There are a lot of Sprinter pilots in here, maybe someone will send u a PM offer. Many in here love their Sprinters and at 450k miles, there should be a lot of life left to go. Yes they are high to maintain, but they also carry larger volume. 8100 dollar vs 45,000 for a new one would appear a good deal. I use to sell trucks and the love affair of the person selling vs the dealers offer is usually miles apart, its just the way it is. If you put that Sprinter up at an auto auction for sale, you would be disappointed and the auto auctions are where the real world is in the auto business, believe me..For example, that Sprinter in the street may, and may sell for 8100 , but at an auction with 450k miles, maybe 2500 and that would tick u off. Auctions for dealers is way different from selling on the street. Another example, used cars or trucks on the lot would be priced.
at say 10,000 dollars for a ride you want, but the true cost usually 2,000 under selling price, and sometimes 3000 under selling price. Basically what is going on is a love affair with your existing ride you have for sale and we all do it, but reality will set in soon . 450,000 miles in most motorist minds is way beyond their comprehension. For the motoring public, 100k miles is beyond the moon, trust me.........its a game selling used rides...
