l know what the answer will be on here, but l'll ask anyway!
I've currently got a 2022 Defender 90 Hardtop and (arguments about whether or not it's a "Defender" aside) it's an awesome vehicle.
However, today l've been offered effectively a swap for a 2015 110 XS SW
This Defender has only done 24,000 which is 2,000 less than my new one.
The chassis is the best l've seen, and the bodywork l can't fault.
l've no idea of the long term value of a 2015 Defender bought today at £40,000.
l imagine if it was looked after it would always be worth at least £20,000 where the new one will eventually be worth maybe £10,000 or less.
What has started to bother me is the repair costs on the new one, although mine has been faultless so far.
lf l keep it l would have to take out a warranty.
The old model has faults but they're rarely that expensive to put right.
