How much should I pay... Tiguan pricing.

[egb18ct]

Just signed up here after browsing the forums (previous Honda owner ) anyway i'm looking at purchasing a 125TSi for the mrs.

Went to barloworld today (both branches) and was quoted:

Tiguan MY11 125TSI Manual
Candy White
Comfort Pack
Mats

35k at glen waverly
36k at bayside (but sales guy was tempted to sign for 34k after a bit of haggling for 30+ mins)

so, is 34,000 drive away a decent price for this, i wouldn't mind fogs as well but this car is already in stock. Thinking of the apr chip later on too.

wanted to trade the jazz in but getting stuff all so that will be a private sale...

I've studied 4 recent Tiguan (2011 model) purchases posted in VWWatercooled Australia - VWWatercooled
I've compared the official VW RRP price list – (as given to me by the sales guys) with the drive away price paid by the poster.
Of course any chosen options as posted have been taken into my calculations.
Discounts have been in the region of $3152 (7.3%) to $6280 (13.5%).

The average discount on full RRP is around 10%.

Armed with this knowledge, I am ready to do begin negotiations with VW sales guys in my area (Melbourne & Canberra)

Tig 103TDI DSG (auto) 43,452 (RRP on road)
White (no metal paint cost)
Black Leather/Elec. seat = $4000
Bi-Xenon/dynamic cornering headlights = $2000
MDI $270 (plug in yr iPod with adaptor in centre console box)
RRP = $49,722
10% off = $44,749
Now to make my offers. Wish me luck!

(P.S. I've been told and read that waiting times on non-stocked Tig's is up to 6 months! Also be aware a "mid model update" is due in late 2011 with a new look & LED driving lights option rumoured. Perhaps more.)

Thanks Zhenjie, Was that a manual or automatic (DSG) ?
If manual, 38122
+1000 (comfort) +280 (mdi) +300 (offroad) + 550 (bluetooth)
(not including mats, boot inlay - not sure what they are worth)
=40252 (discount 1252)
Auto = 40682 + options
=42812 (discount 3812)

with corporate discount I'm going to guess u got the DSG (auto)
= 8.9% discount
well done Zhenjie! I am told discounting only happens on IN STOCK cars, like yours.
If you have to order one from Germany ... discounting is much less

About that boot inlay, the cheapest cargo liner costs $155. The reversible mat is $248.

Yes it was the 7spd DSG, model was in stock picking up next week. Didn't really ask about custom orders discounting, but I would still think min 5-8% discount is possible.

Don't get the protection pack, it is worthless.
$63k is quite a bit of money, have you used the spreadsheet to work out the costs of all the options and worked out if you are getting any discount?

Is the RNS510 essential with the park assist/RVC as they can be had on ebay for under $1000 which saves you another $1500

Is the Off-road tech necessary for you?
I wouldn't be taking my car offroad if i paid over 60k for it.

I think you got smoked on that price... and make sure you drive one first... the acc is a waste of time in the tiguan. We bought the same spec minus leather acc and the rns510 for $54k

Cheers Team_V / angryman...valid points, thanks for the feedback...

I guess the big point here is drive-away-ability...ie I don't actually have to wait for the thing to be built. Looking at the pricing, I'm getting a discount of about $3,500, not a huge deal by any means.

team_v - offroad tech/RNS510 is non-essential, but it's in the vehicle on the dealers lot...so it's a bot hard to remove I guess?!

angryman, can you elaborate or point me in the direction of why you think ACC is a WOT in the Tig?
