£14,999 for a brand new freelander?

hi all,

i've read in the Sun Motoring suppliment that the current 2 litre diesel is being discounted by £5,000 in expectaton of the new model coming out.

My dad is looking to buy a new (brand new) 4x4 and we are looking at options.

has anyone heard of this offer? the paper doesn't say whether its a nation wide thing or if its just one dealer.

any info/help/advice greatly appreciated.

Not sure of exact figures but I know there ae some deals to be done on Freelanders at the moment - I played 3 dealers off against one another and got over 5k off list price off mine - they just kept on undercutting one another - in the end I didnt go with the cheapest either, - i gave the three dealers my spec' requirements and told them when i wanted to make a decision by, Hunters in Guildford came in middle at 25GBP more than my local dealer, but they went the extra mile in terms of getting me the info i required. Bushbury in Wolverhampton lied to me by saying that they could retro-fit cruise control for 250GBP and only admitted that this would not be covered by the warrantywhen I asked for it in writing, my local dealer, Stratstone in Stourbridge started off by offering me a 5 month old ex-demo for more than the cost of a new one - it was only when i started putting other dealers prices in front of his nose that his prices started getting more reasonable, by which time I felt i could not trust the salesman - he got proper arsey with me when i said I was going for a dealer that was 25GBP more expensive as well!!! Unsure if I will be getting any warranty work done there

ffs they will be giving em away next

thats way they are called FREE landers

i thought that was cos the running costs were nil whern they are on the back of the breakdown truck

and you can recoup some dosh by selling it on ebay for 3 grand in 3 yrs time.

i had a bad dream last night i bought a freelander and i was happy with it

its called a nightmare.

think i will keep my disco less to go wrong and when it goes wrong big hammer and a good kicking

its called a freelander cos it spends its life on a recovery truck so therefore its free of land, them thar boffins at landrover knew what they were doing

is that the same boffin who designed my aluminium door skin and stuck it onto a steel frame?

no that was just an idiot

the barstard.

i think that was the boffin that patented leaking sunroofs

thats a bit too close to my lad yesterday on the quad

how is the lad is he ok

Getting back on topic, I saw an "S" reg Freelander hard back today for £4500. Not sure on exact model as I was storming past in my V6. Nice when she goes

yeah, he's fine, but i am just an irresponsible ****ing idiot that can't be trusted with my own kids, apparantly

like mark says, back to the topic, a t reg went thru the auction for 3750 last week but it was a 1.8 ****ter
