The 2008 Nissan TIIda carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1000 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The battery is a piddly little one with barely enough capacity to keep the Tiida afloat. If the volts drop below 9.2 there's not enough grunt to sustain running and the car will crank without starting, as the dealer has told you. The answer is to buy a better battery with a decent capacity.

If the battery is done a little the starter can take up what power it has and the voltage can drop below that needed for the rest of the system to function, so it might crank and not start. The calcium battery is not standard in the Tiida; it has a lead-acid battery standard, which means your battery has been replaced before. Can you swap a battery out of another car for a week or two and see if the problem persists. If it does you know its the battery, if it doesn’t then you can look elsewhere, and perhaps look at the immobiliser.

BUYING used is not going to cost you as much as buying new, but you need to know about cars or have the help of someone who does. Otherwise, buy new and get the security of a warranty. The new car will also be safer. Generally they have more safety features built into them and will probably use less fuel than an older car. Look at the Mazda 2, Toyota Yaris, Nissan Tiida, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Getz and VW Polo.
