2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Tambora Flame

Is that 37979 euros? That is almost $56,000 U.S. dollars. Are they that much more in Europe? I can get a fully loaded 08HSE for 39,000 dollars.

The 08 HSE and the 09 HSE aren't really different I didn't think at least here in the states. I wish the door handles were black too.

$39k would be £20k over here at current rates. That gets you the base model or an 18-24 month old HSE.
An HSE is around £31k new from memory so $62,000.
All smoke and mirrors though with exchange rates.
I looked at moving to the US a while back. I could sell my house here (befoere those overpaid and under brained brokers screwed everything up ) sell the cars, buy all the same in the US - have no mortgage, pocket $200k in change, take a lower stress job and relax! 07 Freelander 2 TD4SE Tambora Flame, side steps, privacy glass, mud flaps, boot liner and a tow bar. Ok it's the Wifes but she lets me drive it occasionally - if I've been good!

2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Nazca Sand

In South Africa all services and repairs are free for the first 100000 KM or 3 years. You only pay for diesel and tyres.

The free servicing is dependent on the region and even sometime the dealer. I have 3 years free servicing on my '08 model.

BMW's service goes that step further where they cover everything maintenance related including wear parts except tyres!! Then again tehre is quite a bit of premium on the price compared to the LR. Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!

"Thank you for contacting the Land Rover Customer Relationship Center. (USA)

At this time there are no plans to discontinue the Free Scheduled Maintenance for the LR2. "

I've heard this too

I've heard the same thing from our local dealer regarding the 09 models. And he told me it is on all LR's including the 90k range rovers.

Might be a very recent announcement. I'd rather have the 08 and get free oil changes etc, for 4 yrs.

I've heard it too

I've heard it as well... That's another $1-2k worth of saving

I'm debating between LR2 HSE and e46 M3

I've not owned a BMW, but I can tell you that I absolutely love my LR2 and have had virtually no problems with it.

All depends on the area/region/country, yes..........In Norway BMW has 1 year less warranty than LR (2 years to 3 years LR) and servicing is not included on either makes. However BMW does have an unwritten guarantee on certain parts that they will replace for free up to 100,000 KM's, however labour has to be paid for by the owner in most cases. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

Is that a debate really?? Surely it is a matter of needs........if you can't make the choice get both. I almost went for an M3 but picked up my Cayman S instead, but would definately miss my LR2 if I had to give it up. Once you've tasted GREY you'll never go back!
