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 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 doing its job over the life of the vehicle.
