Idly surfing the net looking at used cars, came across this beauty.

Absolutely gorgeous, my ideal spec.
Price is a bit OTT and not ideal that it's only ever had 2 services despite being 12 years old now. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

2014 Orkney grey Freelander SD4 GS.

the lack of oil changes is a worry

Looks in lovely condition……..ex LR car as well…..I used to go past that garage nearly every day when I was commuting to BHX…..car looks very well looked after …except as bobtail4x4 says…lack of oil changes is a worry…..especially if it’s been used for very short trips……seems possible because the rear brake discs look, from the photos,worn the same as mine at 160k mls….!
It’s tempting but I would have to add £14k to value of my same-spec, one year older car to buy it……
Would have been good to buy from private seller though……… .. FL2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto MY 2012— current
D2 TD5 HSE Man MY 1999 470kmls….gone 2014 ….lovely engine..chassis rotten
D1 300TDI Man MY 1996 56kmls….gone 1999…D2 much better
Wife’s FL1 1.8P MY 2001 32kmls …gone 2007…has Mini since.

The rear disks look more like mine did when I changed them at 40K miles and the fronts look like theyve already been changed to me.

Its been serviced twice - some time prior to 2016 and then in last year.

Looking at the MOT history : its done less than 1000miles per year for last 6 years

Lovely spec. Not keen on the price though.

Caveat emptor Jules

Would it have had the ten yr service done and the haldex? would not be surprised if it had not, £20k for a 12 yr old obsolete car that is not ULEZ is OTT. But I do like it. 2013 FL2 XS.

If this was £15k with a timing belt and waterpump change I'd be quite tempted but can't see that amount of discount being achieved.
You'd have problems getting a decent value from insurance company if that was involved in an accident and written off. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Its £11k overpriced

I think the seller must be reading our forum. The advert says cam belt and water pump changed at last service...... I am guessing it did not previously lol

Hope he continues to read it and reduces the price! Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

If you were to spend £20k on that it's £20k you will never see again. Dealers seem to think there are people with more money than sense, sometimes they are right, 2013 FL2 XS.
