Freelander 1.8 ES Valuation

[993SC]

Hi all!

I'm posting on behalf of a mate who is selling his Freelander and I wondered if I may pick the brains of the experts on this forum as to its valuation.

He has been to dealers and they have offered in the realms of £8,000 and pretty much turned their nose up at it as it is a petrol model. Is this what he can expect or were they being a tad cheeky?

Anyway, details as follows:

Land Rover Freelander 1.8ES
2003 '03'
Petrol
3 door Hatchback
Silver
6700 miles

If you need any more info to be able to deduce an accurate valuation then please let me know and I can ask him.

Any replies gratefully received! :)

That does seem a bit stingy, however Land Rover dealers are doing all they can to get out of their stocks/allocation of Freelanders due to the new model that's soon to appear. (Spring/summer next year)

I presume the 2003 car your friend has got is the "old" shape (pre headlight and interior update etc) which will also affect it's value.

I'd suggest a private sale. It's still a popular car for the private punter.

Thanks for the reply!

It is the old model apparently. He's definately going for the private sale route and has it in auto trader and ebay at the moment.

Cheers

A friend of mine has an X reg 1.8 (fully loaded) with 28K miles and they were offered £5K by a dealer,and have struggled to get 6K privately.
