Best way to sell my Freelander2

Hello all, my first time here and I’d like advice on the best way to sell my 2014 Freelander2 Metropolis?
I’ve been offered £8000 by two dealerships as a trade in price against a £16000 car. Is this the best way to go ? Any serious advice would really be appreciated. Cheers. Jeff

Other options are Autotrader, Ebay, Cargurus, or on here, depends if you wan't a quick sale or not? WBAC will give you the absolute minimum. 2013 FL2 XS.

Jeff,

You could always purchase an advert and put it on here.

Metropolis are rare at the moment. There's only 11 on Autotrader. Motorway is petty safe and usually gets a better offer than WBAC.

Good luck!

It's unwise to give reg numbers on social media as it allows (nationwide) cloning of your plates, and thus a chance to pay somebody's else's fines and penalties.

You may need to have a dash-camera to prove where you were, when someone with duplicated plates drive up the bus-lanes. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Auto Zermatt Silver

We recently disposed of a nice little 19 plate Suzuki Swift through the trade , after a week of time wasters and chancers from our Autotrader advert . The best price we got was by booking an appointment with Arnold Clarke . They were a full £1000 better than WBAC estimate , £500 better than the Motorway estimate . They looked over the car , took about 20 minutes and made an offer around £400 less than we thought it would go for privately . I decided to take the trade route after we had a kid drive the 38,000 mile car , serviced by the Suzuki Mechanic we know personally since new , then whatsapped his dad who listened to the engine and declared there was an issue with the top end and tried to lowball us . At that point we said thanks , best you go look elsewhere and sent him on his way . Then the people who didn’t turn up , the ones saying you’ll take £xxx won’t you , and half a dozen traders telling us the market was bad … yes of course it was . Once the trade has the car , your problems are over , no comebacks , no phone calls 2 weeks later . 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned !

Many thanks for sharing and the info. Never gave a thought regarding copying number plates as they are on public display 24/7 anyway, but will definitely take your advice. Cheers. Jeff

If you go back to the post you may still be able to use the 'edit' function to change whatever you wish, not sure how long after posting that is available. Failing that a moderator can be requested to delete it. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
