Default Get my D4 on Wednesday

Hi Guys,

Haven't been on for a while - used to be more active on the Jag forums, when I had the XJ's, as more little niggles used to pop up.

My D3 will be 4 next month, and whilst it has been absolutely brilliant for the last 18 months of my ownership, I fancied a change.

I spotted a 11 month old "12" plate D4 SE Executive LWB with about £10k of extras on the Audi approved website and after seeing it last week did the deal, so get it on Wed.

It is Phantom Black with privacy windows, black comfort seats and is mint. There are so many gadgets on it, I am sure it will take me weeks or even months to understand them all.

The ride was sublime and better than both my D3 and my previous XJ's, so can't wait now.

Cheers
Mark.

That sounds brilliant. Does it have Adaptive Cruise?

I've been looking for a D4 for a while but just haven't seen the right one yet.....

Unfortunately no ACC, but it has got the following:-

TV
Bose
Adaptive lights
High Beam Assist
Piano Black Inlays
Extended Leather Pack
Comfort Seats
Electric Rear seats (full movement, not just lumbar)
Rear Vanity Mirrors
Rear additional Reading Lights
Parking System Advanced with Front/Rear and side Cameras
Phone Prep High with Bluetooth and Google
Privacy Glass
Power boot
Side and rear electric blinds
4 zone climate with front/rear heated seats

and probably some bits that I have missed...

Yes, as soon as I wash and polish it, I will upload some photos. I the meantime, I have a couple from the dealer - how do I post a photo or two?
