Has anyone been able to work out the cost of the Sunroof on the Highline?

Motoring (Volkswagen prices Tiguan lower - motoring.com.au) have it listed at $2000.

Sunroof per dealer specs $2k.

Car advice has the official pricing/specs:

2017 Volkswagen Tiguan pricing and specifications

My specs of Highline 140TDI plus DAP comes in at $52k plus ORC.......not cheap at all but pretty well kitted out. Final pricing negotiation with the dealer will be interesting!

That caradvice article is pretty much on the money with full list of specs/pricing.

The only thing they're missing is that the Highline can be optioned with a sunroof at $2,000 and that metallic paint is the usual $700 cost option (any colour other than white).

Which leads to the fact that there's a few peculiarities in the way that the options are packaged. If you want leather without a sunroof you'll need to go Highline spec. Also if you want LED headlights or a flappy paddle steering wheel, you can also only get these in Highline trim.

I'm not sure I'd agree with the title on that motoring.com.au article saying the pricing is lower... Prices are up by about $4-5k across the range if you compare to the drive-away pricing on the outgoing model

I'd like to know the drive away prices now and if these or some models are paying higher prices due to luxury tax etc?

LCT isn't until $64,132

Drive-away pricing is base price plus dealer delivery plus rego plus any state based stamp duty/taxes.

Expect this to be $3-5k on top of the RRP

[andrew7]

Actual drive-away pricing will come down to access to corporate pricing etc, pre-existing relationship with dealer and negotiation skills

[Bassik]

This is true however haggling can sometimes be better than corporate.

I'm tossing up on which engine to go for in the Highline. Petrol or Diesel. Since the petrol is a GTI engine, I expect it to be 98RON which is much more expensive then Diesel right now and with the premium only being $1500 for the diesel, plus a nice ECU tune, perhaps the diesel is the better option? What do you guys think?
