Freelander Question..(uk)?

Question:
I really like the look of these, I won't be using it for off road, mainly just local use, school run etc. They seem fairly good value for money, and as I'm lookng to buy a 99-01 model, and have £3,500 to spend, they seem ideal for me.

What is a really good "first car" for a guy who just got his driver's license (20-21 years of age)?


I'm viewing one tomorrow, it's just had a head gasket replaced, so I'm thinking this might be a good buy, seeing as I've just read that they can be prone to gaskets blowing!? Is there anything else I should be looking for/asking? And would you rather buy privately or from a garage? I feel that private owners may try and hide problems, but a garage is more likely to have found the problems and fixed them?

What is the difference between dealer invoice and MSRP.?

My friend loved Freelanders till they started breaking down for no reason. He stupidly bought another new one even after all the problems with the first and ending up getting rid of it after only twelve months.
Yesterday, I saw a 'Plastic Police' Traffic Management Freelander which had ventured onto the wet grass verge on a motorway sliproad. It was being towed off by another TM Freelander which had'nt ventured onto the grass.
