They are cheap these days, seen a couple for about £7000, mostly the 2.5 diesels but one V10 for £9k. Glad I never took the hit on depreciation.

I bet they've gone up in value after this week!

Will be a sellers market in the next couple of weeks, happened last year,

I paid in October 09 £3300 for a Land Rover Discovery and sold it back to the same dealer, end of march 2010 for £4300, just about covered mt diesel costs

SWMBO got a new car at the weekend and I was speaking to the salesman about how he was doing. they'd sold loads of 4x4s over the phone without them even been driven. He said the book prices for 4x4s have risen this month.

He's taken 9 bmws in the last week everyone swapping for 4x4. He had a nice 330d sitting just come in. I'm having a look when SWMBO gets hers.

Some of the later big 4x4s shed value at an alarming rate. Don't think road Tax/VED of about £450 helps either...

£200 even on my poxy lack lustre 1300 petrol engined Jimny!

It's panic buying. Bread, milk and 4x4s.

They'll all be up for sale in April after the vat + duty + something nasty in next budget.

'Experts' reckon that a 2wd car shod with the correct winter rubber is more likely to get you through the snow and ice than a 4wd with standard tyres...so they say.

Drive that 330D back off the forecourt with some winter tyres on it. Will then out perform most of the 'SUVs' mugs buy with 19/20/21 inch performance spec road rubber on them. Quite amusing by all accounts - well it is to me anyway

Compared to a performance 4x4 on summer/sport tyres they are probably right. I'd rather have a 2WD (preferably FWD) with proper winter tyres.

Glad Land Rovers come on sensible all-season tyres as we've had no problems at all in recent weather.

Not yet, prices still defying gravity despite £1.20+ fuel :(

The LR Discos I'm looking at still £20K
