Well equipped Dodge Sprinter Van, 2500 144" wheelbase, 3.92 rear. This is my third Sprinter. I had previously owned a 2004 and 2007 and all of them performed beautifully for me over the years. I bought this van new in January 2010 from a Dodge dealer in Oregon to use as a service vehicle for my two-way radio company in Sanford, N.C. This van was purchased during the Mercedes-Chrysler divorce and I was worried that they would no longer be imported and new diesels were going to have to meet more stringent emissions (Urea, AdBlue). My 2007 Sprinter only had 80k miles and had plenty of service life but it was a plain white typical dealer stock model with no options. I wanted a new van with a color other than white and to have a few of the cool MB options that are really hard to find. I searched dealer inventories all over the US before finding this one. I called the dealer and asked about it. Supposedly the dealer had a relationship with an RV conversion company and had special ordered this van for them. The RV company had gone under and the dealer had this one on the lot for nearly a year. With a sticker price north of $52,000 it wasn't going to sell to the typical cargo van buyer. We negotiated a price and I bought a plane ticket, flew out and had a great road trip driving it back to N.C. during a January thaw. Since purchasing I have installed a rear bench seat I found on Ebay. Installed 1.5" Armacell thermal/acoustic foam inside all the cavities and lined the walls and rear roof with carpet covered plywood panels. Replaced the OEM Continental tires with Michelins, Upgraded the shocks with Bilsteins all around, Replaced the brake pads with Performance Friction pads and installed the Adrian Steel shelving I had removed from my prior owned Sprinters. The van is on the second set of Michelin LTX tires with only about 20k on them. The first set was installed at 3,500 miles and they lasted 90k. My average MPG is 21.5 over life. Best MPG 24.2 (really trying) and worst MPG is 18.1. The van had a static load of roughly 1k pounds while it was in service for me. It was my toolbox on wheels and always had what I needed in easy reach inside to complete a project. The dynamics of my business has changed since we opened a shop and I'm no longer doing the amount of field work I used to do so I've decided to sell it and work from a smaller vehicle (F-150). The condition of the van is very good. Not perfect, but probably closer to it than anything else I've seen used for sale with half the miles. Everything works as it should and anything needing attention got it. The van was washed regularly and garage kept. My customers frequently asked if it was a new one. The pictures don't do it justice and I'm the type to under promise and over deliver. I have kept all the records for service. Oil changes were done every 10k as recommended and only Mercedes Mobil 1 ESP recommended oil was used, The transmission fluid was replaced at 60k. Fuel and air filters were replaced as scheduled. I performed much of the maintenance work myself (oil & filter changes) and the Mercedes dealer in Fayetteville took care of the more intensive services. The van has been very reliable outside of a minor power steering leak (loose fitting), an EGR temp sensor and a bad glow plug (all were replaced). Now for the ugly part... I was rear ended a few months ago. Stopped at a light and wham... an unlicensed driver hit us from behind. $4,000 in damage and a week plus out of service for repairs. The rear step bumper was bent under and some body damage was done behind the plastic trim. I had everything so much as scratched replaced and the bottom of the rear doors were repainted. The body shop did a really good job and it looks good again. I've included a few pictures I took the day after the wreck. Moving on to the options. I had the window sticker scanned and saved on a computer that died so I'm going to try to list everything based on memory in order of favorites. There may be more items than mentioned. Suspension seats. They are adjustable to your weight and remove any feeling from road imperfections. They are also heated and have comfort headrests and armrests.Bi-Xenon lights. Awesome.
