At least three times per week people ask me why I have a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. They are curious to know how much my van costs, what kind of gas mileage I get, how expensive repairs are, and where I bought my Sprinter. I answer all of these questions and many more in my new video called: "Why I Love My Sprinter Van." If you're in the market for a VW Eurovan camper, Westfalia, Sportsmobile 4x4, or other type of adventure vehicle, make sure to watch this RU-vid clip first! You can all visit the Mercedes Benz of Medford website at: www.mbmedford.com/

I had Mercedes sedans in my youth; 2 Diesels and a 6 cylinder gas. The older Sprinter I have now has 166K miles. I change the oil (Shell T6, 5W40) for $75 (including filter) and the trans fluid for $65. I had my first problem at $160K with a #2 cylinder fuel injector seat leaking. Three hours of work and $11 for a pack of 5 seal washers and it runs like new again. I added the air foil at the back to improve fuel mileage (approx 3 miles better per gallon at 40mph and above). The Sprinter 5 cylinder I have is just right for my furniture making business and getting all those other jobs done. I added the 2 place MB seat in the back of the van. This van will take me to the end of my driving career. If you use a dealer for maintenance then the cost is almost beyond imagination at $175-200 per hour. Unless you can do the work yourself and you know about Diesel mechanics; I doubt the average American owner can afford the short or long term expense of a Sprinter. I just recently put Koni shocks on the front of the '06 and those were $100 less per shock than the dealer wanted for the parts. I have tried Sachs, KYB, Bilstein and now am very happy with Koni shocks. If you have questions about the 5 cylinder Sprinter just give me a shout.

I love my high top, long wheel base Sprinter. I do bathrooms and kitchens and this is the perfect ride! I had a Chevy extended cab 2500HD with a Royal body and rack before the Sprinter and that Vortec got 10 mpg on a good day down hill. Now, I get 23 mpg with every tool I need on board! Never had a hiccup or a misstep. LOVE it! I drive and average of 600 miles per week and they are a joy. It is like being in a fish bowl with the huge windshield though.

Dodge had the sprinter from back in 2006. Just saying sprinters shouldn't be anything new to anyone. There's a few ways around the 10 mpg in an American van, but let's not forget the thing is a little bit better overtaking on the straights. That's not to say it's a speedster it's just the subtle hint of race breed american engineering urging you to give the ecu a tune. Correctly interpreted you can say the Mercedes is better tailored from the factory for fleet work out of the box compared to american vans. Where american vans would be better suited out of the box for a larger variety of applications such as towing more, as they are rated for towing more. You can even get a duramax now thats more efficient. 33mpg. But this video was posted 6yrs ago now. Making the Duramax of that year or around that time a great option at 23mpg, again not a fuel sipper, but just urging to give the ecu a tune to your specific liking. You can't beat that. That's not even actual mods that you cant do on a sprinter van because you don't have any excess space on the chassis. Not saying its the only way obviously but when you know what you're dealing with, and you way the costs, you'll see that american vans are actually a compelling option not to be downplayed.

I share the same passion. I'm on my 3rd Sprinter van and I have the 4 cylinder 7speed transmission model. Love this thing. I got the 2014 Sprinter Crew version and it cost me just under $50k including the extended warranty(special ordered). 29.6 mpg on I5 south @ 60 mph for 190 miles. So I only used 3.5 gallons of diesel fuel to get from Livermore, Ca to Lost Hill, Ca. So now I know that I can go all the way down to San Diego from Livermore on 1 tankful of fuel. SWEEET!!!!

Dear people of RU-vid, if you haven't filmed anything in public before, you might be surprised to know that you can't just show up in a place and film everything you please. You need to get permission and often pay for permits. I approached my local dealership and asked to spend a day filming on location in order to get some more descriptive shots for my viewers. In exchange, I offer to plug their dealership, which I was happy to do because they've treated me well from the very first day. I don't see anything wrong with that. If you feel like hating on me, that's your right, but FYI, this video has been helpful for thousands of people. Many of them are relaxing in their stellar Sprinter vans in scenic locations right now. So regardless of what hateful things you have to say, I take pride in knowing that I've helped at least a few people fulfill their dream.

