looking for a great deal on a tiguan 103tdi

[NZTiguan]

The TDI does not come with the RCD510 headunit, and to have that factory fitted means ticking the dynaudio or sat-nav option.

Don't know if it's the same in Ausi as here BUT my TDi did come with the RCD510 cos it had the luxury pack AND it also had park assist with sensors front and rear.

2009 AU TDI's come with the new RCD-310 standard.

Same here BUT as soon as you put the luxury pack (leather etc) on here you get the RCD510 as part of the deal, and roof storage if you don't have the sunroof. That was what I was trying to point out.

No lux pack here in Oz. There is a comfort pack, but no upgrade to RCD510 AFAIK.

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

hey tiguan_hunting,

We ordered earlier this year, as some people have advised, at the end of the month - and haggled with the pricing.

I made a long list of every option we thought we would need and then started to haggle. My theory was to keep the price where I wanted it and was prepared to strike some of the options off the list in order to keep it there. Also had a second list with other extras that I want fitted, but wasn't prepared to have the dealer do it for us.

In the end, we pretty much got what we wanted for the around the target price and the bonus was, not all of the "sacrifice options" were omitted.

This is our car:

'09 TDI in Candy white
Black Leather
Comfort Pack
BiXennon lights
Front fog lights
Park Assist
Bluetooth
MDI
Offroad pack
Carpet floor mats and Boot liner
8" DVD roof mounted for kids
$49,500 drive away

Other extras are:

18" wheels and tyres (will keep the 16" for now)
Tint
Chip
