Stop by any shop that repairs the Sprinters and try to find a mechanic that would be willing to buy one for himself. It might take you a while, since the vast majority are going to decline getting involved in that mess. I've got a buddy that works on them, and generally does the complicated work that the other half dozen techs. in the shop can't handle. Wow, does he have interesting stories about some of the legendary German engineering.
The commercial van market is full of stories of high volume users, everybody from Ambulance companies, to big residential service providers, who fell hard for Sprinters and bought whole fleets of them. five years later, the things are out of warranty, and the cost of keeping them on the road, and lack of reliability, result in them being replaced by E chassis and Transit vans, or anything else that won't need continuous expensive repairs and service.
