Hello all. I'm looking for a little reassurance/advice on a possible purchase. Never had a Land Rover before but, we are on the look out for a new car and I have stumbled across an 08 Freelander TD4 GS 2.2, with 100k on the clock. It's stunning inside and out, with not a mark on it!!!! It's got FSH and has just had a serviced by the dealer. It's not a car I ever thought I could afford to buy, or run. However this just sneaks into our budget at £7000. We have a caravan, so the tow bar is a bonus.
My issues are the cost of running compared to other cars? I know it's £270 for the test. Also their reliability, I have heard some issues with them? Although you hear that with most cars. Also, £7000, I think it's a great buy? Is there anything I should look for? As I have said, it's immaculate! Well, apart from a little surface rust on the inner rear wing, although not noticeable at all due to it being the inner part(I was looking at one the other day, which was exactly the same)
Don't want much, do I?
Thanks in advance, Danny
