Quoted £607 today by dealer for detachable tow-bar (single electrics) for Yeti, supplied and fitted.

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative? Non-detachable is fine.

P.S. It would be almost £700 net if the factory-fitted towbar preparation option is taken. Can anyone make any sense of that?

According to the new Yeti brochure a removable tow bar's RRP is £220 and "towing electrics without factory prep" £157, a total of £377. Can't see where the extra comes from!

I had a Volvo dealer retro fit a Witter towbar plus Volvo Electrics to my new(09) V50 and they charged £380 inclusive of a days use of a loan car. Wasn't even the dealer the car came from. I can't understand how Skoda are quoting so much.

Thinking I may give the Volvo 6 to 8 months then look at a Yeti.

I've ordered my CR170 with factory 'towbar prep' and having been warned of the high Skoda price for actual towbar was surprised to see the price of £220 in the SUK Yeti brochure. I'm prepared to knock on Mr Witter's door if necessary.

Slightly confused that 'electrics with factory prep' is £147 and 'without factory prep' is £157. Must be a catch somewhere - factory prep is £150. Something doesn't add up - apart from the maths!

If/when I find out more I shall report back. I presume costs for whatever are similar to other models.

There will be some fitting labour, but £607 still seems excessive.

Have now been quoted almost £200 less by another dealer, but not using Skoda electrics!

I am a little confused.
