Of course they are good there mb.
But just wondered does anyone here live with one.
Anything to watch out for???
I've seen a couple advertised for sale and am intrigued as I'd rather have a mercedes than anything else.

I had a 638 V Class (220 cdi) for a while.

Thongs to look for;
Rust,
Check the air suspension, although a lot of people have changed them to springs because of how many failed.
Black death on the injectors (diesel engine only) gives a very strange smell through the air vents.
Rust
Central locking is a known problem, the wiring on the drivers door corrodes and means that you have to lock the car manually.
Rust.


To be honest, spend as much as you can on one with good bodywork because once you start attempting to recede the inevitable rust, it can become a costly exercise.
 
Rust and things coming off in your hands, series 1 Vito's are utter turd.
