Hello!

I have moved to Abu Dhabi from the UK and i'm looking to get a Q7 but I could do with a bit of buying advice.

Nearly all cars here have a petrol engine (fuel cost isn't too much of an issue here), so that narrows down my choice to the 3.6 or the 4.2. Is there anything I need to look out for on these engines or on the car in particular? Because i'm just starting up here, it would have to be an early Q7 (2007) with around 80-90k miles on the clock. Nearly everything is automatic here too so is there anything to look out for on the gearboxes? How is the air suspension in terms of reliability?

I used to own a '05 A4 B7 1.9TDI and just before I moved out here I got a '13 A4 B8.5 Black Edition (I miss this!)

TIA
