Default 4.2 FSI Q7 ....advice on purchase

OK... so after owning D4s for a while now and my current S8 being just shy of 700bhp and 1000nm. ...the time has come for a family barge.

I am hopefully purchasing a new property soon. And so the lavish luxury of the S8 must go. But how do I move on without feeling deflated that the end of my 10 years of glorious A8 S8 ownership has met it's demise?

I basically have expectations of the Q7 being A8 like...but I know it's far from it. And further more...does it even compete with a range rover? If I am going for a 4x4 I need to know it's not a saloon in a fancy frock and there is some substance behind the legend of quattro. The range rover has always had glowing off road reviews and so I am left torn between them.

I should point out that my budget is top end of 13k as I need the money out of the S8 for the property purchase.
So far I've seen a 4.2 FSI with double glazing,rse, leather. Pan roof, TV etc... for circa 9k and 90k on the clock on a 56 plate.
I've also seen range rover vouges for similar money..

Any advice would be amazing.

Merry Christmas all
Ian
