Gents,
Long story short I’ll be ditching the company car and buying my first privately owned ‘daily driver’ in twenty years after Christmas and would appreciate your advice.
I’ve narrowed it down to a 2016/17-ish, c.30k miles VW Touareg or Mercedes 350 GLE.
I’m aware that Volvo XC90’s can be had for similar money but to be honest I just think it’s a lot of car to lug with a 2.0 litre engine, although I’m massively open to correction!
I’m also aware that both the GLE and VW have recently been replaced but that’s not an issue, and I’m looking at a budget of c.£25k which rules out the newer models anyway.
I do need 4WD as I work in construction and waste management and often carry out site visits in the middle of fields/unmade ground etc: it’s nothing that demands a Landy but I do need 4WD and I also have arthritis in my hips so I much prefer getting ‘up and into’ a car rather than struggling to get ‘up and out of’ if that makes sense?
Your thoughts and advice very much appreciated, thank you.
