Out of interest, I got a quote for my FL2 from We buy any Car....figure came in as £600!

How many has yours done ?

Just check mine too (64 plate 58k miles)
WBAC £11500
Motorway £12800

which pretty follows the trajectory of a log curve based on a 70% retained value at 3 years.  Jules

First registered Oct 2009, 2010 Model Year, 193,734 miles on the clock, which I guess is what accounts for a "we buy any Car" quote that is essentially scrap value. 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
Previously:
2010 MY FL2 TD4e GS - Now gone at 199,500 miles, about 135,000 of them mine.
‘93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW
‘87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol
‘83 110 CSW V8 - best ever!
Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch)
Series III SWB Diesel

Now I can exchange my licence I am looking about for a Freely2, they are fairly expensive out here, 15K€ for a 2013 HSE SD4 with 90k miles and a 2007 HSE fetches 8500€ for a reasonable 150k miles. If I can't get a Freely2 for a reasonable price I'm going for a FFRR or RRSport V8 diesel all three are cheap on tax at about 150€/year the only problem is insurance the SD about 530€ but need to check the V8's but at 80 and low annual mileage I think I can afford it, motoring is certainly cheaper out here as is council tax my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

I like the Volvo too . My friend has one, its very nice to ride in.

Im afraid I shall give JLR vehicles a miss as a simply dont want to take the risk of having a vehicle from a manufacturer that consistently resides at the bottom of the reliability ladder. Jules

I think ours is about a 110,000 can’t remember of top of my head.

My FL2 VED is up from £275 to £320.
20% increase - life could be worse I suppose Jules

Traded my 14 plate FL2 XS with 75k miles for about £8k in November. This was based on WBAC valuation at the time so prices have dropped partly due to ULEZ I guess. Car has now appeared on auto trader for £11999 at a garage in Essex.

By contrast my DS P250 MHEV MY20 VED is £570 for the next couple of years and insurance £650 (which is pretty good considering that people in some areas with LandRovers are being refused insurance or getting silly 4 figure quotes. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

I will keep the FL2 as it is the best car i have had and yes i hate paying extra tax but the car does about 10k per year, tows trailers well and is pretty good off road and is safe.
There is nothing out there that i think meets the above spec and i also service it myself which saves around £600 per year.
If i didnt use the FL2 as it was designed to be used i could get a eurocrap car and be like everybody else and regret every time i see a FL2 passing me by thinking about what i had got rid of.
