New Duster or used X-Trail?
I am planning on buying a 4x4 with a budget of £17k. A two year old X-Trail is top of the list but I'd like your view on whether a new Dacia Duster would be a better or worse investment. I'd be likely to change either car at 4 years of age, so would need two used cars for two years each or one new Duster for four years.

No reason not to go for the Duster and not even spend your £17k.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
