Which 4x4 to buy used?
I'd like to buy a 4x4. So far it's between the X3 and Freelander 2 but I don't know which model to choose used/ used approved. 99% will be on road use.
I live in Brighton, so will use car to drive around town and to get out of town on A/B/Motorways but rarely off road ie when going camping in a grassy field.
Needs to be comfortable on rough roads, economical, and be able to cope with the forthcoming winter as I need to visit elderly parents and grit is like gold dust in Brighton.
Looking for fuel economy, comfort, resale, servicing costs and preferably below £25,000.

£25,000 buys you a new Outlander 2.2 4WD and various lower spec Freelander 2.2 4WDs, so why buy a used higher spec one? You won't get an F25 X3 for £25k, even a year old.
