FREELANDER ad - Should I mention the NEW Engine ?

Question

Need some opinions here :Iam about to sell my 98 Freelander i ( 5dr wagon ), and have literally justput in a brand new engine,  clutch & brakes ( cost me around $13,000 AU allup ), and want to know if I should mention all that in the advertisment ?I was thinking I'd mention the clutch & brakes, but I'm concerned thatmentioning the engine up front in the ad may scare people away....thinkingthe car  has been full of troubles !Ironically, other than that huge layout, the car has been fantastic...Cheers,     O     [III  /""III ""/     III

I'd say it was a major plus point, especially if the mileage is on the high side. Also the later 1.8 engines were slightly modified to prevent the head gaskets failing every 17 miles IIRC. Don't know what engine you have.

well that's good to know about the new 1.8lt engines....as mine is a brand new one !

The car had only done 50,000 km before the engine replacement anyway, but interesting to know how people see it.... thanks

I agree....and if someones serious about a freelander

They should be asking anyway.
If they didn't know it was a problem they do now and the other 5 adverts will go on the "no" list giving you the advantage.
