I wouldnt be surpised most cars have got cheaper and nastier as the accountants get their claws in! But have Merc vans come on any from the brand new 98 one we had?
Probably not
EDIT
Daz what you write about the Merc is spot on. As for the Tranny. All I can say is ours was 8 years old. Used 6 days a week in London traffic. And was actually pretty good. Maybe we were lucky

Rich,
I was on about the New shape Transit. I have an old shape Transit with 1/4 million miles on it with very little spent on it for it's miles and it is never off the road for more than 1 working day.
