Should I buy a Land Rover Freelander 1?

I have a hankering to buy a great three door example of the Land Rover Freelander Series 1 facelift 2005-2007, highest spec possible and lowest mileage available.

I brought a brand new one in 2000 and loved it. I am now retiring so have time for repairs etc and my mileage will be low. Am I mad?

If you love the car – why not?

Naturally, a full service history is desirable and it is worth looking for a car that has been treated to an upgraded head gasket.
