Badged by Dodge is the MercedesSprinter. Imported by Dodge, this van was owned by Chrysler for its first 18,000 miles.We have owned it since. We are selling due to my wife having a 2014 Honda converted for wheelchair use.This was our go to familyvan forsome fun adventures.
Condition is great, with signs of normal use. Typical patches of rust common with sprinters.No known issues. Recently had a alternator replaced along with the wire harness. Other than regular oil changes, tires, and cleaning we have not had to do any work on this van.
I am sitting and thinking of things about the van, so forgive me if this seems random in order, or if I forget something. Here is a list of things that may be of interest.
The 3.5L Gas was added due to complaints of slow acceleration of the Diesel engine. No complaints here. It is fun to drive. It is rare, but sought out. It requires 11 quarts of oil. Talk about protection. I have always used synthetic Mobil 1. It also calls for 91 octane. Which we did 95% of the time. Given that we have hadlittle other maintenance costs we figured it was worth the extra cost for assurance, and insurance. I am sure nothing bad would happen if you ran less. Here inWI they do not add ethanol into the 91 octane. That gave us another reason to run better.
Wheelbase: 144 Shorter version, high top. I am 6ft and can bounce on my toes inside without hitting roof. I also can walk in standing straight up holding two kids. :-)
Bad:
Sunroof non-operating (dripped on silicon board, Bad design) Sealed, can be repaired
Driver side small mirror broken, I have the hardware. I needed a trailer mirror anyway.
Engine light on. Not sure issue, it is intermittent. My local Guy does not have the "Sprinter" code reader. Guess is an O2 sensor.
Error says license plate light is bad
Small dent over front wheel well. From fence post. Rear door has a small indent from Fork lift.
Options: are as Edwards.com will lay out including; Heated Seats, heated windshield.
Cruise Control, A/C and climate control, 6 cd changer, rear Aux fan.
Parking sensors, motion sensor alarm.
Added option: Hitch with 7 pin w/ brake control.
Two like new tires, two @ 40,000 I think. records in van.
Ask Questions. I like to talk about Sprinters.
Deposit is non-refundable, I just want to cover my listing costs, not trap anyone. Sold as is.
If you are considering Shipping, keep in mind this van is close to 9ft tall.
