Tiguan deals

[beancounter]

I'm looking to buy a new Tiguan SEL 4 motion DSG and my head tells me to go for a 2.0TSi but I don't see any around. I'd take a 150 or 190 diesel if there was enough discount to offset the likelihood of serious long term depreciation as diesel goes out of fashion. What sort of deals are people getting? I'd consider PCP or outright purchase.

£4K ish from the likes of Broadspeed.

I've heard real world economy of the petrol variant is poor....

Thanks - yes, I have seen discounts around £4k online but just wondered whether anyone had personal experience of getting more than that as it is only 12%-13% which doesn't feel enough to me. I take your point re the economy of the petrol version and will probably go for diesel if I can get the price right.

Its a popular in demand car at the minute. Dealers are reluctant to give them away with big discounts.

It might be a waiting game...

There's only 14.5% margin in the car. I'd say 12-13% is a pretty good deal! Heaven forbid the car dealership retain 1.5% pre-VAT as profit.

If you're buying on PCP or lease does it really matter if it's petrol or diesel, you can just hand it back at the end if it's haemorrhaged it's value.

What about support, rebates, bonus's etc that the dealer gets from VW? The margin figure in isolation is nonsense.

So dealers should trade with non-guaranteed monies that they may potentially get?? Seems a sure fire way to end up in financial trouble pretty quickly.

The point is that it's wrong to say there's only 1.5% margin. I don't know how dealers get away with those "sold at invoice" offers either - they're equally nonsense.

How's it wrong if there's no guarantee of getting the money? Granted, those offers are a different matter and I don't disagree with you on that.
