Default looking at 2009 A8L

long time audi owner. currently selling 05 A8. I wanted to know anything to look for on a 2009 that might be different than other D3s. Obviously I'll be checking out air shocks and other normal things. I won't be asking for documentation on T-Belt service but is anything specific to that model year?

What about the engine valve carbon issue? Is there any way to assess that?

Default Don't you think it's time to try something newer - like a D4?

Since the prices of D4 are dropping quite low now... The real massage seats will make you smile. Then again, it does look different from the beautiful, timeless D3.
