My spy at Radio Taxis (Group) Ltd (that's Mountview in old money) are holding a Mercedes Taxi Open Day at their Station Road,N4 office on Wednesday 24th September from 9.30 to 4.00.
KPM staff will be present to answer any questions (ie bend your ear) you may have.
Mine is ''I am interested in buying a new Mercedes Taxi,how much will you give me for the 56 reg TX4 you sold me?''

Could anyone ask that question for me...please!

Any driver with a 56 plate should get a full refund of the purchase price so the Merc dealer should be handing any buyer cash back :D

The first question anyone should ask is;
"why do they cost almost double the price of a PHV Vitto".

EEHHHHHH Nope we are on about the standard one here are we not???
A company In my town has just bought a 58 plate standard one for £34,000
We are wondering where they are going to get the work for it, as they have an older one as well and folk wont get in it at the rank unless its the only cab there.
Folk even try to avoid the 6 seaters like the galaxy
