FREELANDER 2 XS 1 OWNER FLSH ONLY 32000 MILES. Ref 211228-287

We have a new car on order from Land Rover which is due for delivery end of January so we will be selling our FL2 towards end of January too. The car is genuinely like new and we thought we’d test the water on here to gauge interest as the car is far too good to go into trade and is a great car for someone looking for an immaculate FL2.

We ordered this car new from LR, it’s an XS with the following extras;

Factory tinted windows
Orkney grey metallic
Rear Spoiler
Full leather
Captain armrests
Rubber mats
Side steps
Mudflaps
Detachable tow bar (never used)

It is the TD4 with just 32000 miles. It has had 8 services at the main dealer and one service at an independent LR specialist. It has satellite navigation and DAB radio.

The outside and inside is unmarked and in new condition.

































Will see what market is like in a few weeks, but when compared to similar models currently for sale this car in this condition is easily worth £14000.

Hi,

might be worth including what type of spare wheel you have and when (or if) the belt and water pump has been changed, its due at 7 years but does have an impact on the value,
have you checked wbac as well take it you have a p/ex price if you want to use that

have you swapped back from a pvt plate as that reg is not showing any MOT search

 .
my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars!
But its now gone way up Norf

Very good price with good spec.
Good luck with sale.
BTW- what vehicle replaces it?

Thank you very much. I’m lucky enough to be replacing it with a new discovery SE r- dynamic

Hi, thank you very much. I’m happy to answer questions and queries from prospective and even post a photograph of the brand new alloy spare wheel and tyre in the boot This has never been used or even removed from the boot.

I know they lowered the cam belt and pump from 10 years to 7 years when the released the SD4 engine. But personally I have chosen not to replace this yet, as when LR made this engine they were happy to recommend it be changed at 10 years. I’ve also seen reports of people changing it at 60000 miles and belts still being like new. So I was content at 8yrs and 30000 miles not to have done it. Choice for any new owner to do.

I recently put a private plate on it (birthday present fir my son who not old enough to drive) just to have it on a car for him just now. This plate will be removed and the 13 plate will go back on it. It has always passed its MOT first time and without any advisories.

I take such care of my cars I always prefer trying to sell privately. I think part any LR dealer would just sadly pack this car off too auction.

Nice car for someone I don’t think I would have chopped in a FL2 in that kind of condition & mileage for a new Discovery

Can you confirm the correct registration number as SG13CYW does not show on the government web site.

See above, OP explained that:

Whilst it's great you're offering it to forum members, have you tried putting it on Autotrader?

Or getting an instant valuation on that site?

With used car prices up over 30%, it's a sellers market!

There's a black 13 plate HSE 190bhp with 36k on the clock going for £20K!

At an Land Rover dealership - perhaps that was a trade-in

Great car - good luck!

Trw999 not wishing to be controversial but I would want to confirm for myself the vehicles history and this can only be done with the correct registration number. Following which you can do a HPI check get the chassis number, engine number etc; also check, the Land Rover Topix online service history and Gov MOT history and any outstanding recalls etc; get a valuation from Glasses Guide and Cap, which the trade use to value vehicles.

I would just part exchange it, or sell to WBAC.

Manual gearbox will be a difficult sell to private buyers, unless really cheap.

£12k is a bit nearer the mark for a private sale.

Autotrader give Private Valuation as £14,190

It looks a nice car to me - and it comes with a known history. (if you ask owner) FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)
