Some may recall that a little while ago I started a quest to find a suitable replacement for Mrs B's Sharan. The replacement also needed to seat 8.
Well, after much deliberation we decided that it either had to be a Transporter Shuttle or the i800
So..............we have just picked up a Viano :-)
The Viano was off the list on the basis that they were a little expensive, but we came across one locally that ticked all the box's and was a lot less than we planned to spend.
Original budget was circa 20K but we've ended up only spending 6K on a 2005 model. Its an Ambiente so has leather, aircon, sat nav, alloys etc and is in black with sandstone interior and the seller has chucked in the dateless private plate (single digit so may be worth a couple of quid) Price reflects the high mileage, but the condition is fantastic and it drive's faultlessly (the 5 speed auto is silky smooth) so I suspect its led a fairly easy life doing long private hire type work.
The only little issue is that it only came with one key, and its one of those funny merc ones with no blade. Anyone know how easy it is to get a second at a reasonable price, and what is a reasonable price for one?
