Hi guys.
I'm looking at buying a fully loaded VW Tiguan with the moon roof, driver assist package and the R-Line styling.
I went to 3 dealerships which gave me various prices (was surprised much the prices varied)
- 64k (arrive in May)
- 65k (arrive in January)
- 60k (arrive in March)
- 67k (arrive in March)
The guy that gave me 60k was the dealer principal and actually seemed like the most trustworthy out of them all.
He wouldn't write that price down however.
Anyway, I rang up another dealership and said that I'd been given a figure of 60k and he said that there are dealers out there that will give you a great price but you will be waiting forever for the car and to make sure its written in the contract the date it arrives. He said he has seen it all the time where a really good price is offered but the due date of the car comes and goes and you end up waiting forever for your car.
Is this common practice or just car salesman speak?
Usually once you place an order you should be able to track the progress of your car (build date, shipping date etc.) directly with Volkswagen. You could check this with Volkswagen customer care. usually the delay on the car would be due to delay in shipping or customs which is beyond the dealer.
