I'm not sure if I understand your last sentence correctly. In the rules it says that you can choose a card from the discard pile at the **end** of the round you built the wonder. So you can even choose those cards players discarded for money in the same round.

<p>In Seven Wonders one of the the wonder abilities allows you to look through discarded cards and pick one to build for free. If you use this in your very last turn can you pick a card from Age III, i.e. can you pick one that has only just been discarded?</p>

<p>I guess similarly could you use it in the last turn of Age II to pick up an Age II card but that is not nearly as powerful.</p>

In Seven Wonders can you use the "Play card from Discard Piles" ability to play an age III card?

When you take the last turn, each player first discards a card and then plays a card. At this point when playing the wonder, you have access to the cards that were discarded for that reason.  
You also have access to all cards previously discarded, as well as the cards discarded that round.
