i bought my freelander in july of 2011 it only had 55,000 miles and got a good deal on it. only put 3,000 miles on it since i got it and have spent over $4,000 in repairs!!!!! starter, head gasket, window motor, radiator, etc! almost everything. its so hard to find someone to work on it and the parts and labor are ridiculous. once we get it out of the shop this time we are trading it in!!!! do not waste your money... it may sound like a good deal but its not worth the money and aggravation!!!

Purchased in 2007 this 2004 model had done only 15,000 miles. The first thing to go wrong was a fuel pump at 15,500 miles. The lr dealer did not want to know neither did lr head office. Then the window regulators went within weeks in the back. Finally, having serviced the car every six months and at 35,000 miles the turbo went. The workshop said I should use an lr new turbo due to the quality so I laughed and said I had had it with lr quality. I found an independent shop reconditioning turbos and got one for another workshop to fit. That's $2500 instead of $3300 at the dealers. So about half the car value retail and close to trade in prices.

This vehicle is best value in my opinion, for this class. It's easy and fun to drive, lots of creature comforts and is built to last. The only time it has been in the shop has been for regularly scheduled maintenance. A little more storage room would be nice but, overall, it's tops in my book.
I feel lucky!

I bought an almost new '02 Freelander SE off the showroom floor with a couple thousand miles on it. I say I feel lucky because I was able to pay it off and drive it for about a year after. For that reason I feel at least I got something out of it. In addition I spent countless days at the dealer (while under warranty) and became really familiar wih my mechanic and his family. I think i put his daughter thru college. This car is a money pit. EVERYTHING breaks down from the simple like the cup holder to the complex, like the transmission. I loved the car at first but towards the end I had to quit driving the car in the auto transmission mode and HAD to change the gears myself. Even then it finally failed completely. The electronic were horrible! The windows, especially the rear one; the exterior lights (all of them); the doors; the brakes; even the coolant system REGULARLY failed! I am writing this to warn those tempted by Land Rovers. They can be VERY seductive and the new ones look and drive GREAT! I can't say I did not read about some problems before buying one, but I was seduced by the mystique. I can say this however: ANYONE who buys ANY Land Rover and who is not very rich are asking for years of GRIEF!

My Freelander is 4 years old now, and I am generally pleased with the ownership experience. There was an early-life electrical problem which required the car to be towed into the dealership, but with that fixed, there have been no other problems. Performance is quite adequate, ride and handling are good, comfort is reasonable, and it has handled the dirt roads in Michigan very well. Interior noise level is higher than I would like.
