Start from the invoice price of the SE with the options you have with Edmonds. Figure the purchase price if it was new should be under invoice by at least several hundred dollars.
Since we're dealing with a demo, you have to deduct even more since its "used". It does not appear to be a great deal to me especially since at least a 100 people have driven your new ride.
What dealer did you use? Where is it located?? I am trying to get a deal on a base SE 4motion now and the dealer here is nowhere near that number... would love to get my hands on (such a good) rival quote sheet to bargain with!
I bought my Tig from Larson VW in Tacoma. I live up in Seattle but as you can tell by the price, it was well worth the drive down.
If you live in the area I can give you my sales reps name.
I have had a bit of remorse because I really wanted a TDI Sportwagen, but even the dealer who gave me this great deal wouldn't discount below MSRP. Overall I am happy with my final choice.
We plan to buy a Tiguan S in Chicago. The dealer offered us a OTD price of 24,700. And we can get the 500 customer loyalty rebate. This is a car with the standard equipment only. Does anyone know whether this is a good deal? Thanks.
It is my opinion that the Tiguan S models tend to be lot babies. While the work for some, most folks upgrade to the SE. The dealer I have been working with has had the same two S models on the lot since December.
Is your out the door price inclusive of tax and tags? I am not sure what the tax is in IL, but lets say 8% - that puts your sale price @ ~$22,800 + 500 loyalty. Not bad but me thinks if you really push it you could get into the 21K range.
I too am looking too for a Tig SE in the Chicago market but have not been impressed with the dealer I have been working with. What dealer or dealers should I go with? Is the AWD worth it? The FWD seemed to have a lot of understeer and didn't even seem close to a GTI as far as handling almost sloppy.
I am looking to buy an SE in Mass in the next couple of weeks. Can I ask where you bought yours? It sounds like you got a good deal. What were their sales people like? Pushy or helpful?
I bought my Tiguan SEL at Fathers and Sons in W.Springfield MA. Ryan, my sales guy, was fantastic and worked with me to get exactly what I wanted! I highly recommend him - it is the 2nd VW I have purchased there. Good luck! :shades:
You stole my screen name and my SUV! LOL I have been trying to purchase an SEL AWD with panaromic roof and NAV since May 2008! Can't find and can't order one in Florida. I just came back from a trip to New England and didn't find one there either! :mad:
I live in NY and I was quoted at the local dealers couple of hundres under MSRP...OUTRAGEOUS!!!!....I want to buy a Tiguan SE and I used autobrag.com, I offered 23000 for a new SE no roof/nav/4 motion just standard and I was suprised when a dealer from MA accepted my offer..I will let you know how the deal went through...If you check online for used Tiguans you can get the SE for around 21K , so it has a really low resale value...I don't even know if it's worth paying 23K for it...good luck
Just got a base S-model with 17-inch wheel upgrade at $22,000 for the car only and $24,100+ out the door. This seemed a bit much compared to the other guy who got it a while back for $21,500+ for the car only.
What is a good price for an S? How much below invoice is reasonable? Does anyone know about the $250 rebate "Cash to Customer"? Does it only apply to those that finance through VW?
2010 SEL Tiguan with sunroof + nav 33,887 del. (Invoice 34,575, MSRP 37,255)
of course then you have to add in the dealer fees of 339, plus tax + reg.
later in the day, after signing for this deal, I got an email from another dealer offering the same package for 33,892 out the door, fees incl. shoulda waited..
To get these prices I emailed about 5 dealerships asking for their best price on this specific config., also giving them the int/ext color I wanted. Maybe I could have done better, but that's what I got.
I was just offered a 2010 SEL AWD with nav, roof, side airbags, trailer hitches, mat kit for $100 over invoice (MSRP: 38,525, Invoice: 35,628) plus tax/tags but no dealer fees (Fleet dealer). VW Costco affliates quoted me $500 under invoice plus dealer fees last year for a 2009 but then said they couldn't order it due to availability. What do you think? :shades:
It wasn't too hard to get 675 under invoice, but the dealer will all add in 250-400 in fees. I negotiated that down 50% when I bought my daughters Hyundai - but that was a different situation.
The last deal that was offered was ~675 under with no fees, in NH. This was Seasoast VW.
I am not aware of any mfg - dealer rebates going on right now, but I get the sense there must be something because they were all willing to go this low.
BTW - my config was also AWD.
One other thing, if you can find a 2009 they are offering 0% financing/36 mo but not on the 2010.
Costco Consumer Advocacy reported they do not have their 2010 price sheet yet from cooperating VW dealers to get the $500 under quote for 2010 models and it could take 3 months. He said I should consider my $100 over invoice with no dealer fees offer as this is a good offer considering supply/demand on this model. I did email your Seacoast dealer. Although I live in South FL, my family lives in NE. Did you order your Tiguan or get one off of the lot? I am ordering.