Actually you are wrong, you can feel lm anything and anyone can in public. You see that is what the first amendment says, photo or video of even federal buildings that is legal as long as you film anything bing you can see from a public easement, you don’t have to be a journalist or with the press necessarily. But you just wanted to suck that dealerships balls dry for a lower payment or money off in exchange of some promotion. And that, I call bullshit.

Great video mate! You sold me! ;-) I've had my Hiace van for nearly 4 years now and really enjoy having a van that I can fit all my adventure toys in and also sleep in. Whilst nowhere near as large and nice as your Sprinter, I have had 6 mountain bikers and their bikes in it, 3 kayaks and well over a pallet load of dehydrators (30) in it many times.

I have a 1986 17 ft Chevy camper van. my van is my favorite vehicle that I've ever owned and by far the easiest vehicle to drive.while most people would probably find it intimidating to drive. it's super easy and I like the fact that I sit up so high and can see far away while driving.

My wife and I have a 2009 2500 Extra long wheelbase ERA Winnebago Sprinter conversion and we absolutely love it. It is everything we need and want both for our production business and when traveling the country. Let the dislikers dislike for whatever reason - it is what it is.

I am reading these comments and WHEW! The negativity is ridiculous. The Bible says that as a man speaks, so is his heart. A tree is known by his fruit. so ignore the Debbie Downers. Not everyone can run out and buy a new vehicle, today and unless these rude people are paying for your vehicle, they need to knock their negativity off and get off your channel. Plus, God has blessed me with tremendous blessings. My friend and I bought the same car the same week, without knowing, and he paid $5 K more than I did and I also got a 2yr additional warranty. Anyway, I am learning from you and definitely will take some of your advise when I finally get a travel van. We used to quote and laugh @ Chris Farley as the motivational speaker who "Lived In A Van Down By The River!" and Now I want one!!

I have a Sprinter 2016 passenger van, 144in base, low roof, 4x4, used for vacations only (highways 70%). mpg decreases significantly with speed, at 60-65 you can get 22mpg, at 80 miles/hour mpg is 17.4. at 20,000 miles the oil change and first scheduled maintenance costs 350$. it requires 13quarts of oil but that lasts 20k miles. you can buy the oil change kit from the dealer for 175$ and do it yourself in 15 minutes without voiding the warranty. the vehicle is excellent, at 26,000 everything is functioning perfectly. the 4 cylinder engine has 20% better mpg (combined 23-24mpg) and decent power but no 4x4.

cristian morariu is that the 3.0 6 cylinder engine or the 2.1 4 cylinder engine because I heard the six cylinder engine gets closer to 20 miles per gallon and the four-cylinder engine because it has a 7-speed transmission mated to it will get closer to 25 miles per gallon even with a high roof

The 4WD Sprinter would be a better choice, but I'm glad to see you bought what you got: a standard wheelbase with a tall roof and a Bluetec Diesel engine. I see more people in these than I see in Ford, GM, or Dodge vans with gas engines. Mercedes-Benz does stand behind their vehicles, including the Sprinter vans!

Nice job, Sergei. I have a Sprinter van. Am building a camper conversion and love the fact that I can stand in it. Have enough room for a shower, kitchen, beds, storage, toilet and can fit 2 motorcycles in the back and get 17 to 20mpg. Took it to an ORV park near Spokane this weekend. Rode my CRF450x for a whole day. Got back in my Sprinter. Stealth camped. Woo hoo. Love this van....and I didn't get paid by no Benz dealer to say that. Sergei is a great guy.

