Hello folks. It's time to get rid of the DISCOfever boogie bus.
It's a 2002 Mercedes Vito 110CDI in Black...
16" Alloy wheels.
94,264 miles (at time of writing this post).
Tax & MOT until November 2012.
2.2 Diesel.
Service due in 3200 miles.
New windscreen this year.
Slidey doors both sides, tailgate on the rear.
Very reliable, starts each time. New battery in the past 12 months.
Immobiliser.
Remote central locking.
Power steering.
Face-off Stereo.
Looking for £2,500 for the van without the registration plate. Or £3500with the personalised P10 CDJ (Pioneer CDJ) plate.
Now, there are a few things you need to know about this van. It's incredibly reliable and will get you from A to B to C to D and beyond. If you're looking for a blingy van that works 100% this is not your van.
Here is the list of known issues...
Last MOT I had an advisory that the OS inner CV boot is split.
The drivers-side slidey door is a bit temperamental, sometimes it opens from the outside, sometimes not. You can open it easily from the inside however.
The passenger door central locking thingy is not working so it doesn't open. I call it a security feature. You can of course go old-skool and open it with the key if you really needed to.
There are some scratches here and there, some nasty, some not to nasty. I had a quote from our local body repair workshop for around £250.00 "cash" to get them all done.
The speakers for the Stereo aren't brilliant, they're shot to bits to be fair, but if you like light classical music they're just fine. If I was buying this van, i'd spend a few hundred on a new head unit and speakers.
The Mercedes badge on the rear door was shamefully ripped off during a fight with the local car wash. Cheap to replace on eBay for a few quid.
And finally...here's a photo gallery.
