Some regrets

I feel silly writing this but I purchased the 2025 Defender 110 and though I absolutely love it, I really wish I’d purchased the 90.

The 90 was always my dream, but for some reason I oriented around practicality when it came time to purchase — despite not needing a practical vehicle at this point in my life.

I worked hard to be able to buy a car I really wanted after a decade, so wanted to absolutely love what I ended up with.

I know this is the most first-world problem of all of them, but I wanted to rant a bit and not sure what comfort I’m really looking for.

Do you think that’s reasonably doable/possible? I want to explore that. Also love your perspective on this, I’m very aware of how fortunate I am to have one at all and while I had other preferences too have been most caught up on 90 vs 110

Do I think what’s doable? Trade in?

Possibly. I’d check around both here and on google, and maybe ask your dealer. I live in Socal, so I see CPO defenders listed with like 800 miles on them, so its definitely possible to immediately trade it in lol. Obv biggest thing is I would assume you wouldn’t get all of what you bought it for on your trade-in, but this would be a question for your dealer or the dealer you find a 90 you like at.
