Getting rare, 7 months NCT for €3,300 but you could get it for under €3K.
Not very desirable, but perfectly adequate engine, low enough spec, not perfect, but nice to get into in the morning.

Absolutely love that 7 series. Has a great shape and presence, before Bangle!!!
Duke's right re grille though.
Also, the photos are shocking bad.0 -

Nope sold it on again to a detailer up North about 2 years ago. It was actually never in better condition than the day I sold it, stupid when I look back on it. Plan is to have a 5 car garage in the next 3 years, full of E BMWs.

I went out to see this originally when he had it up for 4995 about 3 months ago. In great condition bar a few issues with rust on both drivers side doors, and a weird issue of the boot lid panels separating (though I think thats an easy fix). very tempted at this price but not sure if it will fit down the laneway for storage0 -

Would ye consider a Q7 to be a luxobarge? Anything to look out for?
Need a 7 seater with decent boot space, would like some luxury, don't mind the tax/fuel bills, coming from an is250

The boot isn't that big in them to be honest. If it was your main priority I'd go with an A6 avant.
They're a nice yoke all the same, they turn heads and thats a nicely spec'd example. I'm going to guess that either needs tyres or the wheels are already wrapped in the finest Triangle/LingLong/Woosung ditch finders - a staple of any cheap X5/7 series/A8/Q7/S Class etc.
It looks properly rough too, the photo doesn't really show it but that looks like a nasty mark on the back nearside arch
I'm 99% sure that orange warning light on the dash is for the suspension too..its in the right spot anyway IIRC

Thanks hadn't spotted the arch. The 7 seats is my neccesity, decent boot not huge. No room in our Zafira for baggage0 -

How so? Looks fairly basic to me.0 -

This is what a standard (SE spec) looks like inside
The above example has MMI Plus (sat nav, phone connectivity and DAB etc), S line seats - heated too, which isn't standard on these, nicer steering wheel (with gearbox controls I think), parking sensors and so on.
In fact as far as spec goes on a Mk1 Q7 it has pretty much everything you can have, bar maybe full leather.0 -

Ah OK, point taken. Although I meant basic in that the extras it has are fairly minimal, although when I look now what was actually available there wasn't much. I had always considered these a top of the range luxobarge SUV but seem far from it.0 -

That's why I want a 06 one for €4k 0 -

Are they reliable ? They’re basically the same as the Touareg arent they ? I’ve heard lads say they weren’t that great reliability wise0 -

Petrol E65 with 12 months NCT, €5k
Not much spec - heated comfort seats are a nice addition though. Looks like a nice example anyway0 -
