Thanks for the info. I am looking for the exact same configuration and waiting for quotes from Santa Clara Volkswagen (through Costco) and Oakland Volkswagen. Will let you know when I hear from them. I think 500-1000 below invoice is not bad. BTW, how do you get 3% tax. I thought CA sales tax was around 9.25%.
 
thanks

If you are still in the DC area, can you tell me if the panoramic sunroof lets in too much glare on days like Sunday 4/26/09? I normally enjoy light coming through a smaller sunroof or moonroof and am concerned if the panoramic roof lets in too much light.

I live in NJ and this weekend and today it was 92 degrees and SUPER SUNNY. I have a black Tiguan SE with 4WD and charcoal cloth interior. I found that it varies though out the day. At certain times the sun shines on my Navagation screen and depending on how the sun is sitting it bothers me and other times, it's fine, with only VERY minor glare. If I feel it's getting too warm inside, even with the AC, I close the sunshade forward and it's fine. It lets in just the right amount of light. Not too much, not too little, considering it has a "mesh-like" sunshade. Get the panoramic sunroof. We LOVE it and are glad we didn't decide against it. Hope this helps!

Tiguan SE w/Leather Purchase Price by bamatide01

Just wanted to give an update on my recent SE FWD purchase.
 
2009 FWD Alpine Gray Tiguan SE w/Leather and Pan. Sunroof in Nashville, TN:
 
Sale Price: $28,063 ($28 below invoice)
Tax (7.65%): $2,147 (sucks, but get $400-$500 back after tax deduction in 09)
Fees: $269
Total OTD: $30,479
 
I was originally going to purchase an 09 Honda CRV EXL (already had the deal worked out and ready to sign), but liked the way the Tiguan looked and drove much better and the 0% APR made it possible for me to go up a few thousand over the CRV price...plus there are just so many CRVs on the road. I wanted something different and the Tiguan has great user reviews...and I see why.
 
I'm loving the car so far, but has anyone else experienced a slightly delayed acceleration response when hitting the gas from a stopped position? It doesn't do it when I use the manual tiptronic shifter though. Just wondering if this is normal in the FWD Tiguan when in auto drive
 
Thanks.
Matt.

We picked up our 2009 Tiguan in Chicago. Here is the configuration:
 
2009 Tiguan SE 4Motion
Panoramic Moon Roof
Flap Guards
Mat Kit
 
$27,950 + Tag, Tax, Title
0% APR for 60 Months
Included $470 VW credit towards first installment under graduate financing
 
We turned down an offer from another dealer that included the Protection Kit ($300) and 18" New York Alloy Wheels ($400) for the same price. We paid the premium as we were keen on specific color and this dealership manage to procure it after a 10 days wait.
 
We were almost inclined towards CRV LX 4WD but the base model had a little unimpressive interior for the price you pay. When you compare the price/features of CRV upgrade (at usual 4-6% financing) to Tiguan (at 0% financing) there is not much difference in what you pay. But world of difference in your driving experience.
 
I don't have to promote Tiguan on the Tiguan forum. But those thinking of a CRV, just do yourself a favor and test drive a Tiguan. We were sold the moment we opened the door. Of course this is our second VW so there was always a bias.
 
The amount of electronics/electric controls are bit intimidating from maintenance perspective. Beyond warranty period, you always want to take the Tiguan to VW dealer only. So I guess purchasing an extended warranty is a must.
 
Bamatide01 - I observed a little delayed response when moving from a stop as well. And ours is a 4Motion. The power is bit intimidating in a stop and go traffic - so I guess we are glad there is a delayed response. I am not sure if it is intentional or some kind of design flaw though.

Tiguan 0% Financing Terms/Purchase Under Invoice by toddh3
May 07, 2009 (7:15 pm)

VW is now offering 0% as per their website but it does not state for how long. I spoke to one NJ VW dealership who said it was for only 36 months. Can VW dealerships offer the Tiguan for up to 60 months? Thanks!
 
Also, how much under invoice can I purchase a Tiguan SE with roof in NJ?
Additionally, is the 4motion option worth paying the extra $2k for? Any help would be great as I really like the Tiguan but as CR states "its pricey".

I live in South NJ and all the dealers are coming in at bigger nos in the $430 range with $1500 down just for the SE with roof not the 4motion. Can you please mention who the dealership is so I can call them?

Tiguan Problems? by venture5

I've seen a couple of comments about the Tiguan hesitating when starting from a dead stop. Has anyone had any other mechanical, finish or feature problems or issues? Thanks.
