd call it as a dodgy salesperson.

How much is the corporate discount?Is there any minimum employee count for your employer to qualify under this scheme?

Order confirmed: 140TDI Highline with DAP and tinted front windows $51,800 (Corporate Pricing). Happy with that with the retail approx $57.7. Car is in the system to be built and should be delivered in November 😊

Corporate discount will depend on the model but work on $1.5-3k as a rough guide. I'm not 100% on how it works but VW has a list of employers that qualify for the corporate discount rate. I think your company has to have minimum 10 company cars or something like that.

Also they offer corporate discount through a number of professional associations - for example AMA members (doctors) can get corporate pricing.

Off to our dealer this afternoon to finalise a quote for the new Tiguan. Its been confirmed that they can offer a towbar and roofracks so that was important for me as this purchase is through a Lease. Needed it all speced from the start. Really tempted to place an order now to get it ASAP , but I really just need to see the Dealer Floor car to be sure. I've waited this long , a few more months wont hurt.

110TDI Comfortline with DAP. Habanero Orange. Corp Discount applied.

Does Your dealer have floor stock already? Also, is the towbar the electric one featured in the European model you tube clips or is it an Australian bolt on?.... cheers

[flappa]

No not yet. Still a few weeks away I think. Sorting the preliminary stuff out now, so when they do get them, in a few weeks, we can order there an then.

I believe the tow bar is an Australian Bolt on , not euro electric. Confirming later today
