Sprinters
Mike Brady wrote: They won't go as long as a Sprinter but the price tag is way way cheaper. They are plenty capable. Yea well it depends who you ask. I've seen Sprinters go to complete crap requiring extensive, continuing repairs about a month after they were bought. I would love a Sprinter but it's an exceptional gamble to spend $20k on something with 180k miles, which for most vehicles is the end of its service life. Anything with reasonable miles is so expensive you're better off staying in hotels. |

older high milege vehicles no matter what the brand all come with the added stress of whats going to break next...... |

Running champ. Juss sayin'.... |

I have had a similar experience with mine but mine had about 160K on it. I have proactively maintained so as to not wait for something to fail. The thing has been bullet proof up until now. Of course there is more to a vehicle than a motor and with 150k+ things will start to need attention but I have never heard of a maintained Sprinter breaking down after a month of use. My friend bought o with 375k miles on it and the thing is still a tank. The furthest I have seen an Astro go is about 325K and the thing was limping and that wasn't on the original motor. |

Hopeing to get maybe 220K on my astro but who knows... it could blow up tomorrow..... My dream is a 4x4 sprinter but that is just a dream at this point....... |

Also, anyone out there use Mobius Concepts to build them an interior, kinda wondering what a build goes for. Mobius... Don't do it!

Mobius... and they've had Steph Davis pimping their creations... Sad their business isn't satisfying customers. |
