Getting a new car

Groundhog · 14th December 2016, 17:27

Well as I'm not getting any younger and my back and neck are getting worse, I think the time has come to bid farewell to my 75. I will be going to view a 04 Land Rover Freelander Auto tomorrow. And if it looks as good as the advert I will be buying it. Depending on the trade in price the 75 will go part ex or I may try and sell it private.

Here's a few pics,

Make sure it has two keys Ray, and sadly I'm tied up tomorrow......so I won't be able to tag along

Brian

Should have looked at the pictures

The Freelander looks stunning, good luck and I hope it serves you well

I will bear in mind what you told me to look out for.

So now you can plough the fields properly

Hope it turns out ok for you Ray

Looks lovely and clean, and very low mileage. Check underneath that the propshaft is there. Some take it off so as to disengage the four wheel drive in order to hide problems. The dealer may be initially unaware it has happened, as was the case with one my company went to sell once!

Never thought of that Ronnie,

If I buy it I will come down and give you a go, maybe convert you to diesel

Thanks for that Simon

The garage deals in quite a few 4x4s and have assured me everything is in order.

Looks very nice. Doubtless you know the usual VCU checks and all that so won't repeat them here. Got one of them here funnily enough - I cleaned the Hippo this afternoon and gave it a tootle round the block.
