Maybe I am a bit late but just found this on Land Rover News from 6.oct.
http://uk.medialandrover.com/php/news.php?news_id=291 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
Stornoway Grey with Ebony Black Pleather, Clear Indicators, Body Side Mouldings etc.

it states the improvement in relation to the "out going model" .... have we missed something .... Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!
Company cars ... a thing of the past - May 2013.

all manual fl2s get the system so therefore previous manual models are outgoing. Surely this will cause a sales slump in the months prior to the launch of the system? At work

I saw a Fl2 SE e today

parked outside enterprise rental car, might have been a test vehicle  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I think you'll find that the green e is the enterprise logo not anything to do with a greener engine.

Its soon 1st November not 1st April  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Not got an official launch date as yet but will keep you all informed. We would guess that it will be available in small numbers initially, therefore as mentioned above the deals are likely to be substantially better on non stop-start vehicles.

Will keep you all posted on timing, spec's and prices etc.

Thanks for the info James,

I'll be looking to replace mine in June 2010...(Local dealer not customer focused enough for my liking), so might consider a weekend trip to London around that time  ______________________

That would be great! Everything can be done via phone, scanner, email, tinternet.......... oh, except actually collecting the new car!!!

We'll have to put a date in the diary!

It's on a PCP at the moment so don't know what the scoop is with trading it in with a different dealer, perhaps you could talk me through it so to speak  ______________________

Dave,

You can trade your current Freelander at whatever dealer you like. You could even trade it in for another brand (not that you would want to!).

At the end of a PCP (assuming that it definitely is) you have 3 options.

1. Hand the car back and pay any excess mileage charge and possibly for any damage.
2. Pay the final payment and keep it.
3. Trade it in using any equity that you have as all or part of the deposit on the next one.

For example. GMFV (Guaranteed Minimum Future Value) of £12,000 less say £15,000 allowance (what the dealer will allow for it in part-exchange) gives you £3,000 equity on the next one.

Hope this gives you a rough idea?
