Class Bs also hold their value, for all the reasons above, so when it comes time to sell, assuming good standards of maintenance, you recoup a greater percentage of your initial purchase than you would with most A or C units.
I've seen used 06 Sprinters recently online with same asking price that we paid three years ago. Hard to know if they'll get what they are asking. But Mercedes Diesel engines are just getting warmed up and raring to go at 75,000 miles.
You are absolutely right.The Sprinter uses Mercedes engine,trans and chassis(costly to produce) and it is a commercial-grade vehicle of high quality and construction. You dont get the groans and squeals like other chassis. The cost of conversion is very high given, as noted, the high quality cabinetry installed piece by piece by licenced and experienced carpenters. Resale is remarkable. My 2006 PW Plateau TS had a resale value of around 70,000$ last year. I didnt pay that because i am foxy, eh?...
