It’s a generous offer for the old Freelander. But he is asking nearly twice as much as you paid for it for the new one. To me, that’s marketing overcoming common sense. For that kind of money I'd be looking at a BMW F25 X3 2.0d, not a Freelander. But if you're a fan, and want to support British workers, I won't try to dissuade you.

An Evoque is less practical and more fashionable, so will probably hold its value better. Note that there's not much room inside the 3-door version. The 5-door is the best compromise, and it certainly handles in a more car-like manner than the Freelander II. If you intend keeping either of these cars beyond three years, make sure to purchase an extended warranty.
