Hoping that the gaps in my knowledge can be filled here, so would appreciate any assistance.
Essentially im interested in and been offered a new demonstrator VW Tiguan. Its the 2020 (70 plate) new shape and was registered by the dealer in November, so basically has only been used by the MD at the minute over lockdown (circa 1k miles).
Now spec wise it comes with what I asked for, Automatic / 4Motion and RLine spec. It has a 2.0TDI engine with 200PS which I dont really understand, but I think that means it has a bit more power behind it.
Brand new it comes in at 42k with all the extras added, they have listed it for 35k and in turn have already offered me 12k for my car (i own outright), so theres a 23k gap to bridge.
Firstly if anyone has any experience with the Tiguan and what specs I should be looking at, id like to hear about them. I think it has everything id want, the only option missing is the 'mobile charging pad' which would be handy, but not a deal breaker
As for price, obviously the car has dipped a lot in value so would the dealer likely have any wiggle room or do demo cars generally sell at what they are offered at? Ive not had much experience in negotiating these, my plan is to finance it with a personal loan as I dont think id get value in VWs finance with a lump at the back end to pay off... but again, happy to listen to those who know better.
I have looked at competitor options and for what im getting, I dont think I can get similar with Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar... I know thats a bit snobbish looking at those brands, and although I currently enjoy the Mazda I drive, I feel its the right time to go German before Brexit takes hold!
Would love to hear the good and bad, cheers.
