Should I buy a high mileage 2008 Land Rover Freelander?
I want a 2008 Land Rover Freelander 2 but I have a limited budget. Most adverts that I have seen in my price range are high mileage. Is there any drawback to buying the Freelander with high mileage or should I wait, save up some more money and buy one with less than 100,000 on the clock.

My advice is not to buy one at all. Too many very expensive problem areas. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/land-rover/freelande.../

Bigger than original Freelander. 2.2-litre belt cam diesel. Incredibly good off-road. Robust interior. More fuel efficient 2WD model from 2011 with no rear diff to fail.
