2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

Safer to buy new if you want a black one
It is quite incredable if anybody would buy a wrecked FL2 (or any car wreck) on ebay - but then maybe it is really possible to buy and sell anything there 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

my old car was written off after a transit van took the front end off

I did a reg search and it still full insured and taxed, I wonder if the new owner knows about its history Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Buckingham Blue

God the black ones really mark up when they crash don't they?

A silver one would probably have a slight scratch that showed in some lights.......

I like the way they've tucked the drivers airbag back in all neatly and folded back the steering wheel cover as if it's good as new

looks like you get away without any new glass too, I hear polythene is just as good Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Some larger companies that run large fleets of vehicles only insure Third Party Fire and Theft.
I think they find it cheaper to stand the risk themselves.
Therefore when a write off does occur, the vehicle is merely sold off by that company through the trade, and they just get whatever residual amount they can for it.
Just goes to show that even an HPI check may not tell the whole story.
Does anybody know whether they still reshell vehicles such as this these days or is that considered uneconomical?
