No Iam not... I think the long and tall will be tho...
Heck a low and short sprinter is under 40
Heck a low and short sprinter is under 40
It would be laughable if the above price were correct.... not much more than replacing just the engine in a Sprinter?
That's true. The average buyer of these couldn't care less about them the way Expediters will, and if they aren't priced competitively initially they soon will be.
Exactly, supply and demand will set the price eventually. I would expect that they will be over priced initially...and until they get an inventory on the lots. I also suspect that if they get it right and the van + any one of the 3 engine choices is a good setup, you'll see sprinter owners scrambling to trade...driving demand, and holding off discounts farther into the future.
If I had $35k in my pocket and I "didn't" want to own one of these vans, I wouldn't make any offers.
I don't know. I think I'm within 10%. They've got to compete and that puts them 10% above the NV to start with. Subtract the 2x% diesel upcharge and the smallest Sprinter is very low $30k's. Subtract the "Mercedes" name upcharge from that and you're at my $28,450.
Well yeah... Gee whiz.... S and S and even regional pricing comes into play....think I said...MSRP.... Like sprinters.... Just because the tag says 49.9 no one pays that amount
And you can get a low and short sprinter for about 25 as well.......I am NOT knocking the Transit. Gee whiz

Only two more weeks to the big show then we'll know maybe

I say it will be close to that of an Econoline van, since it is a direct replacement, and I don't think they want to lose any business because of pricing.
The longest and tallest will not be competing against the nv. They sure aren't going to leave 10 grand on the table compared to a sprinter. I guess at most you might be looking at 2 or 3 grand under a sprinter. Hope I'm wrong.
The base on that little thing they have now is almost 23 grand.

It can't be....too much technical went into this and very much more truck...I figure being in the same market as Sprinter, Competitive pricing...on the gas model.I'll bring my estimate down to 40-42,900$
Well no it won't but certainly the short roof short model will compete with the NV and I've specifically said the base price and specifically also compared to the short and short Sprinter. I'm also talking about the gasoline model. The least expensive possible Transit of all. I'd hope my number is too high if anything.
You really think they are going to charge $10k plus more than a Sprinter? Base Sprinter $36,290 for diesel. The best number I can come up with for diesel is $7195 upcharge by Chev for the Duramax but for nice round numbers let's minus $6,290 which probably isn't taking off enough and get an even $30k base for a gas Sprinter, $10k-$12,9k less than the Transit.
Yeah, a lot went into it, but they don't have to recover all of that from U.S. sales. It is a "world" van after all. Also, it isn't a new model starting from scratch having to recover development expenses. I just can't see a base price anywhere near $40k.
I hope I'm wrong and I'm probably Am wrong... I remember the minivan era back in the 80s Ford really overpriced the Aerostar
