My father owns a coffee roasting company
here in Louisiana and currently has several company vehicles, mostly fords. He is looking for a new service van for our espresso machine service tech. Currently he is driving a older transit connect with around 250k miles on it. The tech himself has back issues so looking for comfort as well.
My father expressed to me his liking of the Mercedes Metris vans, my only objection is that no dealer will service them and its a turbo 4 cylinder and I'm not sure the longevity of that turbo/problems in general with that engine.
The Ford 4 cylinder has been a true workhorse and if it comes down to it I think getting into a newer transit connect might be the best choice.
Service on all vehicles from here on apparently will be through Tire Choice which bought out our previous service provider. I believe they offer mobil syn blend for under $40 a pop, but the Metris should be more I bet for needed MB oil specs.
