The Mercedes Metris starts at around $29,000, notably undercutting the Ford Transit van by a few thousand dollars. The Metris prides itself on being just about the right size for urban businesses that still need a vehicle with plenty of space and utility. The Metris is big on the inside, but ultimately on the outside it has a manageable footprint. It isn't too wide for narrow streets and that parallel parking is still possible. Further adding to the value of the Metris are 15,000 mile service intervals, meaning it will spend less time in the shop and more time doings its job over the life of the vehicle.
