I was considering swapping my Sept 15 MY16 4.4 AB for a MY18 4.4 AB later this year. After 2.5 years my MY16 has nearly 50k miles on it and I want to swap while it retains a decent value.

Building on a couple of threads about being underwhelmed by the MY18 changes I've taken a look at the several pre-reg new MY17's that are being offered at c.£20k less than the same spec MY18. The difference to swap is £40k versus £60k for a MY18.

I'm very tempted to proceed with one of the last MY17's before they disappear. I think I prefer the look of the MY17 so where's the catch? MY23 D350 HSE

There isn't one - it's called depreciation on a premium car - go for it
But then again is a MY16 to 17 worth £40k - I'd be tempted to hang on a little if the car is all good 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Why would the difference be £40K to swap a used MY16 with fifty thousand miles to a low miles 17 plate? I'd have thought you could do that much cheaper. 2016 SDV8 Autobiography

To answer a couple of questions.....

If I keep mine there will be significant expenditure over the next 6 months on service, brakes, tyres and a new warranty.

A new equivalent MY18 4.4 AB is c.£110k

A new pre-reg MY17 (2018 registered) 4.4 AB is c. £90-95k

A 65 plate MY16 4.4 AB with 50k miles trade value is c. £50k - there a couple listed for sale by LR at c. £55k MY23 D350 HSE

Thanks for that Phil,

There's a nice zero mile 67 plate one at £88K and I'm sure you'd get it changed for around £35K

It would be really rude not to!!

Referring to Basil’s spot at £88k

Bill Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

Thanks Basil

I’m wanting a particular colour scheme and spec, which is probably costing me the extra £4-5k over the one at £88k.

I just missed out on one yesterday but found another that I am hoping to complete on today. Pics to follow  MY23 D350 HSE

Any update Phil ????

Deal done. Deposit paid. Pick it up next week

Very, very, very nice.

What colour are the wheels? What do I put here then?

Thanks.

The wheels are described as duotone on the web site. They look gloss black in the photo.

That is exactly what my next one will look like , FANTASTIC .

I think we have similar wheels - and taste - then:
