Has anyone seen this?

https://www.carsales.com.au/bncis/de...AG-AD-14601782

I enquired about the car through car sales website and got a call this morning from one of the salesman.
I asked about the price and the response was that the Dealer Principal said that the price is to be jacked up because of shortage of cars, the salesman also said that it (extra cost) would be put down (on contract) as dealer delivery cost.

Is this even legal?

I am about to contact VW AUS tomorrow morning and ask the question.

I think you will find it is legal to ask as much as they want. Be it over the manufacturer suggested retail price or not.

It is the buyer that has the last say.

If you feel the price is outrageous then don't buy it.

You can offer a more realistic price and walk away. If no one is willing to pay more than you, then you get the car at the price you are happy with. If someone is prepared to over pay then that is their issue. You just continue shopping.

Fair comment,

from my point of view, they can keep the car. If some poor sucker is willing to pay more then retail then good luck to him/her.

70 grand? Jeez is there a 10 grand bag of money in the boot?

Hey avdo nice to see you again :)

Have you come full circle and looking to get another Tig?

What's the order delivery times like now? October time ??

Hey mate,

I always keep looking at VW. Don't get me wrong, BMW is a great car but I tend to get bored very quickly. I was going to get an M3 but we're looking at expanding our family so M3 is out. We have been looking at an X5 but my wife thinks its way too big.
That brings me back to Tiggy, its bigger then last one and it would suit us just fine.

Yes 2 door cars and kids seats get a real pain real quick.

The new Tiguan is a good size and right height for putting kids in and out of.

Just make sure you get a black one as my wife would like a black one next time ;)
