So when I got the Mustang we traded in our Explorer SUV and the wife went with a 01 VW Beetle, it served us well but after a few near death experiences in the PA winter months and the fact that it burned through tires like nothing we figured it was time to go back to something a little bigger, with AWD and decent ground clearance.

A few weeks back we stopped at a VW dealership and whilst walking the lot we came across a 2009 VW Tiguan, we grab a sales person and looked over the car, it was a factory demo with just over 2000 miles on it, always owned by VW of America and only title to them, it had 2 1/2 years of factory warranty on it plus it was certified by the dealer which gave it another 2 years, it comes with a protection package for the rims and tires, windshield and body, so if we wreck a rim or the glass cracks we can take it in for replacement / repair.

Its the top of the range SEL model so it has touch screen Nav, 7 disc CD changer, DVD, panoramic roof, because its an original demo model the only thing it doesn't have it the memory seats or leather and the reason for that is because leather and memory seats weren't originally offered as an option they were added at a later date but to be honest neither of us are concerned about leather we could have had them dealer installed but its already a $37,000 car new so we didn't see the point.

Now for the price... the dealer had only had it a few weeks, it was listed at $30,900 and they had just taken $1000 off when we went in they said they would give it to us for $27,000 plus throw in a set of all weather monstermats and because its an 09 we also get 3 years of free service... which was an offer we couldn't really walk away from because the cars already lost its first years of depreciation and if we wanted to sell it all the warranty stuff is transferable so we could easily make what we paid for it.

So here it is:

2009 Volkswagen Tiguan
2.0L Turbocharged engine with a not-to-shabby 200HP
Automatic w/ Tiptronic and Sports mode which seriously changes the shift points and throttle response
Touch Screen Nav.
DVD
7 Disc CD change
iPod Input
Panoramic Roof
30GB Media Drive
SD Card Slot
Sirius Radio


















Engines still a bit of a mystery because when you open the hood all you see it this:

Congrats man, that looks good. I have always liked VW vehicles. My only thing against them is that you have to take them in for all maintenance. Those things have to have specialty tools for everything, even oil changes!

Thanks and actually I was surprised to find that they just switched them to synthetic oil so now you only need to service them every 10,000 miles plus your first three years of service are totally free, so given that I can't really complain about having to take it to them

I would take one in the blue color they offer....however, I am partial to Subies

That would be sick in white, but ey, it still looks great
