For many years Mercedes were used as Taxis by independant drivers in Central and South America. They were valued for their dependability and by being dedicated as a Taxi, the normal 300% duty on a new car was avoided.

I had the pleasure of being in one when the driver rolled it over on the mountain road outside of San Jose, Costa Rica.
