Greetings.
I spend several months a year in Cyprus and am tired of the cost of hiring indifferent cars. I have been using a local friends car but it has now gone to scrap. So I want to find a vehicle suitable for my bulk, and can be reliable, but at a low price. I am not concerned so much at fuel consumption, appearance or maybe a tatty interior. Its only for us to go to the shops or maybe some of the ancient sites. But it must look above suspicion for when I travel across the green line and not get pulled-in by the Turkish Cypriot border police! Mercs last a long time and don't rust much in the local climate, so it seems the way to go. So what model/age do you all recommend please? The higher off the ground the better to allow entry/exit for my creaking back and old stiff joints! TIA.
