I don't know what the situation is in you countries but here in the U.S. you can rent a Ford Ranger pickup truck from Budget on the weekends for less than $20. You can put a hitch ball on the bumper. For the few times a year I need to tow this is far cheaper than disfiguring my C230, putting the wear and stress on my car and the cost of the hitch. I haul dirt bikes in the back of the Ranger and go about once a month.
