    I don't buy them newer then 06 and with 250k or less. I'd maybe go 300k if the price was right and it was mint, no rust. :p

    How do you make money with a cargo van?

    If you have the right carrier you can pretty much go anywhere except Oregon Washington Idaho and Montana. Also weight capacity helps, most carriers will put 3000 lbs MAX on a Sprinter or similar vehicle.

    Nissan NV van

    Is this van coming to the states or is it a Mexico/Canada only? If it smokes the Sprinter in MPG, MB will have a lot of catching up to do and have to go back to the drawing board! The engineers will be like "oh Scheiße"
