Should I advertise car as towable?
I will be selling my 2012 Ford Focus. I have flat towed it over 40K miles. It will come with a Roadmaster setup, missing the Invisibrake breaking system. It is an asset or liability to have the towing equipment?

- I'm pretty sure for most non-RVers it would be a liability that the car has rolled along for 40,000 more miles than the odometer indicates. It would only really be an asset if you're selling to another RVer who is interested in a car to tow; so if you're hanging flyers in a campground, definitely mention it, but I would not advertise the tow stuff otherwise.
- I'd offer it at an additional cost, then play it by ear on who answers the ad. Of bigger note is the mileage that shows on the odometer from towing. I would think an odo that registers higher than the actual engine run time would be an advantage to any buyer as the over all wear on the vehicle would be less than the odometer states.
But maybe the odo doesn't record towed miles. In that case, never mind. - I think it would be an asset if you are trying to sell it to RV'ers, but if trying to sell it to the general public, I don't think towing equipment would be of any interest at all.
- I think it would be an asset,a larger pool of prospective buyers.
