5k is suspiciously low for a Sprinter, even with that many miles! At least in my experience, even though kbb/edmunds and other car appraisal websites bring the prices for well used sprinters from the early 2000s between 5k-9k I find they are never going for less than 10k. The market is crazy...

I'm not set on the Sprinter necessarily I just really love that 118 inch wheel base. I am ultimately realizing I probably need a bigger van than the transit connects, but there doesn't seem to be a lot in between until I saw the 118 WB model of the Sprinter. Thanks for the suggestion with the...

"Good" gas mileage for a van is more-so what I am talking about. If I can find a rig that is averaging 20mpg I am going to be a happy camper :)

Well shoot, all of ya'all are making solid sense...suppose I am just a little start struck by the beauty of it all. This van looks amazing! Driving it felt great, didn't seem to me like a vehicle with 270k on it at all. And honestly, it's the 118 inch wheel base that I am loving. I have been...

Well I test drove the van and the guy is right, seems to be in near perfect condition. Unfortunately he wasn't looking to budge on the price at all- leaving me with a $13,500 decision to make Also found out there is actually 270,XXX miles on it- not sure what to think! If it runs forever...

UPDATE:  Called the insurance company and they weren't able to give me much info,.... just told me how much it would cost to cover it.

Yeah I just got this appraisal.... 9-10k from a dealer is the max according to this website, and more like 7k from a private party. But damn! The van is in great shape, I am still going to test drive it tomorrow just to check it out I suppose. Maybe if I drop a line on my research the guy will...

Thats good advice, I will call an insurance company! Unfortunately I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get this guy to shave off the top if a fair price is closer to 8k but he is asking 13.5k! It looks like such good shape it's just hard to believe it can be worth that much with 260k miles on it

Hey ya'all I am looking for advice on the Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter vans. I have one I am eyeing out and test driving tomorrow, it looks to be in great shape. In fact it is flawless aesthetically... owner says mechanically sound as well with brand new tires. They are asking $13,500 for it, and...

Salvage titles have always intimidated me because (despite wishing it weren't so) I am not the most mechanically minded. Last thing I want to do is buy a lemon. Also wanting to buy a clean title so I can sell it off easily should I ever desire. I appreciate the advice!

EDIT: I just posted this and realized there is a typo in the poll, but now I cant seem to find a way to edit the poll after posting it. The last option of the poll should say "over 100k" not under. Thanks!  Fixed the poll for you. rvwandering moderator Hey ya'all- I just came across this site...
