If I insulate, I was going to finish the walls in that thin stuff they use in gas station bathrooms and walk in fridges, comes shiny and they have thin strips to cover the seams...its either textured or smooth and very tough, like tile board without the tiles, what's it called?
Edit: think I...
Luan must be an American thing, sounds like a Dennys waitress
Found it, at 1 store, like 1" MDF for speakers, hard to find north of the border...learned something new...its like what they make those $20 interior doors out of
Hope you got it running ;) it took a tow truck plus two booster packs to start me after I killed both batteries with my laptop, was a diesel
10 years ago now. My first "breakdown":D
If I get smashed, I'm not paying the local rate of 10,000 for an 05 I'd try for a 4 cyl...i have a thread on mine somewhere, paid 2900 US for mine with 180000 miles on it (in truck talk)...
I'll now defer to the people that actually own newer Sprinters to answer questions
I've done this once, so I'll go easy...things to think about:
-MUST be unlimited miles
-you have to do repairs and maintenance payments while you keep up with the truck payments
-a "write-off" is not a tax credit...example an individual paying 1000 a month would get a real life tax savings of...
Thanks for the warning, my first set got 200,000 miles (when they had just come out) but they usually "cheapen" a design when it's been out for a while, in my experience
Yes, over thinking a bit. But you will have the bumper damaged fairly often, unless you are standing by the back ready to scream at the forklift driver (you should, every time). Options here are limited to something like a trailer hitch with a step bar or steel bump plate if you don't want that...
Forgot to mention, in Canada it reversed again, I last filled up with diesel at 0.849 a litre and gas was around .95
Thanks for the banter everyone, for now the best van for me seems to be sitting in my driveway...maybe I'll get some time to hassle a dealer or two today...
Time will tell on the gas sixes, can't get it thru my head that one would last 500,000 miles...
I heard they were good, but my low roof work dried up, trying to stay out of regulated (straight truck) at all costs
Never that low, so far...my big issue is I like to be one move ahead as far as vans go...i've already turned down a "sprinter" load that would have paid more than I did for the van, but it was 74" high...but what is there to choose from? Everything is dpf/def and worse on mpg
When is there not a headwind?
In Toronto they're still plentiful, as far as the drop in mpg give me yours for a hot run and it'll drop too ;)
I doubt I would have seen 15 mpg with a gas transit
