Group: Forum Member Posts: 12, Visits: 53	I have one of the original G4 Freelanders used in the 2003 U.S. portion of the race and I am moving to London to start a doctoral program at LSE in the next few weeks. Not sure where exactly I'll be living in/around London and pros/cons of owning a car there, but will be on somewhat of a student budget. My G4 has only 36K miles on it, and I have put a lot into the car in terms of restoring it to G4 spec, putting a 2" lift one it, and I would love to keep it. Would love to hear peoples thoughts on the following topics: -Pros/cons of owning a car, and this car, in/around London. -Ease of mechanical repair. The engine is fine right now. But I've been told I can't get a new engine for it in the U.S., but I imagine I could maybe in the UK? Of I could possibly do a diesel conversion to the TD4 in the UK? -Ease of later selling the G4 in the U.K.? Do people in the UK like to buy U.S. (left side drive) vehicles? -G4 vehicles are probably more highly sought after in the UK than the U.S. I imagine I could get close to $10-11K U.S. right now for it, although I suspect the aftermarket warranty would be voided if I took it overseas. What could it fetch in the U.K.? Here's the link to my ad: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/1957761386.html -Overall, is it worth doing this? Thanks for your thoughts!
