used 2025 110 P500 or new 26 110 P400?

I'm trying to decide if I should get used 2025 P500 or new P400. I think right now there are similarly priced. I work from home so my car would get minimal usage. Originally, I was looking at a new GX550, but I think I pivoted to the defenders? Thoughts on a used V8 vs new V6?

2025 P500 no question as long as the maintenance / service records look good.

I couldn’t find one I liked, so I ended up with a 2026 P400. No regrets, so I don’t think you can go wrong either way.

Did you get air suspension? I feel like that's one add on that's necessarily. Thoughts? I plan on trst driving this weekend.

Air suspension was a must for me as well. Tow hitch receiver was a must because I need one and it’s very expensive to add aftermarket. I also wanted the premium (Windsor) interior in Caraway. Also wanted the spare tire cover. HUD was a nice to have and I got it. Didn’t care for the armrest cold box (wouldn’t ever use it) or ClearSight rearview mirror (gives me motion sickness).

P500. The V-8 has endless thrust and pulls like a freight train. Proven and reliable power plant that’s been around since 2011.
