My searches have been a bit dismal. I got really excited about that pre-facelift with the extended leather. The dash and doors are gorgeous. Too bad the vehicle was beaten. What a waste.

And I'm going to have to be straight up honest. I've wandered a bit and cast an eye at Touaregs TDI's now....... and even the odd Cayenne diesel. Cayenne is just much better appointed and built Touareg that's not a whole lot more money. But it's interesting to note that the Touaregs seem to be more pricey compared to equal BMW x5's of the same vintage.

Anyways the search continues. Oh..... and I crossed the line one other time. 2014 Audi A8 diesel. Talk about gorgeous inside. And in the same price range as the Touaregs. Crazy. Too bad insurance on it is well over $2000 more a year. Crappy......


Still trying to find at elusive X5 that's equipped the way I'd like it. The planets just are not aligning right now.
