Brand new imported Freelander 2 Petrol
Discussion
I have no connection with this car, or the company but had I seen this car for sale a couple of years ago I would have seriously considered it.

A petrol Freelander 2. Land Rover wouldn't sell me one here in the UK. They declined to sell me a petrol Discovery Sport too.
I understand why they'd not sell many but we probably do 6k a year in our main car and Petrol would be a much better solution for me than Diesel.
But that's by the by.
If I had seen this car back then how good an idea would it be? The spec I want, it is about 10k cheaper than I paid for my Freelander.
Would being a petrol import destroy resale value? It's already cheap?
The JDM grey import scene doesn't seem as strong these days. Does it no longer make sense financially? I don't know where their car comes from but if it's not sold officially in the UK how does warranty, tax, MOT emissions and stuff work?
I really liked my Freelander 2. It was a 2013 model and full of toys.
Now if this was a RHD imported Disco Sport I'd be really interested.

Importing a Red, White Leather, Petrol Freelander is brave. Unless of course the dealer knows there's a market for it. They have a second one also so perhaps there's your answer.
Only drawback would be 2 year cover, but then again if it goes wrong it will be within 6 months.
Selling on will be trickier, but then again you got it cheap to start with.

Its UK registered so either its euro import of its gone through a single approval.
If EU import it will jabe a 2 year warranty.
Might be some problems if its not EU as the soft ware might be set up differently.
Land Rover sell petrol Disco Sports in both Malta and Cyprus, which is a RHD European country. The Cypriot website still lists petrol FL2s, just like this one.If EU import it will jabe a 2 year warranty.
