Champion! Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi guys,

Today I popped a DVD into my RNS510 but a message said that the DVD was the wrong region code. I checked the region code on the DVD, which was 4 - the code we use in Australia. Does this...

So how did you go with Fivedock - or are you going with the car broker? I would be interested to know how effective the brokers are at negotiating a price on the Tig.

Makes sense to me :)

No, I hated Waitara VW - everything from their arrogant sales manager named Sam, to the three separate sales people who never bothered to call me back, to the stand-over sales tactics and outright...

I waited 6 days from paying my deposit to requesting a colour change and was told that it was too late, the car had already been scheduled for production.

That's weird, on the Rola website you can drop down VW and Tiguan from their menu and the RBLX is an option. Maybe she means that the RBXL isn't designed to fit with the sunroof.

Other than that,...

I don't know if its total bull$h!t or not - but I was told that should you need to replace a panel on the veicle (as a result of a crash or whatever) then the colour is harder to match if you have...

Waitara VW had a candy white TSI parked out the front. It looked great with dark window tint, side steps and big wheels. The black looks brilliant too - photos have been posted in another thread,...

Just to be clear - are you talking about the step fitted to the outside of the vehicle, or the scuff plate inside the door?

If you're going to buy aftermarket don't forget to add the cost of fitting the parts - unless you're going to do it yourself of course. And then there's the drama of functionality loss (RNS510...

On the topic of the telly...

I'm told the RNS plays DVD's, but only when the vehicle is stopped. Does the DVD pause at that bit until you stop again, or will I have to keep rewinding? Or, more...

Its all down to personal choice I guess...

But I can't understand who or why VW chose the two "colour" options (ie not black, white or shades in between) that they did - Catalina Blue and Wild...

Well, coming from a history of driving naturally aspirated, manual vehicles, the 125 had plenty of power. I'm not big in to V6's or anything like that. But the Tiguan certainly impressed me...

thanks for the info guys!

Sharkie, I'm not sure but I think the extra $3k at trade in is part of the "Conquest" deal and only relates to vehicles currently in-stock and delivered before the end of May 2009.

I've driven both 125TSI and 103TDI cars. The transmission in both of them is very nice - the only issue I had with the TDI was (a) due to turbo lag and (b) due to me not being used to driving a...

For anyone thinking about installing a RNS510 post-factory:

I was told that they can be bought and retrofitted by the dealer. However they lose some function such as the rear camera... something...

Yeah, including the Astra. I think the trade figure was about $5k - but not entirely sure.

My brother bought a Tig today from Fivedock in Sydney:
125TSI
Auto
Silver
Comfort
Fog
Sat/Nav
Park Assist
+ trade on a 2001 Astra
$42K on road

Just saw an ad for Tiguan on telly (metro Sydney). Advertised as $33k RRP.

[QUOTE=Sharkie;306835]Finalised my order today. :biggrin: Delivery around 15 August 2009 :frown:

Drive-away $37500

Tiguan 125kw Manual
Reflex Silver
Comfort Package
Foglights
Alarm...

Meh... I heard the same sh*t from the sales person. At the end of the day, I'm only going to buy the best car I can afford. A fully-kitted Subi, drive away for less than $40k is a viable option. ...

The thing that probably astounds me most is that a $36k car can so quickly jump to $50k once you put a few options on it. There was a vehicle in stock which met my specs (auto, fog, comfort, sat)....

I think I initially dealt with the same bloke at Waitara VW...

On my first visit, I was quoted a price with a corporate discount (being 5% on a Jetta but only 2% on the Tiggy). On a subsequent...
