I have ordered/received my New Tiguan

[Eyes24]

Thanks lynden, that's a fair saving there. Ripped off I am.

Just make sure you make an appointment.
Another guy from this forum got a great deal from him too.

I ordered mine through Tracy O'Brien (0418 845 227) at Duttons Adelaide Hills. She gave me the best price ($54,500 for 162TSI, White, R-line & DAP drive away) which was even lower than the one obtained by the car broker. Tracy was upfront and honest throughout with regards to how soon she could get a car, whether she would be able to swap cars with other dealers who had unallocated vehicles arriving over the next few months. This is not what I could say about a number of other sales consultants I've dealt (and I dealt with a few across Australia) with whilst trying to secure a Tiguan.

Deborah Shawyer at Southern Volkswagen was also good to deal with, she had the 2nd lowest price for me so I didn't end up going with her.

Christopher David (1300 922 022) from National Car Brokers was good to deal with even though I didn't end up ordering through him. He's also honest and up front about the run around you might get from sales consultants who are placing orders in excess of their dealership's allocation.

I've just gone through the process of buying a Toyota Corolla for my father-in-law and if I had a bit more time on my side, I would have used Christopher David to help me. It just takes out a lot of the running around (well phoning around, back and forth) between the different dealers.

The benefit of using a Car Broker is they are able to get you access to fleet prices on the cars and dealer delivery which is useful if you are not eligible for Corporate/Government/Fleet discounts. In addition to that, because car brokers buy so many cars from dealers, the dealers are less likely to mess with car broker's orders as it would result in lost business down the track.

Good luck!

I'll PM everyone I've consulted for their prices to see if they're happy for me to post up my excel spreadsheet. Once everyone gives me the go ahead, I'll post up the details of my research.

Never thought of the broker option, would be good to see your finding. I have two business days left to change my mind with my original dealer, my fault for rushing I to it.

You should cancel now, for sure you can get better deal than 60k
At least 56k

Thanks for the advice so far, will let you know how I go.

When did doncaster say delivery will be?

[Tigger162]

Doncaster didn't know exactly know at the time, they said could be as early as May but could be as late as September. They did ad a clause in the contract if it didn't arrive by September then my money back. Factory is overloaded apparently.

if I make a new order I'm wondering if I should go the sunroof option, can anyone talk me out of that. I had one in my scirocco don't think I used it much. But does kind of look cool

Have decided not to go ahead on a better deal but I did manage to get first service free at Doncaster after my leaving threat. Spoke to a few other dealers today and as I could of got a little better deal with them it did not make it viable to cancel my current contract as I would loose more then half my deposit in the process. Interesting thing is all the dealers said 57k is a impossible price guess things have changed since some of you have signed the bottom line, on the other hand Brighton did not deny I couldn't get it for 57k but they would not confirm it either and with the loss of my deposit a $600 saving is not really worth the effort. Wish I did my research sooner but lesson learnt.

I spoke to ********** at ****** today , and he was saying he can't do those low price anymore, cos there is to much demand and the dealer can only get there hands on very few tsi162 RLINE now .

As with all these things timing is everything. If the dealer needs to shift units and make sales budgets/quotas then they will be more motivated to give you a price you can't refuse.

If they have already made their monthly budget or sold their allocated quota then they'll be trying to maximize the profit out of any further sales.

I'm sure you'll be able to get some dealer to come to the party. It's just how far you're prepared to travel and how many calls you want to make.

You got a good deal but maybe not the best deal.
