It’s not the largest on the market, but the Exeo is a capable tow car, says Euan Doig
Seat Exeo // Need to know
How much?
£1700-£7000
The oldest of these is more than a decade old now, so prices have reached the ‘bargain’ area of the used-car marketplace.
You can pay as little as £1700 for an early model, but the mileage will be into six figures, and could quite even start with a two.
A budget of around £4500 will net you a post-facelift car in reasonable condition. Yes, it will have done quite a few miles, but it will also have been well looked after.
If you have around £7000, you’ll get the very last-of-the-line examples, providing plenty of kit and with better mileage.
