I remember when I got into the business, the thing I wanted the most was a Mercedes sprinter. Well after 5 years of trailers and other vans, I finally splurged on a nice low miles sprinter with full racking. I have had nothing but problems. Every time I turn around there is something new wrong with it, it's been in limp mode for the better part of 3 years now. No one can fix it, have had it to 6 places now including sprinter specialists. Now in the middle of winter the glow plug module went, so the van sat till just about 10 min ago, I went out and charged the battery and now in the 45 degree weather it started. Luckily I was planning on moving on from the sprinter and purchased an awesome freight liner step van with a 4BT cummins in it. Now that thing is a van. I love it. Please think Long and hard before you get a sprinter. 9 out of 10 people will not even think about working in them. Oil changes cost 350 bucks alone. I have honestly sunk 12-15k in this over the last 4 years. Plus paid a large monthly payment and high insurance on it. Think it over. Alot of people are getting the promasters. They are front wheel drive and will have a diesel model soon. For me, I now have a total mobile woodshop that gets awesome gas mileage. And the sprinter just sits.
