Must admit it does look very nice, I expect our USA based friends are best to advise you on tow bars I haven't found a good source of parts in the UK in all the years I've owned one.
Don't expect that good a fuel consumption I run mine on V-Power as they are happier with higher octane I'd guess 20-25 mpg.

If you do buy it I strongly recommend the Rancho shock upgrade it transforms the car VX KAT very kindly sourced and sorted it for me which was very helpful.

Common problems are the windows mine are on my to-do list hopefully they won't have burnt out motors but I think the fuse goes and protects the motors.
Mine had a problem with the heater fan and this can be sorted by buying the control unit so check out the heater/air-con fan works on low and full.
At 41K miles I doubt there will be any transmission problems but it may be worth having a look through the buyers guide on this forum as there are people on this forum who have probably forgotten more than I'll ever know as they say.
Wouldn't do any harm to ask the seller on e-bay if there are any problems with windows etc

The US version is not set up to tow it 4 down since we don't have a neutral position on our transfer case.

However ...

I have a special set up on mine that allows for towing. I have lock-out hubs up front & a quick disconnect on the driveshaft.

I made a set of brackets to attach a standard towbar to mine. They are fairly simple angle brackets that bolt to the frame where the OEM tow hooks were mounted.

I'd be happy to take some pix of the brackets if you need them.

Did you buy the one on e-bay?
