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. |

Stellantis will give its brands 10 years to prove they deserve to live
Thu, May 13 2021Formed by the merger of PSA Peugeot-Citroen and Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles, Stellantis has 14 brands under its roof, a number that makes it one of the largest groups in the industry. Rumors claimed not every brand would survive, with Chrysler often earmarked to get axed, but the firm said it will give them all a chance to shine. "We're giving each (brand) a chance, giving each a time window of 10 years and giving funding for 10 years to do a core model strategy. The CEOs need to be clear in brand promise, customers, targets, and brand communications," announced Stellantis boss Carlos Tavares during the Financial Times' Future of the Car event. His comments confirm Chrysler fans and dealers don't need to worry about the future — at least not yet. And, against all odds, Lancia enthusiasts can breathe a sigh of relief, too. Former FCA head Sergio Marchionne warned of the brand's demise on several occasions. Alfa Romeo is safe for now, too, as is Vauxhall, which are basically just Opels sold in the United Kingdom with a different badge. The engagement made by Tavares also means Stellantis won't divest any of its brands to raise capital until at least 2031. It's now up to each executive team to make a case for the brand they run, an unusual survival-of-the-fittest strategy in an era when cutting costs is more common than spending cash. Diving into the vast Stellantis parts bin should help even the most troubled brands turn their fortunes around on a relatively tight budget. It seems likely that survive Chrysler will need to look beyond the 300 and the Pacifica/Voyager, the only models in its range, and completely reinvent its image, which is currently nebulous at best. Lancia, once the champion of luxury, performance, and innovation, faces the same challenge. It's not starting quite from scratch, it's relatively popular in its home country of Italy, but it will need to think globally and expand outside of the city car segment to survive.

2013 Dart GT will hold us over until SRT stokes Dodge's handsome compact
Tue, 08 Jan 2013No, this isn't quite the Dart SRT4 we've been waiting for - and still believe is coming - but as part of its 2013 Detroit Auto Show lineup, Dodge will be showing off the slightly sportier Dart GT seen here.
Building on the already well-equipped Limited model, the GT adds performance enhancements including a more powerful engine, 18-inch aluminum wheels, sport suspension calibration, unique front fascia and dual exhaust. Inside, you'll find perforated Nappa leather seats, a heated steering wheel and front seats, dual-zone climate control, remote start (if you spec the automatic transmission), Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, a seven-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, and a whole lot more. Optional goodies include hyper black aluminum wheels, a technology group (pushbutton start, keyless go, rain-sensing wipers, blind spot monitoring and smart-beam headlamps), power sunroof, Sirius radio, Garmin navigation, Alpine premium sound and high-intensity discharge headlamps.
Powering the Dart GT is Chrysler's 2.4-liter MultiAir2 four-cylinder engine producing 184 horsepower and 174 pound-feet of torque. That grunt is sent to the front wheels via a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic 'box is optional.
Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures
Fri, Dec 19 2014Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.
