Hyundai Montana or Mercedes V-Class?
Hyundai Montana versus Mercedes-Benz V-Class? Which is the best one to run, fuel wise, resale value, tax and reliability? I know there's a big difference in price, but just wondering which is better to invest in long term.

Hi Jenny,
The Montana will be cheaper to buy of course, and I'd say overall reliability should be roughly similar. Tax is exactly the same if you're taxing them as commercial, but it gets a lot more complicated if you're taxing them as a private vehicle. Lots of hoops to jump through.
I think the key thing here will be resale and I would suspect that the Merc will edge it there. Nothing wrong with the Hyundai, but if you look after the Merc and keep it in good nick then it will inevitably be more desirable come resale time.
