Default Wanted: D3 A8

Hi guys. New here, and looking to dip my toe into A8 ownership. So just wondered if anyone had anything for sale?

I have a budget of between £6500-7000. So hopefully looking for a facelifted example. Would prefer closer to 100k rather than 150k too.

Engine doesn't really matter so much. I'd live with the 3.0 TDI, but would prefer the 4.2 TDI (would be the ideal engine). Would also consider petrol's in the 4.2 or 6.0 variety. Not so keen on the 4.0 TDI or the 3.7 petrol if I'm honest.

Spec-wise, the ideal would be to have 3G MMI, but I think that'll be a tough push at my budget. As would B&O. But if an example pops up, then I'm in. Would also prefer LWB, but that is not a deal breaker. Being that I have 2 young kids to come with me most of the time, I'd prefer black leather ideally, as it might be easier to keep clean. But, again, not a deal-breaker.

I live in the North East of Scotland, but I am willing to travel (recently went to look at a car in Durham, have, in the past, flew to London for a car).

Any ideas on what I should be looking for? Where I should be looking? I'm scanning AT several times a day, as well as Gumtree. Also facebook groups, but they only really give a 100km radius, so it's difficult to know where to set the starting points to cover everything.

This did just pop up, but it doesn't seem to compute: https://www.gumtree.com/p/audi/2009-...tro/1282396938

That looks entirely too new, and well specced, to be that cheap. Maybe they don't know what they have? But, to me, it looks a good couple grand under-priced (i.e. I wouldn't have expected that to be so well in my budget). Of course, it does have cream leather, and the 3.0 TDI, and no LWB, all of which I'd rather not have, but the age and MMI, and MOT history on it has me wondering.
