Hey all, my R Line turned up and was missing DAP, dealer mix up. Anyways, we decided to go ahead with it. Will be ready for us in a couple of days to pick up. They look so much better in the flesh, very excited.
Hey mate,
Normally I would agree, but we decided we could do without as it's mainly a city car with hardly any freeway driving where that ACC would come in handy. Like you if I reordered who knows what would show up and when, I did get a rockin deal though.
Fair enough - given the short supply, you could probably flog it off on this forum for a profit
Enjoy your new Tiggy!

I'd be asking for some form of compensation - free first service or some accessories chucked in to sweeten the deal. That's pretty bad getting an order you've waited a long time stuffed up like that.
I think that DAP will become a standard feature on future given that likely 95% of Rlines ordered are probably optioned with it. Plus the fact that when it comes time to sell yours will be potentially less desirable.
Anyway hopefully the initial disappointment is replaced with good memories of driving your new Tig

Hey Tigger73,
I was initially very disappointed, but I haven't had a car for 2 months so just over it. The deal went down like this:
R line in black with sunroof, load area protecter, rear bumber protector, tinted windows. 1500 and 15000 service free. They also had given me a Passat 206 R line to drive around for 2 months whilst waiting for this Tiguan. Anyway ended up paying $53500 drive away. I think that's ok. I'm thinking that in three years when I upgrade the Tiguan R will be released.
As per Tigger 73, I would be asking for compensation and I would be pushing for a value much closer to the value of DAP regardless of how good a deal you negotiated initially.
In the end its a sunk cost psychological dilemma as the dealer knows you won't wait another 8 months for the car you ordered in the first place.
