2003 Dodge/mercedes Sprinter 10 Passenger Van on 2040-cars
Year:2003
Mileage:134000
Location:
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. |

Chrysler, Nissan minivans earn 'dire' crash test results, says IIHS [w/video]
Fri, Nov 21 2014First introduced in 2012, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's small-overlap frontal crash test has become the bane of many auto engineers' existence. It's a particularly steep design challenge because it forces just 25 percent of a vehicle's front end to take the brunt of a 40-mile-per-hour impact. The newly released results of four family-minded minivans underscore just how difficult the crash test is: only one scored an Acceptable rating, and the other three did very poorly. The 2008-2015 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, plus the 2011-2015 Nissan Quest, all received Poor ratings in the test, the IIHS' lowest possible score. The three of them showed significant crash intrusion into the driver's area. The dummy in the Nissan actually had to be cut out of the vehicle, with an IIHS spokesperson remarking, "the structure collapsed like a house of cards." In the Fiat Chrysler Automobile vans, the steering wheels moved out of the way, making the airbag less effective and letting the driver's head hit the dashboard. While it was not actually crashed, the agency is also giving the 2009-12 Volkswagen Routan a Poor score because it shares a structure with the FCA models. The newly released results of four minivans underscore just how difficult the small-offset crash test is. The refreshed 2015 Toyota Sienna (shown), conversely, earned an Acceptable rating and is also a Top Safety Pick+ because of its optional forward collision warning and automatic braking system. While the crash test dummy moved around during the impact more than the agency would have liked, sensors showed a low risk of injuries. The IIHS tested the Honda Odyssey last year, and it earned a Good overall score, the agency's best ranking. It's also a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle. The only member of the minivan segment left to test is the latest Kia Sedona, and the Institute is reportedly waiting a little longer for Kia to make changes to improve the model's performance. When reached for comment, Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger provided Autoblog with the following statement: "Nissan is committed to vehicle safety and believes that consumers should have information about crash protection so they can make educated buying decisions. Nissan is proud of the 2014 Quest's "good" rating in the IIHS front moderate overlap and side impact tests as well as a "good" head restraint rating.
