Great never thought about the big old Merc ! Nice diesel V6 engine an option and they are indeed cheap as chips (unless you have to take them into main dealer for repair) 2008 TDV8 |

Buy a old one that's highly specked and lower than average miles. They are dragged down their average price by higher miled younger ones, people often look after these cars, until they become cheap, and panic sell them. They are very well equipped, though the older sat nav's are outdated. Rust killed the Merc reputation around the 2000 year, and since they have become an everyday car. (To me)

I don't know if there's an older version around but drove a Transit Custom (15 plate) this weekend to help a friend move. They do a minibus version and that thing (the van version) was a really nice drive. Not a RR and certainly stiffer ride, to be expected with a van, but shifted along even with a full load and handled extremely well.

Mitsubishi Delica, 7 Seats 4X4, a bit old now but I had one and loved it. 2.8 diesel. My Motto: If you are going to have one, have a BIG one! |
