What was your honest thoughts on price ?

I can't see any options on it, and its a non sport 3.0 TDi so you'll probably struggle to get noticed unless the price is attractive.

Ideally, you want to be pitching it touch over whatever they are selling for on ebay - not what they are listed for - what they have actually bid up to and sold for.

So many people going lease now, the used car buyer market has shrunk massively and dirty diesels have taken a big hit too. And electric is getting traction.

I do agree that gumtree isn't really viewed as a serious car selling platform..... If an owner scrimped on the advert, did they also cut corners on maintenance for example.....

Autotrader has the best app and is a 'go-to' for a lot of people browsing for a car, Ebay has the best search facility. Pistonheads is good if you have something a little special that commands a premium..

I wouldn’t even look on Gumtree, don’t bother with eBay generally either as too much crap amongst the good stuff

There doesn't seem to be many d3s with 3g mmi. I assume that's a plus. Was keyless an extra ?

D3's all got 3G MMI in ~2009 when it was released, but the D3 ended in 2010 so the majority of D3's are older, and have 2G MMI.

Its a bit prettier, with a higher res screen, and has guaranteed SD card readers rather than hoping for the optional AMI on the 2G systems, but otherwise its just something that is expected on the slightly new cars. The Nav is quicker as its hdd based, but its a bit harder to update the maps as a result.

I'm fairly sure keyless was standard on the facelift.

Ebay does have some tat, but the search is very powerful.

e.g.

Audi A4 (cabriolet, convertible, cab, roadster) quattro -tdi -manual

Would give you all the A4 quattro convertibles, but not any that mention TDI or manual gearboxes....

bang it in a favourite search and get it emailed daily. Its far superior to Autotrader, which is a shame given their premium price....

Sorry I've taken this a little off topic....

My honest thought is the price is high. I concur with Ian.

I've been loosely looking for a while. My PF D3 is at ~177k and whilst a good buy for me at the the time, I've always missed my D2 S8 despite on paper the 4.2 D3 being about as quick it's never felt it, so I often cost A8/S8 ads.

D3's tend to be in the £3-8k range and yours is at the top of that, heck i've seen quite a few high mileage S8 D3's at the top range, though that tends to be a different purchaser!

I'm not sure if the 3L TDI is a bit more desired because of economy though I think a lot of people won't see it as an economy car regardless of the engine.

It looks nice and the mileage is fair, the colour combo is decent if not exciting, you'll probably be waiting a while at that price though!

However the big glaring error is the steering wheel shot, a quick dust would do wonders!
