Hi All,
I am wondering what the cons are to buying a Prado that has been used for towing, and what I can do to check out the potential issues.
I presume there would be more wear on the tyres/brakes/suspension which can be checked/replaced reasonably easily.
I also presume there are added risks to the driveline, gearbox/transmission and engine (overheating etc). Is this something that can be easily assessed?
Would you buy one that has clearly been used for towing (advertised with EBC and 'ready for touring' / 'we've just finished our lap' type ads).
I guess it's hard to answer, but what sort of price reduction would you consider fair on a ~2006-2008 model that was used for towing? Ie. one that hasn't been used, say $20k and one that has been , say $15k?
Anything else come to mind?
Cheers
Chris
