OK, I am going for the FL2, mainly because it is a more economical diesel, has really low mileage (13k), better boot space, really cool PDC, better sound system, and Oz websites lead me to believe that I can install an integrated reverse camera. It is also the latest spec FL2, I would not go for the previous spec (pre MY13).
Unless the LR dealer gives me trouble, there are two contentious issues, someone at the dealership swapped the new spare tyre/rim for an old tyre/rim, and they want to charge R3500 for onroad costs, this is a used vehicle, already has number plates, etc.
The Subaru is a new and current model, has a great sunroof, rear camera, better headlights, better rims/tyres and is not really a slouch in the other areas. Except that it has no PDC, and the aftermarket ones are not great.
If the LR2 was new, at the excessive LR2 new price I would have gone for the Subaru, much better value for money. In fact, I have not even seen other used FL2's that are worth it, so if this deal falls through for any reason then I am going Subaru.
