Should I buy a small car with a tow bar? I am trying to buy my first car and have come across a potentially ideal Toyota Yaris 1.0. It looks great inside, is five years old, has done only 33,000 miles and is available for £3,850. My only concern is the presence of a tow bar. Should this be a concern with such a small car? It's not normal and the car has a very low towing limit, so it was probably pulling a camping trailer. If you can find the name and address of the previous owner, it's worth checking that it hasn't been pulling a hamburger stand.
