Freelander - which one ?

(1/3) > >>

Kenny:
Been to look at some cars today, basically to trade in the Discovery V8 (M). Saw a couple of freelanders. Both on a V Plate, a 1.8 one and td4. Both with 5 doors.

Don't know a great deal about these, worthwhile ? The 1.8 was about £7k and the Td4 £10k. Offered £1,400 trade in on the Discovery :(

What sort of economy do these do ?

TIA

Damian

My advice at this time is :

Avoid buying secondhand Freelander so close to launch of new one.

I got £4500 for my 2001 V6.

Cat (the LPG V8) is worth more than £1400 on the normal market.

Sell Cat privately and buy a non-LR :-)

the 1.8i petrol can be troublesome,allthough some people have had no problems,the td4 is the better one(see PARKERS car guide)mind you 10 k for a v reg is very expensive,I paid 8000k for a y reg 2001 low millage with full history,hope this helps

Steve ray:
Td4 everytime !

Just 'knocking about' = 31-32mpg, but much better on a run
£10K for a Vreg is VERY expensive - even for ES trim

Avoid the 1.8 petrol - dirt cheap to buy though, but potential problems. My mate's selling a 2001 soft back 1.8 cos he's just got a new job n co car (local 4x4 dealer doesn't want to know the Freelander cos its the 1.8)!
He's after c.£5K for it

V8MoneyPit:
We paid £9k for a 51 plate 3dr TD4 with 35k on the clock. Air con, alloys, electric windows, electric mirrors, etc.

It is fair to say the 5 door will fetch more, but 10K for a 'V' does sound a bit on the steep side. Especially for a petrol. TD4's will always hold a premium over the petrol.
