At the moment, LandRover has two finance agreements. The one I am interested in is 0% finance where you put down half the value of the car and then pay the second half off in two years time. I have a Freelander HSE, registered September 2005 that has only done 17,250 miles, which I would put in as part payment for the first deposit. I would consider changing the car again in two years time for a new LandRover, hoping the scheme is still in operation. I appreciate the scheme is to encourage car sales but at the present time I cannot see any draw backs, unless you know different and could advise?

Let's see: Half of list price now. The other half in two year's time. It makes sure you pay the full list price at a time when otherwise you
might have got a discount of £5,000 - £10,000 (depending on model).

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
