i have a 2016 2.1. just hit 350k. still kicking

What was your biggest problem at 198k amigo ?

@@mikelytvynchuk9521 Mercedes are this reliable?

@@OGtruthserumthe vans

Just buy it bro and figure out how to afford it as u go . lol that’s what I did

Leave no stone unturned

@@BenHardyCars I want to see you on a Kubota tractor.

@@SueUTube john deer not allowing ben to enter their premises 😂

For real 🤙🏽

What year did u have?

Or for 30 grand less you can have a Ford transit 250 high roof and fully equipped with more than 100 more hp & tq

There are 3 compartments in the top of the dash he missed. The center one has a wireless charger and plug for Android auto or Apple car play

It will pull stronger than any gas junk van that is available on US market currently

Did the dealer tell you what’s the problem

Since the move to US manufacturing of these, the quality has gone down the toilet. I have a 2014 which has never let me down, but has had around $10,000 in emissions work mostly covered by the AEM recall and settlement. Because of its size, the thing wear through brakes quickly. Stock suspension and brakes are completely under size for their intended use. That said, they fill a niche that Transit and Promaster don’t.

Right there with you, my 1999 tacoma runs and needs a repair every once in a while but when you’re going to Mercedes for a repair and the head mechanic says we’ll let you know if it’s gonna be over $5,000. Not happy… Noted above about my fuel pump issue and estimate for repair… more than the cost of the Toyota. 😑 I would never suggest to anyone to ever get involved with a sprinter. Sucks because I knew ahead of time but couldn’t find a transit so bit the bullet but ended up shot in the ass. F150 drives nice past 82 mph. 😉

@@2008guelo they said it was and adjustment having to do with the air pressure or something like that. They didn’t replace any parts just adjusted it. I got it back 4 weeks ago, it has not turn on the check engine again, either way stay away from them.

FYI PSA the extended limited warranty does not cover exhausts system…..

Rented one to carry 6 passengers and 10 full size luggages. Performed well. Good acceleration up to 60, then the high roof definitely slows it down as well as only 170 hp. But will cruise at 85 all day (until you get some strong crosswinds)

I saw that and all i could think was how I would fill it out to live out of it.

It drives good to me I have mines for over a year

Here where I live all the Amazon Mercedes vans are the gas models.

I am keeping an eye out on the electric ------ It is reported to have a range of 300 miles (500ish km) on a single charge. I wouldn't be a first adopter but if I hear good things and I might investigate further. These figures are based on the 170" high roof sprinter and that would the be the van a carpet installer would want. Don't get me wrong ---- I LOVE my 2008 Sprinter but my maintenence costs are high and I like the idea of having the Mercedes ride quality with far less mechanical components.

Wrong the gas engine is being droped for this platform in exchange for the electric.. they are still using the diesel engine. I thought the same thing till i looked it up.

What year did u have

16k? Wow.

@@darthdarthbinkss right for a fuel pump

2016. No joke. They told me it happens more than you think. They said as the fuel pump disintegrates it puts metal through the fuel delivery system and that there isn’t anyway to flush it out so they have to replace the pump, injectors, rails, lines, everything fuel delivery related but they can flush the tank. $16,200 was the estimate. Mine was the 2.1. It’s 19k for the 3.0 v6. They told me I picked up water in the fuel somewhere and found water and metal in the fuel rail. Supposedly vehicle insurance has covered it for some previous clients but Flo had no interest in my situation and denied denied denied. (Now with State Farm saving $100 month, paid flo for over 15 yrs and had the worst adjusters) proof was supplied by garage but ins said it’s just the usa’s diesel. They tried to star the lawsuits current against Bosch for the fuel pump(it’s used in Rams to but they’re replacing theirs, it’s in fords and chevys. Mercedes took no responsibility and said they’re not in the lawsuit which should’ve swayed insurance but nada. Let me just say it hurt after putting about $7k in conversion and 2 months the previous winter to have such a failure 1000miles from home is not convenient. Very discouraged that the repair would be flawless and without faults for that 1000 mile trip home. I drive an f150 now.

how much did u buy that sprinter?

You dont have one so you dont know it very durable van. Yes i have one

Not true, there is a gas engine available, just not with AWD.

@@jadesluv The v6 diesel om642 regularly hit 800k to 1 million km on sprinters, all with proper maintenance and that's it. The frame and van itself was falling apart around the engine and the driveshaft, that's how good they were if driven correctly and taken care of. These 4 cyl will struggle when carrying heavier loads and it will be felt on longevity, let alone the gas engines with their baby torque being forced to pull loads on a commercial level. We're not talking taxies here that a 2.2l handles just fine, we're talking vans.

Test drive it first before butcher it bro. This new 2.0 diesel is much more powerful than previous v6. It is much more powerful than gas v6 junk that most of USA people are driving in their cars. Plus to that 4 cylinder is much more balanced engine than a v6, maintanance coast is much lover plus easier access for maintenance if you like to do it yourself. Also in Europe the same engine on E class produces between 260-300hp, I do not remember # for sure. What it means that this engine has huge power potential, but was downgraded for reliability. My advise try it first, because this is most likely what I will buy by the end of this year 😊

Electric is great for local use, or businesses that park in the same spot every day and can charge up overnight. For people wanting a van for travel or long road trips, electric still has a long way to go.

EV van that needs to be charged 1h for every 2-3 hours of highway driving. No thanks bro, you can have that crap. Lmao.

​@@em4703it's hard to explain basic law of physics to some people that thinks ev will work in commercial Transportation😣. 99% of people are clueless why ev isn't working, but they will try to fight you to a death to proof their invalid points. 😅

​@@serge9021000it will work for local commercial use. The esprinter gets 250+ miles per charge. That's more than enough within a 150 to 200 mile radius.

They were dumb for dropping the 3.0l diesel...

You guys have no idea what this 2.0 is capable of doing. The fact that us customer have iron curtain to Europe diesel market makes as look dumb. Transit ecoboost engine is straight up gas eater, I have f150 with it and I know what I'm saying. This little 2.0 is an awesome engine it was down powered for USA epa standards, but as is it is a beast motor that more powerful than previous v6 diesel. Try to do online research on Europe dlnew diesel cars and you will know what I'm talking about
