ARE THEY WORTH THE $40000
MY DAD IS INVESTING IN ONE AND I THINK THEY JUST LOOK GOOD BUT DO THEY HAVE POTENTIAL LIKE THE SIERRA DO?

THEY DO HAVE NICE WOOD GRAIN IN THE INTERIOR! WHICH IS A BONUS
GOOD COLOUR RANGE AS WELL!

They're good but you have to put a grunt engine and twinoverheadsuckmeoffs on straight away or else it'll roll over
Seriously would only be good for beach/ light fire trails and would have no aftermarket bits available.
I've only ever seen one in the bush and it got a lift home with RACQ from memory

I find it really hard to understand what the hell you are talking about sometimes. take a breath and type a bit slower.
As to are they any good, basically they are a Grand vitara but bigger so their approach, departure and ramp over angles are worse. i have seen a couple offroad and their only limiting factors were the angles I mentioned. they should be just as reliable as any Suzuki so generally pretty good. For light duty camping touring stuuf they will be fine but as a potential hardcore vehicle I wouldn't bother, alot of money to waste trying to turn one into a comp vehicle.
maybe he should get a snorkel, no wait a better idea, a mean bullbar and a port and polish that would make it a cool 4wd

No.
2xJimney's would be a better option.

If you've got 40K to burn and want something to take offroad i think you would be better to spend it on something with front and rear solid axels rather than an independent front end.
i.e. a patrol.

40k = 15k for a tough zook and 25k for a boat, mortgage, beer, hookers, chrome tuxedo

I've got one of those chrome tuxedos - and i should probably point out that you won't get much change from that 25K if you get one