The best price I was offered here in Dallas, TX for a S was $24,400 out-of-the-door with the 36 month 0% apr financing. There's a shortage of Ss here and I'd only seen and tested SEs uptil then. When I finally did get to see the S, it was not in the color of my choice and it looked very different without the roof rails (not available on the S). I also did not like the cheaper cloth and plastic steering wheel.
Ended up buying the last locally available White 2009 Tiguan yesterday (9/30), a SE for $26,350 out-of-the-door with the 0% apr financing. It came with the heavy duty mats and the ipod adapter. Didn't care much for these extras but definitely like the upgraded cloth, the longer roof bin with mini compartments, the leather steering wheel and the roof rails in addition to several other small extras.
Stayed with the dealer till 10:30 pm trying to work out the deal. My saleperson was very pleasant but I did not appreciate the finance guy's scare tactics in trying to sell extended warranty, insurance coverage etc by saying this is an expensive car to maintain and we charge $100/hr to fix problems. I mean I hadn't even signed all the paper work yet. He had a grin on his face when he said I had successfully managed to avoid all of the extras!
I ended up getting a 2009 Silver S for $21888 before TTL, including 17 inch wheels, bluetooth and mat kit. According to Edmunds, the invoice should have been $24089.
I used VW's request for quote on their website and sent the request to about 20 dealers from Napa all the way to Santa Cruz. This is the first time a dealer has come in significantly BELOW my bid, which was $22700. The dealer is in Sunnyvale, CA and I was very happy with them.
SE 4motion with leather, moonroof and 18" new york alloy wheel. The quote we got from a dealer is $30,856.00 plus TTL. Invoice on Edmunds is $30,684. Is this a good deal?
Hi i'm in the market for a tiguan. could you tell me where is your location and where is the location for this dealer that offer u $33,892 drive out price for 2010 SEL w/ sunroof + nav. Thanx a million.
This is a very good deal if it is a new 2009. I bought the same car with cloth interior for the same price in Apr. At that time VW had a $1500 financing rebate. There is no difference between 2009 and 2010 Tiguans. As far as AWD versus FWD is concerned in the DC area it depends on whether you plan to go offroad. If you don't then I don't think it is worthwhile to pay $2000 extra and lower gas mileage for a few days of snow.
Update: actually got this lesae deal after hours of negotiation on last day of year:
Same MSRP: 29600 (2010 SE FWD with roof (no leather/nav) Sale Price: 26011 MF: 0.00141, Residual 50% (showed 14800 on lease) $595 lease fee waived but I paid title, plate, and doc fee. 5% WI tax $379 per month (only paid the fees for downpayment)
Just purchased a 2010 SEL 4Motion w/ Nav and Sunroof for $35000 plus taxes, fees, etc. MSRP - 37650 Invoice - 35197 Paid - 35000 Financed for 60 months at 4.3 APR which is better than what VW credit was offering at 4.49 for 60 months on the 2010.
It also included a winter mat kit. Seems like a good deal after shopping around quite a bit. It wasn't a car the dealer had in stock either. I got some great prices on 2009's with the same configuration but they did have the color combination my wife wanted. We live in Northern NJ so I am not sure how this deal compares to nationally. Sales department was excellent. Finance department tried to sell us way too may extras when we said we didn't want anything.
Do you know what is the difference between a SEL 4 motion and a SEL 4 Motion Wolsfburg edition beside a badge? Why will the Wolfsburg cheaper with the same options? Is it anything missing on the base car? For a SEL 4 motion with sunroof and Nav I got quoted $36,700 just the price of the car. Doesn't it sound too much? They claim that it is $600 over the invoice. Thanks
I believe you are right. I think the line up goes S > SE > Wolfsurg > SEL. If I remember correctly the Wolf is very close to the SE except leatherette instead of cloth; Wolf badging; and something else that I forget. SEL adds more stuff.
Thank you. Yes I got a verification from a dealer. The Wolfsburg in in between SE and SEL as far as equipment. Is $600 over the invoice too high for an SEL 4 Motion with Nav and sunroof, in Northern California?
how much your guys pay for it,just for base or the wolfsburg one,i do not need sunroof or something like it. the best price you can get,i am live in NY thank you!!!
Then I discovered American Express has a auto program from zag.com, which knocked the price down to $25,547 plus $99 dealer fee, title and tax.
The good news is that the our local dealer matched that price so I didn't have to drive to Virigina, what I am unhappy about is that he also said VW wouldn't offer the 1.9% financing with that price. Which turns out to be a lie, so I'm stuck at 3.5%.
Could you recommend dealership around new england? I am searching for a S 4motion 2010. The OTD price is sort of high around 28000 without options after I asked the nearby dealers.
Any info on recent purchases would be appreciated. Thank you.
I bought mine about a year ago, but the method I used should still work. Settle on the configuration you want and just email about 6 dealers asking for their best price. Be sure to tell them you are ready to buy from whomever is lowest.
When I did this I got the best deals from Wellesley and Seacoast (NH).

The car has 3400 miles on it - it was a demo. I feel like 26500 is still to high. Anyone else think so too?

Is it automatic or manual?
I was wondering if you can share the dealer's info with me, i am looking for 0% on Tiguan for 60 months and i live in chicago.
Thanks,

Got an offer of $32,730 + tags title taxes. What do you think??
MSRP: $30,325
Invoice: 28,528
Offered price: $25,228 ($5097 below MSRP) + TTL
If I choose AWD, the price will be $27,216; is it worthwhile to get AWD (I live in DC area and may have big snows occasionally in winter).
I am not sure if this is a good deal because it is a 2009 model, not a 2010 model. So what you guys think? Thank you very much for your help.

Why will the Wolfsburg cheaper with the same options?
Is it anything missing on the base car?
For a SEL 4 motion with sunroof and Nav I got quoted $36,700 just the price of the car.
Doesn't it sound too much?
They claim that it is $600 over the invoice.
Thanks
I think those are two different trim levels. The Wolfsburg is cheaper, because it has less options..
Unless I'm wrong...

Yes I got a verification from a dealer.
The Wolfsburg in in between SE and SEL as far as equipment.
Is $600 over the invoice too high for an SEL 4 Motion with Nav and sunroof, in Northern California?
"18 New York tires (not selected, just on the vehicle)
Set of rubber floor mats (thrown in by the dealer after purchase)
This seems like a good price......
The good news is that the our local dealer matched that price so I didn't have to drive to Virigina, what I am unhappy about is that he also said VW wouldn't offer the 1.9% financing with that price. Which turns out to be a lie, so I'm stuck at 3.5%.
