    2004 Sprinter advise

    Larry, The 2004 was the first year of the new engine (647), and new EGR Value. It has the same eng. as 05 and 06. Very good engine and fuel milage. Sounds like a good deal if you can talk them down to 12k. Check with some carriers first and see if they will take on an 04. One thing in your...

    Am I getting a good deal on this Sprinter??

    Dry ice will sometimes pop the hail dings out...The dent doctor can do it as well. Most new cars and such have a 5% markup. That is not counting the "Hold Back" that is on the invoice, Hard pax and soft pax that is added by the dealer. I got my 05 sprinter at invoice less the 1,047 "Hold...

Something is better than nothing. Yes, I've turned those runs down at times, you just have to have your own...
