I have a mercedes vito. ( Year 2000 ) 108Cdi

It is much smaller than the sprinter, but it is perfect for me. I have owned it for four years and it has done about 120,000 miles and it has developed a few faults over the years, but it has never let me down once and is one of my favorite vans of all time.

I'm looking for a new van right now and I have only been looking at Vito's so far.

arent these 3 the same in essence? if so just go for the one you like the looks of or one that is more common (good for parts).

as UHM says vito's are fantastic things; ive driven one and they're good to drive/manouvre; esp with the gear knob mounted on the dash even on the earlier versions.

only bad thing is gearbox; i think it starts with failing/misaligned linkages which causes a crunch in gear (2nd i think); this if left causes bigger more expensive probs.

other than that its not really got any common faults.
