Replying to: bocamom1 (Aug 26, 2008 5:05 am) Unfortunately I haven't seen them in person but here's a couple of links you will enjoy on some amazing high resolution pictures. Hold on let me go get the link..........................................................................he- re it is http://www.leftlanenews.com/volkswagen-tiguan.html http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2008-volkswagen-tiguan/291346/full/   My vehicle is on order and I will not get it until end of October The only option I have unless I want an SE, so I have to wait. Besides my X3 lease expires December 13th. No problem there...

Replying to: greengirl4j (Aug 26, 2008 6:31 pm) Hi Gina, I haven't worked that out but I don't think it will be a problem. Just an oversight on his part and the web shows it's included so shouldn't be a problem.   No tips for internet orders. I think once you show interest in the Costco program the rules may follow those guidelines. I am enjoying the part of no haggling and $300 over invoice for a brand new model is a good deal as far as I'm concerned. Having said that, there's probably always a better deal to be had, but circumstances have to be just right, dealer may be hot and they don't need to deal or sales may be slow and they are willing to deal....

Replying to: jeffxp (Aug 12, 2008 5:00 pm) The Costco guy told me there is a hold on orders for SEL's with NAV because there is a hold on new NAV system. Were you able to get the new touch screen NAV or did you have to go with the original since you have already place your order...when it is available for order again, it will be $500 under invoice...he said that as Europe got vehicle not much earlier than US, they are backed up in production, especially since Tiguan became popular in US so early on...many of us want the SEL's.
#30 of 134 Cancelled my order Monday by jeffxp Sep 04, 2008 (7:23 pm)
Yes, after pressing my salesman about a solid delivery date becase my lease was ending in December. He came back with a march/April delivery date, so I had to cancell my order. Now I'm back looking for another vehicle....Really bummed out. But maybe I can find something else... I drove the RX350 today and wasn't amazed or astonished. I guess I was expecting more from Lexus, I never driven one before. Good luck and I hope your time frame is better than mine.   Jeffrey Replies to this message: greengirl4j (Sep 05, 2008 7:55 pm) jeffxp (Sep 06, 2008 6:45 pm) greengirl4j (Sep 07, 2008 2:55 pm)

Jeff,   We just got a Tiguan SEL but it doesn't have navigation, it is candy white with charcoal interior. This one came in and we decided to take it without nav, since there was a wait on delivery. It is very nice and drives well. I knew there was a backup in production but didn't realize that they had changed to a touch screen on the nav system. My husband is enjoying the car very much, he is the one driving it. I am sorry you had to cancel your order. Are you sure that you can't find one without nav from another dealer? We drove the RX350 and we didn't like the way it handled.It was also more expensive. The Subaru Forrester drove very nicely, did you look at that? We were surprised when we drove it, but my husband didn't like the look of the car as much as the Tiguan. Ilene

Replying to: jeffxp (Sep 04, 2008 7:23 pm) Jeff,   That is soooo depressing!!!! I drove the Lex. RX a few months ago….hated it!!!!!! I like the BMW X3…think you leased one…but too much for only one cup holder and poor electronics!!! At least my Costco guy was honest with me….what sucks is that I already went through an order nightmare with Jeep. I waited 4 months for a 4 door Wrangler Sahara Unlimited and it came in with the wrong color interior, top and all the wrong options….then they never replaced my order!!!! So, I started all over again….finally decided on the Tiguan after test driving everything in the US out there and now, I can’t get the model that I want!!! Geez! My friends think that I am nuts….taking almost a year now to buy a car!!!! Replies to this message: jeffxp (Sep 06, 2008 6:45 pm) greengirl4j (Sep 07, 2008 2:55 pm)

Replying to: greengirl4j (Sep 05, 2008 7:55 pm) Geengirl4,   I feel your pain, but guess what! My friend refered me to a car broker which I never had considered and he's said he may be able to get me a car out of state and will let me know by Monday. I know there's no navigation available and will sacrifice that to get one and just use a Garmin when I need it. Don't buy the X3 if you do alot of city driving because the ride is worse than a washing machine and you'll be sorry, not only bumpy ride but drive train is unrefinned, the stereo trys to hard to be loud and isn't warm. Can't beat the X3 on the highway though. If I can not score this Tiguan I'm going to get the CR-V; I just test drove it, very smooth ride, but not a fast car. At this point I'll take what ever SEL I can get. Sad? Yes, but willing to sacrifice color and AWD and Navi.   Jeffrey Replies to this message: greengirl4j (Sep 07, 2008 2:55 pm)

Replying to: jeffxp (Sep 06, 2008 6:45 pm) Jeffrey,   No!!! You can't do it! You just can't settle for the "Eggmobile"!!! I have a joke with my peeps about the CRV...that if I don't find something soon, I will have to settle for the little green eggmobile (CRV)! But we can't...no way! LOL Anyway, the costco guy said, he may be able to place an SEL AWD order without the NAV and my credit union is having another car sale and low interest loan (3.9) on again from 9/15 to 10/15. So, there may be hope... That touch screen nav system will cost 3 grand aftermarket though, according to costco guy...will have to get basic GPS ($200 from brandsmart)...anyway, let me know what you find OOS from your car broker..   Gina AKA Greengirl4J

Replying to: greengirl4j (Aug 26, 2008 6:31 pm) You can get a Tiguan for below invoice. I just paid $26,500 for an SE with sunroof and mat kit. I paid invoice cost on all options and dealer even paid half of the destination charge. I paid about $500 below invoice at the end of the day. This is a buyer's market and no one should pay over invoice.
#36 of 134 Costco buying program by greengirl4j Sep 28, 2008 (7:22 am)
Hello Meronamkeithho,   I have already contacted Costco as I have the executive membership. Problem is, I want an SEL AWD with Nav....Costco won't even take my order right now because VW is so backed up in production! They won't even give me a date when they can take orders again. People who ordered last May are scheduled to receive Tig in Nov. I wanted to order last May but was given a tip by a VW rep to wait until August when recall issue was to be fixed and price was supposed to drop...now I am stuck with nada! Don't want to settle for S or SE! I already had a jeep order nightmare....So, here we go again! They never have anything good on the lot....I know I am too picky but I have a right to be as a consumer!
