England 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Santorini Black

Mine was an ex-LR management car, bought it when it was 10 months old with 10,000 miles. The car has been brilliant, and only suffered from a few niggles that were easily rectified.

Well, it finally went back yesterday morning having clocked up just over 89,000 (virtually trouble free miles) in 2 1/2 years.

The driveway is looking strangely empty now Sad

I will know for sure within the next 2 to 3 days....

I'm very, very tempted with this one:

Very, very late pre-facelift HSE with 14,000 miles.

I like red/almond (Kosrae Green still my all time favourite though). It must be manual, full leather, almond and pre 2nd facelift, with sun roof preferred. Really like the idea of the decent sound system in the HSE too! I like the idea of there being something called a "sub woofer" beneath the dog in the boot too Laughing

Hate not being able to see it in person before pressing the trigger though!

What do you reckon then?

Thanks for the reply! I need a bit of a confidence boost here as the most I've ever spent on a used car before was £7,500 on an XM estate!

Yes, it's Firenze Red. I've got an old Triumph Sprint 900 (that I've owned for nearly 20 years!) in exactly the same colour!

It certainly looks very tidy! By late pre-facelift, do you mean pre MY13? Making it an MY12?

It certainly is tidy, the only faults that the dealer has volunteered is a little light denim staining on the right edge of the driver's seat and very light scuff on the front bumper that's easily within the scope of a little light T Cutting.

Yes, I'm thinking MY12, not MT13. It's purely down to personal choice, but I prefer more about the older car, than I do with the new one. Just one of those things Thumbs Up

I agree, I really like my 2011 HSE, and think it is a good spec. Hopefully we will be seeing some pics of this on your drive soon. Whistle

It's a real good looker. I like the red / almond combo a lot. ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...
