Hello there.
Looking to trade in my A4 and purchase a used Q7 to accommodate my ever growing family! I have a couple of options and would really appreciate some expert advice / valued opinions on the best to choose.
First would be an Oct 2010 registered 3.0 TDI - the 240hp higher CO2 version - with a low mileage of 19k and great spec.
Second would be a Jan 2012 registered 3.0 TDI - the 245hp lower CO2 (lower tax) and better consumption version - with a higher mileage of 50k and a slightly lighter spec.
I am anticipating keeping the car a further 7 years at least. Mileage c.10k a year.
So my question really is, is there a better choice here? Is either engine a better reliability bet? Is the low mileage on the first a particulate filter issue waiting to happen? Is an extra 30k on the clock really much of an issue in the grand scheme of things? Would the better spec be a better choice? Based on knowledge or experience, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
