Well equipped Dodge Sprinter Van, 2500 144" wheelbase, 3.92 rear.
This is my third Sprinter. I had previously owned a 2004 and 2007 and all of them performed beautifully for me over the years. I bought this van new in January 2010 from a Dodge dealer in Oregon to use as a service vehicle for my two-way radio company in Sanford, N.C. This van was purchased during the Mercedes-Chrysler divorce and I was worried that they would no longer be imported and new diesels were going to have to meet more stringent emissions (Urea, AdBlue). My 2007 Sprinter only had 80k miles and had plenty of service life but it was a plain white typical dealer stock model with no options. I wanted a new van with a color other than white and to have a few of the cool MB options that are really hard to find. I searched dealer inventories all over the US before finding this one. I called the dealer and asked about it. Supposedly the dealer had a relationship with an RV conversion company and had special ordered this van for them. The RV company had gone under and the dealer had this one on the lot for nearly a year. With a sticker price north of $52,000 it wasn't going to sell to the typical cargo van buyer. We negotiated a price and I bought a plane ticket, flew out and had a great road trip driving it back to N.C. during a January thaw. Since purchasing I have installed a rear bench seat I found on Ebay. Installed 1.5" Armacell thermal/acoustic foam inside all the cavities and lined the walls and rear roof with carpet covered plywood panels. Replaced the OEM Continental tires with Michelins, Upgraded the shocks with Bilsteins all around, Replaced the brake pads with Performance Friction pads and installed the Adrian Steel shelving I had removed from my prior owned Sprinters. The van is on the second set of Michelin LTX tires with only about 20k on them. The first set was installed at 3,500 miles and they lasted 90k. My average MPG is 21.5 over life. Best MPG 24.2 (really trying) and worst MPG is 18.1. The van had a static load of roughly 1k pounds while it was in service for me. It was my toolbox on wheels and always had what I needed in easy reach inside to complete a project. The dynamics of my business has changed since we opened a shop and I'm no longer doing the amount of field work I used to do so I've decided to sell it and work from a smaller vehicle (F-150). The condition of the van is very good. Not perfect, but probably closer to it than anything else I've seen used for sale with half the miles. Everything works as it should and anything needing attention got it. The van was washed regularly and garage kept. My customers frequently asked if it was a new one. The pictures don't do it justice and I'm the type to under promise and over deliver. I have kept all the records for service. Oil changes were done every 10k as recommended and only Mercedes Mobil 1 ESP recommended oil was used, The transmission fluid was replaced at 60k. Fuel and air filters were replaced as scheduled. I performed much of the maintenance work myself (oil & filter changes) and the Mercedes dealer in Fayetteville took care of the more intensive services. The van has been very reliable outside of a minor power steering leak (loose fitting), an EGR temp sensor and a bad glow plug (all were replaced). Now for the ugly part... I was rear ended a few months ago. Stopped at a light and wham... an unlicensed driver hit us from behind. $4,000 in damage and a week plus out of service for repairs. The rear step bumper was bent under and some body damage was done behind the plastic trim. I had everything so much as scratched replaced and the bottom of the rear doors were repainted. The body shop did a really good job and it looks good again. I've included a few pictures I took the day after the wreck. Moving on to the options. I had the window sticker scanned and saved on a computer that died so I'm going to try to list everything based on memory in order of favorites. There may be more items than mentioned. Suspension seats. They are adjustable to your weight and remove any feeling from road imperfections. They are also heated and have comfort headrests and armrests. Bi-Xenon lights. Awesome. They are self leveling from a sensor on the rear axle and have washers that spray them clean with windshield. Rain sensing wipers. Adjusts intermittent windshield wiper time and speed. Kenwood Excelon DNX6990HD radio with Garmin Navigation, HD radio, Bluetooth, DVD, iPod, backup camera and everything else. Has the steering wheel control interface too. Deluxe instrumentation with information display - shows tire pressure, service intervals etc. Graphite gray metallic paint. Fog lights Suspension: Heavy duty front spring, Rear stabiliser bar. Lighting package - overhead console/map lights. Perimeter lighting with remote. 3.92 axle 16" Alloy wheels 220 amp alternator Electric heater booster Roof rails Side curtain airbags 2 additional keys (4 total) Sliding door stop holds door at half open. Power windows, locks, mirrors Rear window and side mirror defrost. The van will be sold with the original radio, touch-up paint and any remaining service parts I have. I'm listing it with a buy it now and low reserve. I can pick up the buyer at RDU airport and will assist with delivery if needed. I can be reached at 9197404141 for any questions. |

