I talked to two dealers and apparently VW have mandated that the RRP of the new Tiguan cannot be discounted. I assume any discounts will come via lower dealer delivery charges, but even the two dealerships I spoke with weren't willing to budge on that, with one quite arrogantly saying that there's no point offering discounts because they have so much interest in the new car, and that anyone who doesn't buy soon will just have to wait a lot longer for their car.
Yes I think it's likely the case that dealers that have their stock allocation will want to sell these at full RRP because they can.
It's the old supply/demand equation and while supply is short the dealers will want to sell the limited cars they do have for the maximum price.
Apart from a couple of "special" Golf models the local VW dealers haven't had a lot to be happy about for a while.
So I have ordered a Tiguan:
VW Tiguan 162TSI Highline 7Spd DSG Wagon MY17
-Pure White Paint
-Driver Assistance Package
-Panoramic Sunroof
-R-Line Package
ETA for delivery is Jan/Feb.
In addition to talking with dealers, I contacted a broker/fleet sales person who found it difficult to get any decent discounts on the vehicle. Luckily though, he managed to find a dealer who was willing to discount. If anyone is interested in the price or a referral to the broker PM, me.
My dealer just rang me and told me that my car (R-Line 162TSI) will be placed in the system to be built on Monday 19th September

Wow, that's earlier than I would have thought. Did they give you an ETA for delivery? According to the dealer I spoke to, the cars only take one day to build, but obviously then need to be shipped, which I'm guessing is about a month. From what I have heard previously, the first batch of Tiguans are arriving in December.
I should explain that it will be ordered on Monday - not sure when it will be built but Jan deliveryQuote:

Ah, sorry, misread that. The dealer told me Jan as well, although in the purchase order it says Jan/Feb as the ETA. I guess that gives them a bit of a buffer in case it's delayed.
When I ordered my GTI a few years back it took 4 months to get here. Once the car has been entered into the NADCON system VW will allocate a build date for our cars. The dealer should be able to give you a VIN and from there you should be able to track the vehicle yourself.Quote:

For those that have placed an order for Comfortline, have you received any firm delivery dates from your dealer yet?
I've been hassling mine every week and response is that they're still waiting on an update from VW. He did suggest it's likely to be Sep/Oct for the 132tsi but it didn't sound like he could book something specific in whatever system yet.
I ordered a 132tsi at the end of August and the dealer gave me a vin on the spot. Expected arrival in Brisbane on 5 October.
