2003 Dodge/mercedes Sprinter 10 Passenger Van on 2040-cars
West Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is a 2003 Dodge Sprinter 10 passenger van that I purchased brand new in 2004. If you are familiar with sprinters, then you already know that these vans can go for 500,000 miles without major repairs. The fuel mileage can be over 24mpg if driven with restraint. I have absolutely loved owning this van. It is a pleasure to drive, and is the most versatile vehicle I have ever owned. There is 72" of headroom , so no more crouching down! With all seats in, it will haul 10 adults, and still have 2' of cargo space behind the last seat. With seats removed, you can lay a 4'x10' piece of plywood flat with the rear doors closed. I have persnally hauled a 5' x12' piece of particle bd. standing on edge with the rear doors closed(between the front seats).The volume is just amazing, and you will be instantly popular with family/friends who want to haul stuff. Many sprinters have been converted to haul lifts for wheelchairs, or configured for camping. The possibilities are endless. The mercedes diesel inline 5 cylinder turbocharged engine has plenty of power and gets very good fuel mileage. Later models have v6 engines that do not get as good of mileage. The 5 speed automatic transmission is perfect for this van. cruising on the highway, the overdrive 5th gear keeps the engine rpms low for good mileage. If you have never driven a diesel, you will be pleasantly surprised with how quiet the engine is and lack of smoke or stink. The bad news: The only complaint I have with the sprinter van is the paint/sheet metal. The factory paint leaves a lot to be desired, and the sheet metal is prone to rust. I actually had the right rear door replaced under warranty for rust perforation. The body has been subjected to minor dents and dings, but the rust spots are the most annoying. I have tried to capture all of the main rust spots with the photos. I think you can get a pretty good idea of the condition of the body. You are welcome to come inspect and test drive before bidding. I also had some monor roof leaks, which I have not addressed, but should be pretty easy to seal up. There is a very small exhaust leak in the exhaust pipe which should be pretty easy to fix. factory options: Rear Air condintioning/cooling group, premium adjustable driver and passenger seats, cruise control, power windows, power locks, heated outside mirrors, facory blind spot mirrors, rear defroster, espar diesel fired hydronic heater. personal upgrades: passenger side color coded steps, rear view camera,class iv trailer hitch, polished stainless steel bull bar, mercedes grill/ badging, front seat swivels,turbo boost guage, HID headlights, HD radio/cd player, carpathian burlwood door panels, Mercedes G-wagon aluminum wheels, tires. warranty work: High pressure fuel injection pump replaced, egr valve replaced, intake manifold replaced under factory recall, rear passenger door replaced under warranty. recent(within the last 2 months) service: Front and rear brand new brake rotors and pads new battery new alternator-150 amp a/c recharge transmission service including new fluid/filter, replaced conductor plate, replaced electric connector/seals(known to leak) VAN IS SOLD AS IS WHERE IS, NO WARRANTY, NO RETURNS. van is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel sale at any time. |

Dodge Scat Pack for 5.7L Hemi V8 detailed, priced
Sat, 05 Apr 2014Dodge revived the Scat Pack name back in November at the 2013 SEMA show. At the time, though, we were short of details on forthcoming upgrade packages, which were destined to add some oomph to the Challenger, Charger and Dart. We're still waiting to hear about the upgrades to the Dart's 2.4-liter four-pot, but Dodge has gone ahead and released the details on the upgrades to the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the Challenger and Charger R/T.
As we detailed in our original post, three different Scat Packs will be available that will allow customers to upgrade their cars without voiding the warranties. Starting with the $2,195 Stage 1 kit, owners will net an extra 18 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque thanks to a Mopar-branded cold-air intake, exhaust and ECU ref lash. Stage 1 is also the only package that could be installed outside of a Chrysler-authorized service center without voiding the warranty (a mechanically competent owner could even do it at home, we're told by Dodge). Stage 2 builds on the entry level Scat Pack, and adds performance camshaft kit, which boosts output over the stock 5.7 by up to 30 hp for $1,895. As with the Stage 1, the ECU is tweaked.
For those that want to go whole hog, they can add the Stage 3 for $4,995. The top-tier gets quite serious, adding CNC-ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow headers and cats. Output over stock is 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque. Each kit comes with a pair of badges, just in case owners want a bit of visual flair.
2013 Dodge Challenger R/T hits the Redline
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Dodge has added a bit of spice to its Hemi-powered Challenger for 2013, offering up this new Redline package that makes its official debut at the Chicago Auto Show. The R/T Redline builds on the Rallye Redline kit that was created for the V6 Challenger, and we like how these subtle changes add to the muscle coupe's already classic styling.
In addition to the black chrome 20-inch wheels with red accents, the R/T Redline adds subtle graphics along the beltline. Inside, cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission get a performance tuned exhaust that allows the engine to send a full 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. (Redline Challengers with the five-speed automatic produce 372 hp and 400 lb-ft.)
The Redline package retails for $1,995 and can be had on both Challenger R/T and R/T Plus models. Scroll down for the full press blast.
Saleen SA-30 Mustang, Camaro and Challenger help celebrate the big 3-0
Fri, 22 Nov 2013After 30 years of tuning performance cars and building racecars, Saleen is celebrating its racing heritage with a limited-production car line called SA-30. Based on the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, Saleen will only build 10 of each SA-30 model at a base price of $95,000.
For that money, buyers will get upgraded suspension, brakes and engines, and while the power figures have not been released for the SA-30 620 Camaro and SA-30570 Challenger models, the SA-30 302 Mustang will be the top performer with 625 horsepower. Each car will be painted up in a custom pearl white hue with black and yellow accents, and get white wheels shrouding yellow powder-coated brake calipers. Inside, the SA-30 offerings will all get a proper Saleen interior with black leather and white Alcantara on the seats, along with the expected smattering of SA-30 badges.
On all three SA-30 models, customers will have various options available to further customize their cars, including a rear-seat delete option that transforms each car's cabin into a race-inspired interior with a chassis-strengthening rear cross brace. Perhaps the coolest feature of all, though, is the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass that is an option on the SA-30 302 Mustang. Similar to the Mercedes Sky Control roof first introduced on the Mercedes SLK, the Saleen Frost-Touch Glass allows the Mustang's optional glass roof and rear window to be switched from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
