Bargain MY15 Diesels

[tigger73]

Just jumped on carsales and looks like pricing starts from:

$32,990 + ORC for MY15 130TDI
$33,990 + ORC for MY16 130TDI

There's also some drive-away pricing for MY16 130TDI from $34,990 and MY16 R-line for $36,990.

Oi! Leave my R Line alone! I have a call out to Waverley VW on that one!

I just spotted a real bargain - 2014 MY15 130TDI with 421km for $30,990 drive-away: 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan 130TDI 5N Auto 4MOTION MY15

I feel sorry for anyone trying to sell a diesel Tig now with these ones going for bargain basement prices...

I saw this one too, and it's lack of picture did not phase me...

Then I found the R-Lines.

It is confirmed, there are two 130TDI R-lines at Sutherland VW (NSW), though try to avoid the rather pushy Larry(he might be a nice guy, but he came across like a 1970's car salesman... well, to me, anyway). Final, absolute best rock bottom price, before I walked out the door to sign on the dotted line with Botany VW for $35k, was $35.5k. Five minutes into the drive to Botany, and Larry was on the phone, "oh the Manager said he *would* match".

But Botany was smooth as glass, and got the sale.

I did find most dealers in NSW have a couple of the 130TDI's as officially second-hand cars, in various guises.

And Sutherland still has two R-lines; Pearl Black, and Metallic Night Blue.

Hope you all get the model you want. I did!

Nice work Caracatus! Just to confirm was that $35k + ORC or $35k drive-away?

Either way given the new 140TDI R-line is $55k, these are certainly priced to move.

Hi tigger73

I would have said $35k was drive away, except I have to now go to the RMS (DMR for us old farts) and pay the applicable stamp duty myself.

Oh, and it *was* after trade-in ($2.5k)on the 349k Nov '07 MK5 Golf 2.0TDI. So *I* believe I got myself a bargain, and hope no-one bursts my bubble!

And I really, really wanted that black one in Sutherland, damn you Larry! (Or the Night Blue)



Finance approval pending, pickup tomorrow morning, one Silver 130TDI R line!

For anyone interested, the Purchase Contract has the Vehicle Price of $35445.45, less a discount of $1354.54 (no idea were or what or how this discount was calculated), but adding GST of $3409.09, gives the purchase price of $37500. Now subtract the Golf's trade in, and you get $35k

Something else that might also be of interest, gleaned from my phoning most dealers in NSW within a 500KM radius of Sydney:

All the diesel-gate Tigs (and others, I assume) are all previous orders to VW from Dealers. So there are really no loose Tigs hiding away in those damned distribution yards. On their release, the original Dealer was then offered their order, but at a reduced price (They come to the customer with standard new car warranty) but are officialy classed as second hand vehicles. Some Dealers are calling them Deomstartor models, but their official designation is a Used Vehicle. (This is born out by my Purchase Contract which is titled Contract For The Purchase Of A Used Vehicle)

Those salesstaff that offer to find one for you do exactly what I did. They rang around. My Botany seller had told me he knew of a Night Blue R-Line. Asked him if he meant the one at Sutherland. He did. But I had pretty much put Sutherland VW in the manure pile (see previous entry re Larry at Sutherland...)

Hope you all find the Tig of your dreams

Merry Christmas to all, and Happy Holidays to everyone else
