A friend is looking for a cheap (<£2k) estate car for towing a trailer (~200kg) and a car (~900kg).
There are lots of 1990s Mercedes that fit the bill, but was wondering what is the minimum or recommended engines that are suitable for the job.
He'll be doing maybe 3k/year of towing so engine longevity is important.
Fuel costs are also of consideration, so V8 are off the list
Many thanks.
eg. JumboBeef's W124 E220 looks nice, but wonder if the engine is too small for the job?
