We have a 4X4 and the economy is the price we pay for having a tug that can do the job. I suppose it depends how big your caravan is and whether you need such a big car. I have no experience but I have heard that 4X4's in good condition and low mileage are fetching reasonable prices. That might because there are not that many big 4X4's around unless you are prepared to pay mega bucks for new.

We too have a 4x4 But I have the advantage of not working in fact we only use the car twice a week in winter so fuel costs are not that bad I have noticed though even some 2ltr cars towing are only getting around 25 mpg well I get 23 towing 1800kls+ and around 27 solo and its up to the job

I think modern diesels will still sell

I think it may be the dealers are selling the idea that this winter will be as bad as last and that we should have a 4x4 to cope with it . I notice the prices have risen , especially on small 4x4 like the CR-V . They could be smelling a good profit maker based on fear of snow and ice .

Jeff I can only think that your sons vehicle was way over priced. Yuo will sell anything at the right price.

When I sold my pajero in january this year Ididn't even advertise it  Iwas intending to sell it in the summer but a neighbous friend who knew that it would be up for sale asked me about as he had been top see several around the country and all had problems some seriou so he was very glad to get a quality one close to him so I think if its ok and priced right it will sell without any problem and after the last two winters that is possibly why there are so many on forecourts for sale.
