Lab 10,979 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My mate is looking at buying a new van. Currently I'm sitting in the Broxburn Merc garage and he is away for a test drive in a blue Merc Vito. Saleman says that a "shooting man" traded it in. As I say a very long shot but if any you lads know of someone who traded in the motor it would bf good to hear if it's mechanically sound before he buys it. Cheers.
