Thought about advantages and disadvantages of having a sprinter. And there aren't many disadvantages.

Seems your first few weeks in this business have done you good enough that you're looking for a Sprinter already. Trust me while they are a good vehicle the do have their disadvantages.

Mercedes, Dodge, Freightliner, they're all the same vehicle. The only difference is hair and makeup.

I would say yes...since they used to sell them before 2010...
Years 2010 and up Dodge Dealers don't touch them..

Grasshopper...if he takes care of it, there will be no need of that...

I have tons of OEM parts still running...They don't break down more then any other model...cept for mistreatment...

BTW..IF one abuses a Sprinter..it will absolutely, most definately punish your pocketbook...

BUT ovm, unless he has the van checked out before the purchase (properly), even if he enlists the services of Dr A. it is far different than buying a new van as you did and knowing what the thing went though in its past.
