Can you recommend a cheap car for towing a caravan?
I am looking for a cheap tow car (capable of taking a 1500kg caravan) with low tax and insurance. It must also be reliable. What do you recommend I buy for £2500?

Still banger territory so far easier to get a dud (and particularly a clocked dud) than a good one. Many will have seen high mileage taxi work. Probably best off with a Galaxy/Sharan/Alhambra 1.9 diesel because you can get the parts.

True seven-seater with more cheerful trim than its VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy equivalents. Good car-like drive.
Good to drive and comfortable. Versatile with foldaway seats. Generally good quality. Diesel automatic option. Plenty of room in all back seats.
