hi all!!im new to this forum,curently im an owner of a Jeep TJ,but for reasons of taxes,fuel eficiency,and internal vehicle space,im considering of exchanging it with a used freelander '99 to '02.
Can anyone inform me of what i should carefully look in a Freelander and what are the most common problems they might have after these years of use from previous owner?I would appreciate any help!(forgive my english..im posting from Greece)
 
Hi guys,
I'm thinking to buy a 1998 Freelander with 2.0 L diesel engine.Price is 2500 pounds.What do you think for this diesel model.Thanks
 
TD4 are more expensive,I can't afford for the moment.Do you think the price is good.It's a private seller,no warranty.Any known common problems for L engine?How many mpg in town?
 
personally i wouldnt touch ANY freelander that doesnt have a warranty unless yu have loadsa free dosh.

If they go wrong (when) they cost a fortune to put right. Having said that the doozils are best and yu mite be lucky.:rolleyes:
 
I become disappointed with your answers and I'm staring to change my mind.So these Freelanders aren't as good as they look?I don't want a vehicle to spend much money after.I need something reliable because I travel a lot.What do you suggest,not to buy?

If you want reliable do not buy a freelander. Yes I know someone will come on here and say "I've had mine for ages done zillions of miles in it and never had a problem" They're spwany lucky buggers and the gods are smiling on them. For most freelander owners the story is completely different. just read through the posts in the freelander section and see the sort of repair costs that are been quoted and the frequency of those posts then go through the other sections and see the difference. ( the RR section might be similar. But I don't go down there very often)

You haven't said exactly what model (Xdi, XEdi, wtc), how many doors or the mileage. Assuming an Xdi 5 door with average (90K) miles a private seller should not be asking for anything over £2K. £2500 therefore sounds a bit steep. PM or post the exact model details and I can gove you an exact value.

Cheers
