Your car actually becomes more valuable having had the experience of seeing the countryside while being towed backwards for 100 miles and never once being in reverse.

All seriousness aside, your car is no longer a virgin having traveled on the hook for so long. Your car is now nothing more than an expensive hooker.

What things can brake due to towing ?
Is the gearbox first what normally wear out first when you tow that much ?
i should be preparated due to the rare parts for my car

Your concern about the brakes breaking puts a damper on things...

So to be clear, you are saying your GS was towed (like behind an RV) for 100,000 miles, correct?

Do you know the specific type of hookup that was used to tow it? Do you have a picture from the previous owner?

Dave - Unless he puts a comma where he has used a decimal (he says 100.000miles) it's only 100 miles, but maybe he really does mean 100k miles. There is clearly a Bulgarian language barrier we're dealing with too.

European continent folks usually use the comma in place of the period and vice versa in numbers.

Towing the GS 100k miles is hard work. Happy to say he is now retired:

So to summarize it my car from previous owners have towed at least 100k miles, what issues i can expect and failures in the near future due to towing, i dont know how many kg was the towing...
i dont know what type of towing it is , i can provide sample picture. on my topic

bclexus

Your car was towed (by another vehicle) 100,000 miles? Or, your car was used to tow something 100,000 miles? Which one is it?

bladest

My car was used to tow for more than 100.000miles big and heavy things i can guess for example
small yacht or other things. Heavy more than 1500kg

It’s a poor picture but it looks like a pretty small hitch there.

How many miles does your GS have on it now? if 100,000 it’s doubtful they towed the entire time with the car? Perhaps occasionally?

Car is right now at 250.000miles.
so previous owner confirmed to me that he towed at least 100.000 miles with the car, so what issues i can expect
, gearbox , engine, rear differencial or something else?
