Hi
We've been doing a fair bit of research into selling our 54 Renault Modus in order to purchase a previous generation Freelander. I've been advised on what to avoid etc. but would appreciate some experts opinions.
With the Modus at an approximate value of £4500 we're looking to get a Freelander at that cost or less, as we are going to have to increase running costs elsewhere.
The model we are fixed on so far is this one on eBay for the following reasons:
- LPG so half the running costs on fuel
- 3 door so the roof can be taken off on the odd occasion through the summer
- 18 Month Land Rover Parts & Labour Warranty
- New engine with only 4k miles on it and 5 year guarantee
- Enhanced head gasket (which was where many of the problems seemed to arise from) and new cam belt.
- Base engine and spec - cheaper insurance (insuring two under 25s on it)
I'm having another conversation with the insurance company today but wondered if anybody could give any opinions or view on it? Would we be okay to go for it? What do you think?
Many thanks in advance
Chris
