Lovely car. Barring the decadent options such as top extended leather and any Exclusive stuff, I'm struggling to think of what it's lacking in terms of spec.

As has been said, price feels a little high although not many 4.2tdi's come up and rarely that well spec'd so I think you may be waiting a while for the buyer but best of luck with the sale.

It's top spec for sure, but clocked up a reasonable mileage and is still an early 2010 D4 by anybody's guide book, which means it's 8 years old and has a lot of expensive toys to go wrong.

I've just read Paul took 15 for his, with less miles and a bit less spec which sounds about right to me for his.

Even if you add a grand for B&O, you can subtract it again for the extra miles and anyone seriously wanting to pay for all the rear seat toys are limo drivers wanting a lwb.

I would respectfully suggest a starting price of no more than 19995 but be prepared to wait a long time or take 10 to 20% less than that to secure a sale.

The D4 struggled to hold its value on a good day and the D5 launch won't have helped one bit....

Much as I'm not a big fan of the D4 S8s handling it's fast becoming an affordable bargain which again isn't helping the D4 'A' prices.

It's an awesome car. Possibly a one off, but sadly the UK second hand car market is a mess right now. So many people have switched to leasing the pot of people buying cars outright has shrunk, so has demand and values.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think Paul could have sold his for more if he hung around, it was a quick sale. I’m open to offers for now.

You are probably right, but one thing I have noted is the D4's either sell in a week, or stay on sale for a very long time and then reduce in price many times before disappearing (presumably sold)!

I chose the former, that isn't to say the latter is wrong, but do be prepared that ultimately you may get less by holding out

So the car has been up on ebay and autotrader for a while, lots of interest, but no sale yet, which means I'll have to adjust my expectations
I will take £16500 - i think it might get more, but would take longer than I'd like.

It has the top extended leather
Only thing it doesn’t have I think is the 2 rear seat option and exclusive stuff
