Default D3 TDI wanted

As per the ad for my current d2 v6, I'm now starting a serious search for its replacement.

Budget of £4k for the right car

Dont have experience of the d3, so genuinely open to any helpful thoughts or experiences with the model options. Seems people favour the 3.0 but I am open to all models,

High spec is always a plus for me but again would welcome guidance as to the more desirable options to search for.

I would consider remapping the car providing the economy doesn't go south in the process!!

Appreciate people keeping their ears and eyes open for me and giving me the heads up on any potential purchases out there.

Thanks in advance, Paul

Good evening Paul, I think you'll like the D3, I know I enjoyed the step from D2 to D3 motoring

The V6 is great, always enjoyed driving the A4 with that power plant, and the D3 variant seems very popular. All I know is avoid the 4.0, it has well documented problems.

Good luck with your search

Hey big fella

Thankfully I diverted my initial search which was to be a BMW 730d in black with the white leather pack. Think I just had a fuzzy moment there!!

So, the D3 hunt is on....

Whats the real spec here? Feels like dealer talk for a usual spec car being punted as something more than it is? Maybe??

With a D3 you can get adaptive cruise control even on 2004 models a really cool option if you do a lot of motorway miles

Those stretched tyres and rusty discs would send me away screaming...

If it has what they say it has, then it is a 'very rare' model indeed, as it would be the only D3 with a factory fitted 7-speed transmission! Apart from that, there are lots of options missing, making it far from being 'fully loaded'.

Another fine example of dealers not knowing what they're selling, and nicking specs from other cars.

- It's not a LWB model
- As far as I'm aware, it's a bit like the other one you listed in that it is the only D3 with a factory fitted DSG transmission!
- The twin-tone seats I think were only an option on the S8

The likes of IT (Ian) is the person who can tell you everything about them, but in the meantime, you could download the A8 brochure from the D3 Tech Dump section, which will tell you everything about the standard and optional kit. Here is the link for the May 06 brochure: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...6&d=1430159608
