The other thing is when an owner has made a jump to another make, your unlikely to get them back or if you do if will be several cars later. |

In my opinion (and its only my opinion so don't shoot me down) I think LR have made an error in their marketting, the DS seems to be more of a replacement to the Disco than the FL2 and thus there is now a huge void in their model range. I have always believed the Ewok should have been a replacement to the FL2 as it offered both the body styles of the original FL1 and in a similar size with teh 3 and 5 door options. LR desperately need a small 4x4 similar to the FL2 in their range and until they do I think a lot of potential owners will be going down the Q5, X3, Yeti, RAV4, XC60 route.

Perversely it could be that FL2 residuals will hold up due to the relative high cost of the DS. I can't see a high proportion of existing owners trading up but can envisage a high proportion of Disco 4 owners going for the DS and saving a bit of money. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

You could argue that about residuls, but I think your wrong.

Would have expected the one series to fall in value, it wasn't the best vehicle LR made where as the Freelander 2 is LR's most reliable vehicle. |

Disco Sport as a main car replacement perhaps, if they get the engines sorted out. It was a bad decision to release a new car with an old engine. Everyone knows if you wait another year, a more refined Eco engine is coming out.
