they have not got the build quality of the old mercs, so i see no reason to buy them
sammis dad got one that cost about 30k too and that always brakes too
you not see the 4x4 merc on top gear? tell them if they get one of them they best get you a 4x4 panda too so you can go tow them out the mud
make sure they dont get a twin axel caravan, as only the tiny 460 hobby can be towed with a 4x4, the rest all need a 3 ton commercial vehicle to tow with
