Yes...We've run Fedex B loads out of Quebec and they do tend to be good ones....

Thats the weirdest apart Quebec doesn't have the economic base to sustain itself and just for the reason you mentioned since they left cause of language and culture..the U.S. would not be a good fit..The only country left is France...we do have that French colony in the Gulf of St. Lawerence...

RE: SPECS FOUND it's a long list folks Well after talking with 4 owners of the 2007.. 3 of them 170" and one 144' I am not impressed on MPG's they are hard presse to get 21 and average about 20mpg's. I am thinking just keep this one in good shape for as long as possible and spend 12,000 and...

Leo...isn't the FSC also higher for a D unit??? so the gross would be even more..just a thought...

Greg..ok I concede a diesel is a diesel... But as for DC's fault I'd be hard pressed to blame them for a failure as I have only been in a dealer 3x's in almost 200,000 miles...I'd have to shoulder most of the blame... So whats the 3 main items again? Oil filter, oil change, fuel filter, turbo...

If your completely new..I'd go with the sprinter...solos in a D unit have to wrestle that log book too much to make money.

Terry...Some owners used to do just what you said in the taxi biz...Since its only a sideswipe all ya get is a paintjob and downtime. Adding another situation: Alot of city people when turning left often encroach into the oncoming lane and have thier frontend in your lane causing you to move...

That goes with what I've been telling people out here all along in the TS's Its a Mercedes not a N.American deisel, you have to treat it different. I think thats why we are seeing the premature failure of some Sprinters...Between bad driving habits and poor PM.

The world would have survived, people are resourceful all over, not just North America,but Thanks anyhow.
