looking for a great deal on a tiguan 103tdi

**freddy** · 06-05-2009, 12:46 PM

Almost all (if not all) of the TDis listed on carsales are 08 built (there are a few 09s listed, but I would check to see if they are 08 built 09 complied). Given that posters on this forum have mentioned at least 2 Tig shipments due early this month, there should be a bit more pressure on dealers to get rid of their 08 stock. If you are not in a rush and are willing to opt for an 08 vehicle, waiting till end of this month or June may pay off. VW might even have to consider a "free on roads" offer for 08 Tigs by next month. of course, this is all supposition.

The deal I got is $2.7k off plus $900 delivery charge fleet quote. The long option list might contribute to my bargin power but a fleet quote is fundamental to get any big price drop on tiguan order.

Reading the brochure that I got both the TDI and 125 TSI comes with RCD310 standard. The 147 TSI comes with RCD510 standard.

I believe RCD510 comes with a 6 cd changer plus touch screen.

And in all 3 models we can opt for the RNS510 which is basically Sat Nav.

Which means DynAudio is an additional option that doesn't come standard with any of the 3 different audio systems above.

Am I right?

Also if I were to get Park Assist and the std RCD310 would I get a visual display for both front and rear sensors or just audible beeps?

If not do I need to upgrade to RCD510 or RNS510 to get a visual display? I'm not too fuss with not having a 6cd changer plus touch screen but would prefer a visual display for both front and rear parking sensors.

I'm also attempting to get a quote from www..betterdeal.com.au. See what I get and then use it as my basis for my negotiation.

Thanks

Dynaudio is an extra option regardless which model you choose. It also comes with RCD510 which is a great unit to play with.

With RCD310, you will still get visual display from park assist but does not look great.

btw: I'm glad that I chose Dynaudio, not only sounds good but brings the RCD510. 300W is enough for me and shall get better after break-in

The RNS510 isn't just a Sat Nav. It has a 30GB hard drive and built-in DVD drive. I believe you do lose the 6CD changer on the RCD510.

I would do that, it doesn't compare. I would rather focus on finding how reliable the RNS510 is.
Than consider if it's worth it? And also how often do you buy a car? If the difference between a fake and the real thing is not much or not worth it to me to take a risk, I would buy the RNS510 and be done with it. It would work from the day one without complications and lost time to get the fake unit connected and possibly brake some clips or similar in the dashboard in the process.

Just my 2c.

It seems to vary from market to market. Here in NZ the RNS has a 6 disc changer fitted in the armrest between the front seats, but it would appear to be different in some markets and even between Tigs within the same market.
