Land Rover Freelander 2004. Are they more expensive to maintain and repair?
I’m thinking of purchasing a Land Rover 2004 Freelander. My husband says they’re more expensive to maintain and repair than other “american made” small suvs. Does anyone have experience with this type of vehicle that can offer some insight? Thanks!! Answer:Hell yes they are more expensive, and a huge pain in the ass. For example, I have one customer in my shop that owns one. She knows to call ahead 3 days in advance for an oil change so we can special order the $20 oil filter for it that has to come from out-of-state. Who needs that kind of complication and added expense for the most routine maintenance. Good thing the vehicle is new enough she has not needed any other work. Outside of the very sparse dealer network there is no parts availability for these vehicles. A Ford Escape offers more room and practicality at a fraction of the price. Even the smallish Honda CRV would be a better choice. Land Rover’s, like most Euro makes I am convinced are for people who have a need to feel supe
