Question from her :- why is it a good idea to spend £20+k on a 2002/3 g4 when you can get a 12-18 mth old xs for the same money? Help needed to argue this one! What will a g4 be worth in 5-10 years time compared too an xs? Etc The best heating engineer this side of the Mississippi!!

So your 20k 2012 110 is now 28k. Makes the G4 with all the kit on, all be it older but may have less miles, with confirmed G4 Challenge history, much less likely to depreciate as much as the 2012 one. There are very few G4 Challenge vehicles anyway so they are very rare rare in comparison.
