I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

And what about the dpf system not covered under warranty as well as and damage caused by excessive carbon in the engine because the dpf was not "cleaned" properly by allowing it to go through its filter process? Yes this was told to me by the dealer, any damage caused by only driving in the city and not doing a decent highway run ever week or so will not be covered under warranty

I think the dealer was being a bit loose with the truth myself. I would want to see in writing where it was a condition of warranty that the vehicle had to be driven in certain conditions to maintain the DPF. Also things have changed with DPF's these days, Mazda for one inject fuel into the DPF to burn off the carbon during a cleaning cycle and the DPF issues have disappeared for them. Personally I would not buy a diesel to just drive it in normal metro areas and I own one now.

I still reckon March/April for mine and the order was in for the first production run. Salesman will say anything to get a contract signed so I tend not to believe them.

Email from my sales person today (unprompted) said our highline was due in production next week....which I think it is week 43. We will see.

I was told mine was in the first production run for the highline and that is week 47. In addition to that they sent me a screen shot of their eta data and it looks like the car will be in Melbourne on the 22nd Feb

Took a brand new plain white 110TDi with Driver Assistance package for a test drive 2 weeks ago. Could not fault it in anyway, handled well was quiet no rattles ergonomics excellent, if anything it was the instrument panel it has so much info and options on display that I found myself staring at in amazement and not the road. I then took my current Tiguan down the same test route that I had taken the new one on and found it behaved much the same but slightly less responsive which I think is because it is slightly heavier and has less power. It was unfortunate they did not have a 140TDi to test drive as this was really what I was after to compare against my second option.

The dealer offered it to me for $45300 drive away and $15k trade in for my current 2012 Tiguan which was $2k less than he offered me for my first Tiguan that I bought in 2008 that I traded in Dec 2012 to buy my current car.

My other option is a white X3 2.0d with M Sport Package Leather Nevada Seats Innovations Packages Head Up Display and 60k 4 year corporate service plan for $63k drive away. Not quite comparing apples with apples but I have elected to go with the later and collect it mid November

Based in vw car configuration for Melbourne the drive away price is:

- 110tdi is $47600
- 140tdi is $54900

And DAP is $2000.

If the dealer is offering you $45300 drive away for the 140tdi (which I'm assuming) then he is bulls**ting you.

$56900-$15000 is $41900! Not $45300. Always ask for the 'change over price' - which is how much you have to pay to get out of your old car and get in your new one.

Unless he said $45300 for the 110tdi without including your trade in yet; then that's a different story.

I think if you re-read the post it's the 110TDI they offered for $45.3k driveaway (i.e. the car he drove).

This is another case of dealers playing hard-ball on pricing and losing a sale.

I'm not sure what supply is like at the moment but I haven't heard that there's massive wait lists (apart from the 162TSI of course).

45300 was drive away for the 110TDi without trade in.

I asked them for a "trade in value" valuation on my car so I would have an idea what to sell it privately for. Looking at Carsales I should get around 22k as I have 55000km's on the clock

They could not give me an exact price on a 140Tdi but based on the offer they gave me for the 110TDi I would have expected to pay between 52k and 54k
