Nice looking van. It's been awhile since I've been on here, but was this purchase a planned deal that is done every so many years or is expediting doing well enough to justify a new purchase ?

At the time I did not know about used parts and there were not that many around in 04. I compare Mercedes to Ford and Chevy because they are Vans used in same line of work. If they are as well built as they claim, that is "Mercedes" than just cause they cost more to repair should be outweighed...

I had to replace my rearend in my 03 Sprinter back in 04 at 140,000 easy miles at a cost of 2500.00. I could of put 3 0r 4 rearends in my Ford or Chevy at that price, and the main reason for high cost is shipping costs from overseas but still it costs more no matter what.

I have owned 3 Sprinters so know alittle about them. In a word they are moneypits. I treated mine with kid gloves and always had them taken into shop for whatever was wrong and did all preventive maint. as possible. Still had non stop problems. Replaced with Ford and Diesal Chevy...

Learning to do your own oil changes, (they are diferent that Ford ,) and as much basic maintanace yourself would save a bundle. Also preventivive maintanance. The problem I had was getting an appointment since there are not that many techs that know how to work on them and you need...

I owned a 03 140" High top for expediting and personal use. It was fine for hauling what I needed but with Sprinters when you drive van at an angle over a decline like a curb van will not flex and unless going fast enough you will just sit and spin your tires. Not worth a crap in snow but...

I owned a 2005 2500 Chevy Express with the Duramax diesal and loved it. I bought it new and we put 100,000 miles on it in first year expediting and never had any trouble and still made 21 to 23mpg. But the diesal cost me an extra 6600.00 and I bought it as a replacement for my unreliable...

Recently saw a new hightop Sprinter with a generator and seperate AC unit enclosed on top of roof. Was done very nice. This was at Pilot in Waddy, KY.

I did not know till now that all the crap that happened to my 3 Sprinters is because I am a Dumba$$ and have zero common sense. That explains alot. Obviously you have a non lemon and take care of stuff the right way. I would rather of paid 32,000.00 for OVM's Sprinter with 400,000 miles on...

RELENT.. I don't know yet how to pick and copy certain phrases so I will respond without quoteing whole response. I was refering to Ford and Chevy as a gas engine, never had much experinance with diesal until Duramax. I had 100,000 miles about on mine with no trouble but that is not that...

My wife and I are equally sick, I hope you mean in a joking way. We still don't understand what the foreign languages mean as to the post. But had fun translating and confusing ourselves further.

I AM THE CLOUDS I AM EMBROIDERED I AM THE AUTHOR OF ALL THE RIMS AND DAMASK PIPING I AM THE CHROME DINETTE I HAVE EGG ALL SPECIES JETZT was Zum Teufel hat das damit zu tun, Alles in Dieserstelle?

Yes, I am the guy that said that. I also said there are a few good sprinkled in there and pm is always the best way to keep equioment in tip top shape. The guy I knew was very picky about his van and I met him in the bay at a Freightliner shop in Indianapolis and his motor was rattling so loud...

Bottom line to OP is the Sprinter is junk with a few good sprinkled in but most are nightmares waiting to happen. I know, I owned 3 and was a major factor in my buisness hitting the crapper. Replaced 1 with a 05 Chevy 2500 Duramax diesal and we loved it. Only differance was no hightop but...

I had 3 not happy with them. One guy I knew had 540,000 miles and replaced engine for 9,000.00 but did preventive maintenace through out so everything else was fine. Sounds like so far you have gotten your monies worth. Also new transmission at Stoops Freightliner in Indianapolis,IN is 6000.00...

One guy I knew that works for Rocket Expediting had 540,000 on his 2002 Sprinter and thing started to go wrong so he put in a new motor for 13,000.00 at Stoops Freightliner in Indy, IN . He had already been doing pm's regularly so rest of van was in tip top shape. He said if he could get...

I need to get back into expediting since the money is so goooood I don't need to buy new parts at a discount I'll just pay full markup.

I have 3 new Sprinter parts for a small donation. If interested PM me. I don't know if I can even say this on here. Thanks.

NO to your question, I have been diagnosed with severe ostioarthritis (sp) in my left hip and have a difficult time walking without cane. I am in process of getting disability and then getting hip replaced. My wife and I miss expediting but need more steady income now but might consider it down...

I had a 2006 2500 ext.Chevy Duramax. I put 90,000 miles on 1st. yr. with express 1, driving all conditions and alot of mountains with loads avg. size of800 to 1500 lbs. I avg. 18mpg. but got as high as 22mpg on open roads driving 65mph. It had plenty of power in hills. We would do alot of...
