I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

Hey Gladbach,

Just got an email from the sales manager and he provided me with a screen shot from the Patricks dealer portal. The status of the car has now moved to "ready for transport" which means it should be at the dealer in the next 2-3 days! Not long now buddy. Fingers crossed you get yours soon as well!

Nice one! No news yet from my dealer, I'm just sitting tight now and trying to be patient.

Hi all,
I'm looking at a 132TSI with DAP.
Anyone got a good deal lately to help with my negotiations. I feel like the dealerships are being a bit tight with discounts this time round and would love to hear how others went. Thanks

I paid my deposit for a white 162TSI with R-line and DAP about a month back, to secure a car the local dealer said they already had on order (they actually had one with a sun roof and were dealer swapping it to my choice of no sunroof). They were originally talking about a July delivery, but just emailed to say the latest update is 14th Aug 2017 in Fremantle port. How far out should they have a "its been built" date, or "its on a boat" date?

This was a rather complicated deal that involves me giving my own part ex car up to them, prior to the arrival of the new one. I suspect so they can sell it before having to pay VW for the new one. They are giving me a loan car for the duration, but when they were talking about that being a month, I was cool with that, but if it starts slipping to many months, we may need a re-negotiate. Hyundai Getz vz Landrover Discovery - umm!!

If it's arriving in port on 14th Aug, then you probably won't get it until early September (maybe late Aug). It typically takes 10 business days or more days to clear the port and get delivered to the dealership (mine arrived at port on 10th March and the dealer still hasn't received it yet). It will take either 36 days or 52 days to get to Fremantle depending on which route it takes, you count back from that and it will give you an idea of when you could start tracking. Ask the dealer to give you a VIN when they can (follow up if need be).

port to port to Fremantle is going to be about 34/35 days (its usually 39 to Melbourne where I am. You car can typically take up to 15 days to get from the factrory and onto a boat. Sometimes less. So you can assume your car will be built around June 30 to July 7 if that date into Fremantle is correct.

You are still a few weeks from knowing the VIN- maybe your dealer can give you that in early June.

Getz- nice...........

Collected ours on 16th Feb but have been travelling roughly half the time since then, so haven't spent as long in it as I'd like! This is our third Tiguan (2008 103TDI / 2012 155TSI) and now 162TSI Highline, with R-Line and fully optioned. It feels much more premium than before (closer to an Audi) which is great... there's also a crazy amount of tech (I've barely started in on the manual for it!) Loving this car so far - best Tigger ever and on the R-Line and 20s it looks tough! https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0xGlxzuqGnhcgn
