A new VX in Australia goes for say $50k. A used VX goes for $30k. A new Sport goes for $70k. A used Sport goes for $30k. Those sports look good,but really,i dont see them holding value for long. VX is bullet-proof. Sports is ?? Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

@ Kularaha,i forgot to mention that you cant compare the VX and the Range in terms of resale value. Offcourse we know the outcome
Im currently flirting with the idea of trading in my VX with a Maroon Toureg end of this year and for sure i wont add a dime !
Anyone who knows a thing or two about a Toureg ? I like the way it purrs......... sweeps me off !

@kularaha,someone pliz help me out here...Did u just say the VX is bulletproof?
wow! if u aint a chiq,there's no excuse for exposing urself like that! No car comes with bullet proofing! None! U have to ask specifically for it! jeez!
When all is said n done,the vx n sport dont play in the same league:like sm1 sed,u can take ur vx to ur premio mechanic...thats not wot a range owner wants.

Guys, Its an insult to compare Prado with VX and again while most of the users have shared experiences and choices/preferences,nobody is talking about safety - both passive and active safety. Choosing one vehicle over another one is dependent of many factors,not just re-sale value,fuel consumption and or easy of maintenance. For those who do not consider a vehicle as luxury,they rate safety highly and this dictates their choice of the vehicle. Thats why Vitz,Premio,Prado or whatever you call them,do not appear of the choice of what to buy. For me,safety has always been top most requirement. "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

cardinal surely i seem to be the only one who does not understand your question or what it is that you are trying to compare.
Look at it this way,what is the diference between Merc E 280 and E 500
or Lexus 300 and harrier 450.? Prado is a landcuiser and so is VX. The diference is the engine capacity. while prado is probably V6,VX is a V8

the debate is good....very insightful.
One mentioned the Audi Q7 - now that is someone who knows the best thing about spending ur hard earned millions and enjoying it. Whereas there are literally tens of thousands of VXs and nearly 4 times as many Prados,you will be lucky to see one Audi Q7 in a month! Unless it's ur neibas,or workmates or parking mates or something like that. Manze especially these white VXs!!
Note though,I already mentioned earlier that I like the two cars,would love a VX for now,but only for the while it takes me to take to land the ultimate 4-wheeler - not been mentioned anywhere on this forum - ever!
Why hasn't someone introduced the only challenger to the Rover's,VX's,Cayyenes,tuaregs etc - The MercedesG wagon series!! Seriously,has anyone got experience with one of these? No need to get the huge petrol engine one,just get the modest GL350 Diesel. No hurry,cruise along and wacha wameze wembe na wanyongwe na mate!!
As I keep saying,there is far too much value to be gained in the under-rated. Nikipata G wagon yangu in 10yrs time,who else will have one?
