Good bits
Body work in very good condition for age
Interior is almost unmarked
Wheels in good condition, no flaking
Everything works
Pulls like a train (BAS remap)
Smooth changes (Gearbox flushed)
Car has been very well looked after at almost no expense spared
Looks very well for its age, from ten paces it looks like a new car
Bad bits
Rear parking sensors intermittent at the moment
Interior indicator alert too fast (think the resistors failed on the D4 LED rear lights) - doesn't bother me at all
Small mark on rear door (has been there since I bought it)
Small crease/crack on side bolster of drivers seat as seen in every D3
This is not a tatty example often seen at this age. A lovely car with a lot of the preventative maintenance done (compressor/epb/auto box flush/oil pump upgrade/egr blank) with the addition of a BAS remap which turns it into the car LR should have rolled off the forecourts.
Currently on a private plate but will revert to 08 plate prior to sale
Photos now added
D4 or Touareg beckons.
Now back to 08 plate and with brand new radiator today
Price: Looking for £6500

No leaky sunroof for one thing.
Gorgeous colour, but I’m slightly biased.

Agreed on colour, so Xs is the same spec as the old se ?
