I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[hcvo1]

There's a couple of 162TSI R-line demos listed on carsales: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/res...pDeal&limit=12

Looks like the first one is in Victoria - Waverley VW and the second in New South Wales at Tweed European Volkswagen. Incidentally, the NSW dealership also has a Pure White 140TDI R-Line for sale as well.

Hi guys,
im new to vw but love the new Tiguan! I'm going to put an order in for the 132tsi comfortline with DAP and lux pack in black pearl, quoted April delivery and drive away price of $49,900 and also includes darkest legal tint windows.
whats your thoughts on this? It's about a $4-$5k discount. Is this a good price?
i have never bought a new car so quite an experience negotiating and figuring everything out!

Check your dealership to see if you are eligible for corporate discount - normally this just needs a letter from your employer or demonstrate that you have membership to one of their approved organisations. I managed to get about 8K off the RRP of my Tiguan

A few of us can up the ante on bragging this week. About 65 highline and rlines on the Don Juan which is currently of the south coast of WA. Yours arrives into Melbourne on 7/1 then the remainder are off loaded in Port Kembla on the 10/1. A few of us have cars on this boat so should expect to have them by the end of January.

sorry to brag

Does anyone know if there are any 162TSI fully loaded with R-Line, DAP and Sunroof on this shipment?

Can't tell from the manifest if there Loaded rlines on this shipment. Just that some of them are 162's.

looking back at the posts of others who are waiting on the Don Juan I would suggest that these cars are simply highlines and not rlines

Got a screenshot from NADCON a few days ago from the dealership and my fully loaded R-Line has moved from a May delivery to early April (car looks like it will be leaving the production plant on the 27/01 and arriving in Melbourne on the 22/03). Looks like there will be a whole lot more R-Lines on the road come April.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you have a fully loaded HIGHline. The options are the DAP+RLine+Sunroof?

They are just cosmetic additions/options.

The R-line isn't an actual upgrade to the vehicle where extensive engineering work has been done, like an STI or Golf R where you get different transmission/motor and drive trains above the lower model.

It's more like you get a 3 series but with an m sport steering wheel. The car is now not an m series. It's a 3 series with some cosmetic upgrades.

That's my sour grapes for the day!

Yes you are correct - I just refer to the car as an R-Line

[Gladbach]

So do a lot of people. No one is calling it an R.

Exactly!

Exactly!

I don't think Ive read a single person refer to their purchase of a Highline, as a Highline, in the 85+ pages of this thread!

However, someone who ordered a Comfortline adds the Luxury Pack for $5K (more than the R line option) - yet they all refer to the car as a Comfortline, not a luxury?

Get my angle? Yes? Great. No? All good.

Everyone calls it an R Line - but its a Highline. For the sake of forum harmony I will let it go . Its a small issue. Apologies if I ruffled any R line feathers.
