Bali blue owners?

Just wondering if you bought yours second hand did you struggle to find it? I'm looking for one at minute and its like a wild goose chase! To be fair I'm on a tight budget plus the ones I have found are not the higher spec I'd be after.

Good luck

High spec, tight budget and Bali blue the odds are stacked against you.

My parents bought a GS in Bali blue when LR first launched the colour looked great but I don't think it was a common colour.

There is a member on here about to trade in/sell a Bali blue HSE if they haven't already done so Thumbs Up 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Specs/ budget might have to stretch but I'm not changing colour even if husband hates it! He's got his new vehicle so now it's my choice Smile
I thought I read someone was looking to get rid but I've no idea who it was....

It is a nice colour well worth holding on for, sometimes looks dark blue other times purple, similar to the Cadbury chocolate wrapper

Even further than the last one I found. Was all set to go get one and private seller informed me someone had phoned today offering more cash if they could come first! Lovely one too, privacy glass, spoiler, leather etc gutted is putting it mildly Sad

It took me nearly 3 months to sell a 2010 Bali Blue Freelander last summer!

That's exactly what worries my husband that no one would ever buy when we sell it!

United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 Metropolis LE Auto Firenze Red

I really wanted one of this colour. They do however seem to be very rare.
Having changed mine recently, going from Tambora Flame - I knew something about rarer colours.
I now have a black one - not my ideal choice, but I can't wait around looking for the correct car in the correct colour.

My dad has a RRS HSE in Bali Blue, looking to PX it for a new car soon.

Various dealers have offered £2-3k more than if it were black/white/silver ect due to the demand. Freelander 2 HSE Lux SD4 - Sumatra Black

United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Bali Blue

I have a 2011 SD4 HSE Bali Blue going in March but unfortunately as its a lease car im not sure if the dealer will have it back or whether it will go straight to auction (my last FL2 went straight to auction). Not sure you would want mine though as its been in the dealers six times this year (2 haldex units, diff bearing, diff pump, tension belt, oil leak)

Bali Blue is a love it or hate it colour. Admitably it looks purple on a dull day but on a bright or sunny day it looks absolutely stunning and its rarity certainly makes it stand out from the crowd. In almost 3 years / 40000 miles I have only ever seen 3 (yes three!!!!!) others on the road.

Good luck with your search - if you want me to give you the heads up on mine when its going back as to which way its going let me know Thumbs Up Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Bali Blue

I have a Bali Blue 59 Plate XS manual and love the colour, as others have said I have only ever seen a couple of other Freelanders in this colour. Seen a couple of Disco's and RRS in it too and they look lovely too, Bali Blue Disco4 HSE would be my car of choice (if I could stomach/justify the fuel economy!)

Interesting to hear that the colour attracts a premium when selling or trading in - not specifically planning anything to but I know that my other half would like an Auto so may be able to use the colour when negotiating if I go for a black/grey Auto??
