Buying a 4WD Feedback

Do not buy a petrol - almost as big a grenade as the 3 litre nissan patrol diesel. Petrol Freelanders are cheap for a reason.

Diesel Freelanders great vehicles though.

Hey Tracie, A mate of mine is a wholesaler & maybe able to help you. Are you in Victoria? He has two at the moment a 1998 & a 2000.

Tracie see if you can find a copy of the Dog and Lemon guide. From memory they rated the freeloader as one of the greatest lemons off all time, if you want reliabity stick with anything Jap,they might not have the character(why is it that cars with character always leave you stranded) but Ravs in partricular are very reliable.

a better option is any Subaru. They have always been dead reliable and very capable.

Thanks to everyone for your advise, I have decided not to go ahead with this one. My search continues, so might be needing your opinions again soon. Thanks again, Tracie.
