Depends, after all the tax etc. I am estimating the total from their web site to be over $200 I am not sure what the cost of making a tow bar would be. I was hopeful that with all the people out there in this and the samba that have type 3s and make all sorts of things that maybe someone had already been selling one but maybe that was to hopeful. I realize that the type3 is less popular than the bug which I have a tow bar for. O well nothing wrong with hoping.<br>

It would be cheaper to just rent a Tow Dolly from U Haul for the move.<br>
