Default Might be back again soon

Afternoon All
After 18 months away on the dark side driving a merc E350 I have itchy feet again and have been looking at a A8 3 litre CDI again as I miss the big beastie! I also need to rationalise my car collection (orders from SWMBO) so the old XJ needs to go which needs me really needing a decent sized saloon again.

The Merc has been faultless in fairness and totally reliable not one warranty claim in 18 months! but I do find it lacking after the A8 and the engine is very noisy around town which is a shame as it pulls like a proverbial train is quiet on the move and isn't too bad on the juice. Was easier to park though
Seems most of the D4's I have looked at don't have the spec lists of the D3's that were about when I was buying my previous D3 and many seem to be fairly standard SE spec's. I am trying to get a 2011/12 with around 20K miles one if possible as far below 30K as possible. I'd like Bose sounds memory seats Parking camera as a minimum not bothered with sun roofs and things I never use ! I prefer darker externals and lighter internals so the hunt is on now! Will look to hang onto it for three years minimum so I want the right car.

So the hunt is on, I'll report back if I see anything I fancy and perhaps get some thoughts from you guys on what to look/watch out for
Cheers Glyn
