I sold my beloved Q7 - 4.2 TDI. Amazing car, had pretty much every extra. Sold for 13500.

I am looking for a replacement, preferably another 4x4 and preferably with good high spec.

The Porsche cayene 2010 - 2013 catches my eye at around 20 to 25k. But, its the same as the Q7, same engine (well mainly 3.0 tdi) which i avoided when i went to buy a Q7, 2 less seats than the Q7 as well! Plus you're literally paying 10k more for the badge. So im not sure about that.

I want another Diesel. I really LOVE the NEW Q7 which is 34k minimum for a used 2015. Which is probably out of my budget. I want to spend 25k maximum. Perhaps I could wait till 2019 when the 2015/2016 plate Q7's will be (hopefully) 25k.

What is there?

Do you mean SUV, rather than 4x4?

Traditionally us Brits say 4x4. SUV is a more of an american term. But yes... a SUV if you wanted to be pedantic about it .

Sounds like your old Q7 would have been perfect. Perhaps you should have kept that, at least until you had made your mind up about what to replace it with!

I am a Brit. A 4x4 has four axle ends and all four are driven. It DOES NOT describe the size of vehicle!!!

Maybe stop chasing badges (that you resent paying more for)?

A 4x4 also normally has low range, SUVs do not, or the have a pretend one.

If I was chasing a badge that i'll resent paying more for, then i'd of bought the new Q7. I didn't, therefore im not chasing badges i'll resent paying more for.

It doesn't describe the size of vehicle these days, no. It used to. I guess im more old skool.

Can we move away from this unimportant subject now people? I couldn't give a damn if you called it a chelsea tractor, At least I'd still understand what you meant.

Infiniti QX70, quite rare and great specification. I bought one to replace a Porsche Cayenne and only have 2 regrets.... One, that I didn't change sooner, and two that's I never bought the 5 Litre V8 Petrol version. Although, the 3 Litre TD is perfectly good, just that I miss the V8 growl which the Cayenne had....

This is probably controversial but what about getting a Skoda Kodiaq. all reviews seem to say it's amazing, it has seven seats and I'm sure you could get one in budget and it would be almost new.
