but Sprinter vans in Europe are regularly reported to make 2,000,000 km without overhaul, so even buying older one is not coming with high risk.
...LOL, I have no doubt that the Sprinter "mechanicals" will go very, very far, but thinking back to the last 2 Sprinters I saw on the roads around Quebec, literally the entire body above the frameworks were so rusted out, I'm sure the drivers of those vans was feeling like they were driving a block of hole-filled Swiss cheese :B
I imagine that the EU countries have very little ice melt chemicals on the roads (at least, perhaps they don't use ice melt chemicals longer than the months of January/February, unlike on this side of the Pond, where they are used for at least 6 months of the winter) ?
If if wanted to keep a Sprinter for the long term, I would anti-rust spray under-coat it every season...
