Is it just me, or is £8.8k for a 2005 D3 with 93k on the clock cheap?!

Little bit cheap, but not got sports seats, so probably not sports suspension and it's a 3.0tdi.

Looks nice though.

the d3s have the adaptive suspension dont they (bags?) so this one wouldnt have the adjustible suspension to raise and lower it from in the car?

I much prefer the sports seats. I wonder how much the upgrade would be to them.....?

All D3s have air suspension, it's just the stiffness and height that is different between sport and normal (the MMI says if it's sport).

Sport seat upgrade wouldn't be cheap, but I think A8parts have some.

So its more worth my while just buying a sports in the first place?

From viewing the adds, is it just the seats that will give it away?

Nope.. it may have the 'sports' seats, but normal suspension (I think).

I like the sports suspension in mine, but I do drive it reasonably hard, but I think in normal operation, you won't notice much. I have heard reports of a lot of people preferring the normal seats over the sporty ones too.

I'd take a look at it if I was you and see what you think as it's all down to preference. If you can find a 'sport' at a similar price, then go for it, but I'd say the interior equipment will trump the suspension and that one did look like it had the proper toys in it. You want it to have TV (I think that was optional on low end), keyless go and doors are cool too.
