I saw a nice freelander2 with about 150000 clicks mainly expressway/highway work only . Is this too long in the tooth ,it is about 5 years old

I love my car, will I still love it at 150000 who knows, maybe won't have it till than. Freelanders are great cars, just comes down to asking price and if you know a good mechanic. As with any car with those klms, things are going to start to wear out, if full service history is not available I would say no.

Cheers

I added a little bling to mine today, a chrome tail pipe, hard to find for a diesel.

I thought the same however I bought mine with 127,000. It's now approaching 134,000 and hasn't missed a beat apart from your usual wear and tear items. My local mechanic has been able to service mine at a reasonable price, as long as its been looked after and at the right price, I'd say go for it!!

Mine's on 167,000kms, had it since new. I would buy it again. It's had a hard life, barely had a dealer service. I've taken it off road a lot...a real lot. It still goes good. On those kilometres I wouldn't pay more than low 20's

It has 132,000 only expressway work Sydney to Newcastle so I bought it in the low twenties. This will be fun

You won't be dissapointed! Mine's got a lot of km's too but no problems other than needing some new wiper blades :)

Hi I haven't taken it off road as yet to busy will do in Tassie in September when I go to check out the studio build. First thing is to rip out the back seats completely and add another false floor level with the spare tyre one........... too bad I got nowhere else to put the spare,,,,,,,,, then dunno still thinking.

It will be a stall owners markets (textiles and knitting) car ............. the occasional fishing car when permitted.;)
