Before anyone goes and spends between 15 and 20k on a used tow car go and test drive the 2.2 Korando, it might not be for you, but thats what i did and liked it so much i bought one, 5 year unlimited mileage warranty helps swing it and it tows our sterling 584 sport like a dream.

I pickup a korando 2.0 elx at weekend, would have liked the 2.2 but budget didn’t stretch that far. I’ve been looking at Mitsubishi Asx but couldn’t find one in my budget, just got to get towbar fitted

If you get it from a dealer they will fit one free

The tow bar offer is for Caravan Club members and only applies to new cars. I used this offer and it saved me about £700.

I've had the 2.2 manual for 15 months now and can't fault it. It's a brilliant tow car.

TBH guys, if you go into any dealer and request a tow bar to be fitted to a new car, just insit it is included in the price. If they do not agree, just say thank you and walk out, I bet they stop you before you get to the door! It might be £700 to you, but to them it is probably £350......Peanuts.

I was very naughty to a salesman when pricing up a new pick up truck, I got towbar, full set of mats, load liner and a good discount on a top all included. I did not go ahead with the deal because when I said thanks, I will take those figures away and think it over, he snapped back “Why what is there to think about”........Cocky tw#t. Bought a Ford instead.

Never pay the asking price for a new or second hand vehicle, if you do, make sure you have some goodies. The mark up is about 100% for them on extras.
