Sprinter Vans
How many of you have a Sprinter Van? I need opinions: a) Quality and workmanship b) Ease of dealer service c) Was it worth the upgrade to the camper vs DIY cargo van d) Would you buy another ...
Forum Discussion
Lets see, there's lots of opinions you'll get here, I'll try to answer best as I can.
We are 2 time Sprinter owners, and the second one will be our last.
Answers:
A: our 2008 , very good. Our 2013, the body and sheet metal fits, bad. Otherwise a terribly misaligned from Mercedes, front end when new chewed up our front tires so they needed replacement by 10k miles.
B: dealer service varies a lot depending where you are. We have to drive 40 miles to either a Freightliner or MB dealer to get anything done, and we're in a metro area with 1 million + population. Some places 100 miles or more
C: to us, yes. Poor skills to do it here
D & E: no, if there is a next one, it'll probably be a Ford Transit based unit or a MUCH lesser chance, a Ram ProMaster. Way, way, way more service locations on either of those