I love your video. I wonder if you are not trying to sell me something. However, I really like these vans for the exact point you make. I want to use it in campgrounds that have bathrooms so I don't need a potty. I would be nice to carry lumber. I have a small boat so I can't use a travel trailer that well. Then if you get an small RV you won't want to drive it around town. You can build a small bed in seconds. Throw a refrig and propane heater in back. Then you could easily bring briefcase solar panels if you need them and eventually put them on the roof. Then the used diesel vans are 20K and they need smog checks. Mileage should be better than a Class B. Seems way nicer than a SUV but I do like the looks of Subaru SUVs. May even be slightly cheaper than dodge or ford vans.

@Maples01
@Maples01 8 лет назад
Joshua Brown Yep, my 99 E350 has a bad coil pack, so the answer is to replace them all, need to do the plugs while you're at it, close to $800. My 73, I put power brakes on it after driving 6 years without, did the work myself, changed the plugs, upgraded to electronic ignition. I chose the older one due to knowing the cost of repairs, along with the current vehicles being loaded with costly electronics required to keep them going, if you are on disability you will find it impossible to pay for repairs and get out at the same time. A friend gave me a wheelchair lift, some guys on a truck website came over and set it up inside, I had another friend bolt it down, then I wired it up, my 73 was purchased using money collected after an idiot ran over the lift in my 99 at a gas station, I couldn't get it repaired, the Braun dealer in my area wasn't interested, so I left it alone. I have learned how to get by. I built my own interior in it, has a nice fullsize bed, cabinets and what you will find, you can't do your bowel program in a van, get yourself an enclosed trailer, about a 6'x12' minimum and you can get what you need done, a regular wheelbase van is just not enough, take it from me.

It's tough to gauge with little white partnership lies. I'm sure you are personally satisfied with your work, but I don't think it's realistic. You never mentioned a chevy option, cost of non maintenance, or modifications. I don't have it all figured out. I think there is good here, and I think it can be realistic, but I don't think a sprinter is the best option. I don't want to take away from partnerships, but I do think people deserve some truth in productions every now and then, even if it costs you to do it. To me it's worth it, and a higher quality production if you do. My two cents.

Not gonna lie, while this van is cool in several aspects there it’s s nothing better than the tough manly looking econoline 4x4 lifted on 32” tires are o really get you into the mountains with out lacking horsepower like the Mercedes does, sure it has lots of torque for the engine but everyone says they lack hp specially on steep climbs on roads and that is a fact. But you did not mention that, sit there and lie to us about me being right-go ahead

Hottie with a beard. Tall so you can't put it in a garage & Canada is chilly and hard to keep warm inside in the winter or cool I'm the summer.. Diesel - owned a Smart. Another Mercedes engine. $400 oil changes. Any repairs were a fortune. It does have 4x4 version but $$$. But true a VW Van is $20,000 in mint condition and 20 years old at times. But you're definitely easy on the eyes!!!! 😍

What he is not talking about is that this specific van is notorious for early rusting 3-5 years tops , than you see rust bleeding through everywhere..!!!..and sorry dude , everything you say is way over blown ..

@johnyhansen1362
@johnyhansen1362 7 лет назад
just wait a little longer ..I live up here North in Canada and they use a lot of salt on the roads..my point here again that this specific vehicle is notorious for rust due to the cheap sheet metal they use wit only one primer and 2 finish coats..do a little research and find out for yourself ...oh and forgot to mention that is way overpriced for a van with O insolation on the inside..its like when you slam the washroom door ..sounds so hollow ...dude..get over it !

Johny Hansen. I own a Sprinter. True about the rust. This is a beautiful piece of machinery contained in a rust bucket. Shame on you Mercedes.

i own a 95' sprinter, and it was already repainted when i bought it when the van was 7 year old, and 5 years later, i had do alot of welding al around it, so they are real rust buckets. When i buy another one, then the first thing i'm going to do is spend 1000 euro's in rust prevention, because i don't want to weld another 12 feet of sheet metal again.
@anonymousreviewer1711
@anonymousreviewer1711 7 лет назад
Just did a google search on how to prevent rust on cars and literally the first thing that popped up was to get your car washed regularly. Wash your nasty ride.
