Back from the dealership, Ford/Chevy vs Sprinter

Sprinter is obviously more expensive.

Besides the apparently better gas millage on Diesel, are there any other advantages?
Expensive repairs? Parts and Labor at Benz more expensive?

You'd have to do a LOT of miles before you got anywhere near getting the original investment back from increased mileage.

As was mentioned previously, the Ford or GM chassis can be fixed or have maintenance work done nearly anywhere. The Benz, not so much.
