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. |

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?
Tue, 08 Jan 2013Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.
2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
Dodge Hellcat orders on hold due to 'unprecedented demand'
Sun, Mar 15 2015Want to get your hands on a 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger or Charger Hellcat to call your very own? We don't blame you, and you're not alone. According to Motor Authority and confirmed by a spokesperson from Chrysler, Dodge has gotten so many orders for its stable of Hellcats that it simply cannot keep up with demand: "Due to unprecedented demand for the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcats, we are temporarily restricting orders while we validate current orders that are in the system." Put another way, if you're waiting for a Hellcat, your wait is likely to be a lot longer than you'd like. We've reached out to Chrysler to find out how long it might take for a new customer to get a new Hellcat, and we'll update if and when we hear back.