2025 SRT Hellcat concepts as previewed by high schoolers
Thu, Jan 21 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has some very talented designers in its ranks. Like any good company, though, the automaker is always on the lookout for early talent. Even if they're still in high school. One of those talent-seeking initiatives is the company's Drive for Design contest, an event open to tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students that are hoping for a future in design. For this year's event, students from across the country were given a shot to design their vision for a 2025 model-year Dodge SRT Hellcat. The results are impressive, as you can see in the gallery above. First place went to Ben Treinen, from Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati. Second place was the only award to go to a student outside the Rust Belt, with Macon, GA's Harrison Kunselman, a student at Mount de Sales Academy taking the silver. Third place was won by a metro Detroiter – Bloomfield Hills High School student Hwanseong Jang, while fourth went to Andrew Gombac of Loyola Academy in Wilmette, IL. According to FCA, all four winners will have their sketches on display at the 2016 Autorama at Cobo Center at the end of February. They'll also win some pretty nifty prizes. First place will get a new Apple MacBook Pro, while second, third, and fourth get the new Apple iPad Pro and Apple Pencil (arguably just as good of a prize for budding designers). All four finishers will also attend a three-week automotive design course at Detroit's prestigious College for Creative Studies, have dinner with FCA designers, and score three passes to Autorama. FCA will cover travel and lodging to Auburn Hills. Read on for the official blast from FCA.

"The Drive for Design contest continues to be a great way for the FCA US Design team to connect with students that show an interest in art and design," said Mark Trostle – Head of Dodge and SRT Design, FCA US LLC.
Dodge celebrates centennial with Charger and Challenger 100th Anniversary Editions
Tue, 19 Nov 2013In 1914, the Dodge brothers went from being a parts supplier to a full-scale automaker, and to celebrate the centennial of this milestone, Dodge will offer special editions of the 2014 Charger and Challenger early next year. Both cars will be sold in limited numbers (although no specific number was given), and these cars will stand out thanks to unique touches like 20-inch wheels, 100th anniversary edition logos and the exclusive High Octane Red Pearl Coat paint job (shown above).
The 100th Anniversary Edition package, which runs $2,200 on the 2014 Charger and $2,500 on the 2014 Challenger, comes with red or black leather seats with a cloud print (for a denim-like look) and metal badges on the seatbacks that read "Dodge Est. 1914," while similar logos are also found on the wheel center caps and front fenders. The instrument gauges are unique to each car, with the Charger getting black gauges and the Challenger getting white gauges, and to enunciate the 100-year anniversary, both cars have red numerals on the speedometer for the 100-mile-per-hour mark.
Finishing off the 100th Anniversary Edition cars, which will be offered on V6 and R/T models, Dodge adds a flat-bottom steering wheel and embroidered floor mats as a part of the package. Scroll down for the full press release for these commemorative models.
2015 Dodge Charger configurator opens up shop
Thu, Dec 11 2014Itching to get your hands on a new 2015 Dodge Charger? Your day is almost nigh, my friend While you're waiting, you can spec out how you'd want your muscle sedan to look as Dodge has included the revised four-door in its online configuration tool. Though it's not the most impressive or interactive of configurators we've seen, the site lets you choose any color you want (from the limited array available anyway) along with all the key options packages and such. First you'll need to choose a trim level though, but we're afraid the Hellcat version isn't part of this site, and the SRT site hasn't launched a configurator yet for the world's fastest production sedan, so you'll have to choose between SE, SXT and R/T trim levels.
