NMNA - but curious.

My 2007 Frontier runs well, does everything I could ever ask but it's rusty underneath.  Some day it won't pass its annual inspection and I'll have to sell it out of State.  Cheap.  As a replacement I've been looking at vans, a friend LOVES Chevy Astros and says he will never have another pickup.  

This MB is pricey, expensive parts and may not have back up on this country.   Thoughts?

(it's not a Previa with MB badges)

My thoughts are I think I'd rather have a previa. This style of van makes ingress and egress tricky because you have to play 'don't touch the tire or wheel well with your leg/pants'.

Local company out here rents versions of these with the Westfalia treatment. They seem nice, but I have never driven one.

Made by Ssangyong in South Korea. Parts availability would be enough to scare me off. It would be better if it were a Previa with Mercedes badges.

Love the concept but wouldn't want to deal with getting parts.
