- philr said it right ,we have a 2007 sprinter the I5 cyc diesel and my log book has mpg not under 20 pulling my boat it gets 17. no problems . and the leg room is fantastic.I,ll never go back to ford chevy ,dodge.
- We have an '08 View ('07 chassis). No problems of any type, so I can't say anything about repair costs. Maintenance isn't any more than a gas engine, but of course *your* actual costs will depend on where you take yours. IOW, your normal maintenance costs may be more if you take your View to a Mercedes Benz dealer, as compared to a Ford chassis taken to a Ford dealer.
If you do maintenance yourself, you can order parts over the internet. Parts can also be easily found at any decent auto parts store. Changing the oil is about the easiest of any vehicle I've ever seen. Be aware that you will need a very large catch pan.
In the southern tier of states, we have not had any problems finding diesel. I very much doubt that you will have a problem finding fuel anywhere in the US.
