Any thoughts on changes

Our 2013 Citigo Elegance 75PS 5 door manual is my runabout, but in 18 months ownership I've only done 2,500 miles. It's zero VED, but in its one service, MOT (Passed) and cam belt/waterpump change it's cost £830 plus insurance at £450 for two years, that's 51p a mile without the cost of fuel (averaging 50mpg) or depreciation. If I did more miles it would be worth keeping but really she has to go. A shame because it's a lovely little car in virtually as new condition. When I drive it the performance and handling reminds me of my 1964 1071cc Cooper S 267WYC that I last saw sometime in 1974. 

The 2018 Karoq SE L 1.5 DSG is our main car and also tows our 1250kg ish caravan. It's a lovely car but I'm not happy with its pulling away capability when towing. It's not bad but could be better, more torque is needed. 

And I hanker back to our 1.2 SE Drive Yeti DSG which we ran 2017 t0 2020, not for towing but for its character. 

So I've been looking out for a 2017 Yeti 2 litre DSG. Last weekend I thought I'd found one not that far away. High miles (88K) but with fitted towbar and reversing camera, my ideal spec.  Things were going fine, the dealer supplied the car's service history, DSG services to the book, The first Haldex service had been missed and done a bit earlier than the second was due and the garage agreed to do another before handover. I didn't reserve the car, but told the dealership I would visit to view the next day. An hour after emailing that, I got a response saying the car was sold. Gutted.

So is my plan sensible? To sell the Citigo and keep looking for a 2017 2 litre 150PS DSG Yeti or are there alternatives?
