Anyone else like me (can't afford new Evoque, but really wants one?)

The Freelander2 is an Evoque in plain Jane clothes (actually the Evoque is a Freelander2 in a party frock!) and there are plenty of used ones available. Very competent cars built on the same line as the Evoque. Take a look on the Land Rover website where you can set how much you want to spend in the used car locator. At least it gets you on the bottom rung of the ladder and headed toward an Evoque. You could also take a look over on http://www.freel2.com at what members there may be selling or contact our forum sponsors Lookers Park Royal

Hey Tim,

Wake up and smell the coffee, the competition is getting closer, don't laugh of the Yeti, look at their sales figures since there launch..

I don't laugh at the Yeti cutter - I considered buying one 2 years ago! I also never laugh at Suzukis, they can do amazing things off road and are dirt cheap to buy and repair - they definitely are not just a hairdresser's 4x4.

chances of the evoque falling in price within the first 12 months is very slim id say mate.

On a positive note this should keep lease option affordable or even LR finance package i expect will be offering favourable balloon payments which would allow you to finance it. Plenty options out there for under 300 a month on a pure id expect.

I can forecast that secondhand prices will not fall until after I have bought one. Then they are guaranteed to drop drastically...
