less chance with an auto that things have burnt out or worn when towing than if it was manual

if it has done an amount of towing especially high sided wind steered box type 'trailers' then the rear suspension will have taken a beating, If so the the front suspension , drive shafts and engine will also have aged beyond their mileage. Avoid

Did you notice I gave your wheels an extra 'clean' at Halewood, that weak LR coffee ensured I was able to powerwash all the wheels and the drivers door handle At work At home "I can't always believe facts I read on the web" - Charles Dickens winner by default of the tractor vs caravan race |
