Is this a good PCP deal on a Freelander 2?

Newbie just wanted your expert advice on my potential membership of the landy club! Went to a LR dealer today and discussed this potential deal on a new Freelander 2 XS Manual:

Deposit £6K, 15,000 miles a year, £263 PM, GFV £10712

I think this equates to a £2k discount on list price. I'd prefer to buy from a LR dealer but know there are cheaper lease deals out there.

Any advice would be appreciated!:confused:

Read the small print carefully for any clauses which could catch you out, (especially if you plan to use it off road), such as excess mileage charges and what they class as 'reasonable wear and tear'; this phrase has a real ambiguous meaning, so it is possible that you could get massively billed for rectifying paint scratches, damage to the underside etc.
This will particularly apply if at the end of the usage period the dealer values the car at less than its GFV; despite the fact that they have to honour the GFV, they will try to recoup their loss by billing you for all sorts of things, so be very careful.

Why do people assume that someone who wants a Freelander would really like a Defender.
They are different vehicles. Most Freelander owners would hate a Defender, that doesn't make them bad people.
 
Why?
I'm a lover of all Land Rovers, why shouldn't I use a piccy of my first one?
 
ere..........aint pcp where yer never actually own the car???? fer likes of peeps who will never get credit??
No, it's where the monthly payment is based upon offsetting the depreciation of the car rather than just paying off the amount borrowed, hence the final value figure being close to market value at the time the contract ends.

OP doesn't mention the length of this one though? I personally would be wary if it is (ie. 4/5yr) as you put yourself in a bad position in the first few years.
 
I have bought two new HSE Freelanders and two 110 doublecabs and its one neg thing I would say.

watch yer back, and check yer pennys. but on the positive side, its great having full cover for 3 years at a time. I might be going back for another one, but I can not make my mind up yet, so am just chilling.
