Hello all,
as VW transporters seem to be fetching silly prices at the moment (and the t5's really aren't even half as reliable as t4's according to my very informed van trade source) I have started looking at vitos and v-classes.
I know internet reviews are full of disgruntled punters complaining about their cars and the ones that are happy are too busy enjoying happy motoring to bother commenting on websites.
If i buy a clean unmodified one (*yes I have a particular one in mind) with a service history that hasn't fallen apart after 9 years and 120k, can I assume it wasn't a friday afternoon job? Aformentioned van trade source is coming with me to see it btw so I'm more worried about medium term reliability than me missing a fault I should spot on the day.
most unreliable bit I can see on v-classes is the air suspension so I am already budgeting for coil springs. (suprisingly cheap and easy to fit for a mercedes part)
Please post your happy vito/v class ownership stories. 🙂
