What to look for when buying a Freelander? - Land Rover Forums

I've found a 04' Freelander SE with 29k on it. I'm probably going up to look at it on Saturday.

Just curious what all I should be looking at when I go considering the cars age to mileage ratio and anything else considering. I do love rovers and the chance to own a low mileage one and join the community is mighty tempting.

Something else.
Don't buy a Freelander, odds are very high you'll regret it. They are very prone to dead engines.

X2. I know they lokk kind of neat, but they are not a smaller version of a Discovery. They are a whole other animal, and not that great of an animal from the reviews and stories I have seen. Basically an attempt to get into the smaller SUV market with the Land Rover name, but does get it done.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts that I pretty much had. Time to look for another car.
