The Mercedes Sprinter is one of the most popular live-in vehicles on the market. Dependable engines, availability of parts, various body configurations, and a vast array of aftermarket parts and accessories are just some of the benefits. I frequently look at 4×4 Sprinters whenever my 1986 Syncro is being particularly problematic because they’re a relatively hassle-free alternative. I appreciate that no vehicle is without its issues, but the fact that this is the van of choice for many high-mileage courier firms says a lot about the Sprinter’s reliability. This 2004 2WD example is meticulously maintained (I don’t say that lightly and recommend checking out the full listing for details), showcases a bespoke camper conversion, and incorporates a number of overlanding modifications and accessories.
From the Seller:
“This Sprinter was owned its entire life by Baker Mercedes in South Carolina as a parts runner. One of the mechanics bought it when they retired it, and I have screenshots of the CarFax showing the history of services since new. It does have high mileage, but depending on who you ask, some people think the best T1Ns are higher milers since more stuff has been changed and everything on this van has been replaced with OEM [parts] from the dealer. Everything I have replaced has been bought from Europarts of San Diego, MMS, IDParts.com, or the dealer.”
