See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Small hole in drivers seat from getting in and out, paint a little dinged up here and there, nothing out of the ordinary for a pretty clean vehicle from 2005."

The Good:

It is really clean inside and out, runs great, and has a fairly new (June 2013-2014) Virginia safety inspection. I took it to my mechanic who services these vans for FedEx, and he said it looks great. FedEx gets 500,000 miles out of these vehicles, so there is a lot of life in it, and it is a strong solid van. I really like this van, and I kind of hate to get rid of it. It is a strong quiet ride, and comes with lots of extras not included in the pictures. I have toolboxes and shelves that are in good shape, but I do not have them installed currently. I will take pictures of the toolboxes if you want and send them to you, but it is a set of 3 units, bot sliding drawers and shelves, intended to be used inside a work van. Installed, they take up most of one side of the van. They are also loud when you are driving, which is why I took them out. I also have a bench seat for three people that has never been used. I will include it in you want it. It is really clean, and comes with the brackets to install the seat. Also comes with a trailer hitch and ball, although ball is not on hitch in pictures.

In addition, this van comes with the fancy Mercedes rims. I hate to brag, but they really add a lot of the appearance of the van!

Currently, this has about 156500 miles on it, slightly less, but easily has many years and hundreds of thousands miles left if in it. This is powered by a very strong Mercedes 5-cylinder diesel engine. Even comes of a full tank of diesel! You won't find a nicer, cleaner Sprinter Van at this price. I have insulated the walls and floor with closed cell insulation, to make it a nicer quieter ride. Also, this will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than a stock van. Sometimes you see wool or cotton insulation (open cell insulation), but this absorbs water and the van rusts from the inside out. Not going to happen to this one. Traditionally, these vans also have some trouble with the factory seals on the high top roof, and start to leak water. The seals don't do a great job of flexing when you are driving down the road and hit bumps. This has been water proofed with 3M marine sealant, primed, painted, and clear coated, so you won't have to worry about this down the road.

This does run on biodiesel and normal diesel, and right now there is normal diesel in it. That is all I have ever put in it. My dream was to use this as part of a transportation company, and run it homemade biodiesel, therefore cutting way back on fuel costs, a major expenditure for a transportation business. I acquired 40 some gallons of veggie oil, a bunch of supplies, a water heater for the oil, filters, etc. and realized that it is long and difficult process that I really didn't want to deal with. I was also concerned about the legality of doing this as a business. If you do it in your back yard, no one seems to care. If you do this as a business, you might have to deal with transportation of hazardous materials, use of nasty chemicals, disposal of waste, etc. Didn't want to get in legal trouble as a business. I decided to keep on working at my job and not pursue this. My loss, your gain.

The Bad:

There is a small hole in the drivers seat from getting in and out. The paint is a little dinged up, but nothing out of the ordinary for a van from 2005. Missing one rear mud flap. The title says the listed mileage is not actual, but it is from the previous owner not knowing exactly how many miles were on it when he registered it. He did not have the van with him, made a good guess, and said the mileage was an estimate, therefore not actual. In reality, the mileage on the van is fully and totally correct, but I have not been able to get this off the title, but I have tried. On the vehicle report, there is also something about a lien, but I have the title in hand, free and clear with no liens. Just for your information, the three owners were as follows. 1. Mercedes dealer used this as a parts delivery vehicle for a bit, then sold it. 2. A solar company in VA used this as a work van, but they went out of business. 3. I bought it to use in starting a transportation company, but decided not to go this route.

What to use it for?

What a perfect vehicle for lots of different things.

Often people use them as work vans because they have so much room in them. Easily slide in 4x8 sheets and have lots of room left over. Haul 10, 12, and 14 foot lumber with no problem. Stand up and walk around in your van. Keep your tools dry, protected, and fully enclosed. This van even comes with a ladder rack installed and tool boxes that I don't have installed right now. Let me know if you want pictures with the toolboxes.

Sometimes people use these as Recreational Vehicles. This van is already insulated for a nice quiet ride, and it stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than a stock van. Heat and A/C are real strong. Easy conversion if you are interested. While there are no seats in it now, I do have a bench seat for three people that has never been used. I will include it with the van in you are interested.

These vans are also great for sports enthusiasts. For tailgating, this would be great. How many coolers, grills, food, and guys could you easily fit in here, all while staying out of the rain and keeping your supplies dry and protected. For motorcycle racing, store and transport your bike(s) and equipment in here, and you can sleep comfortably and save money on a hotel room. For scuba diving, have a van full of gear, plenty of room to change and sleep, and take people with you.

Stellantis mega-merger gets approval from FCA, PSA shareholders

Mon, Jan 4 2021

MILAN — Shareholders of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot decisively voted Monday to merge the U.S.-Italian and French carmakers to create worldÂ’s 4th-largest auto company. Addressing separate meetings, both PSA Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares and Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann spoke of the Â“historicÂ” importance of the vote, which combines legacy car companies that helped write the industrial histories of the United States, France and Italy. Before the merger is finalized, shares in the new company, to be called Stellantis, must the launched. It will be traded in Milan, New York and Paris. The marriage of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is built on the promise of cost-savings in the capital-hungry industry, but what remains to be seen is if it will be able to preserve jobs and heritage brands in a global market still suffering from the pandemic. The deal will create the worldÂ’s fourth-largest carmaker, with the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, behind Volkswagen, Toyota and Renault-Nissan, and create 5 billion euros in annual synergies.Â Â“We are fully aware of the fact that together we will be stronger than individually,'' PSA CEO Carlos Tavares told a virtual gathering of eligible shareholders. Â“The two companies are in good health. These two companies have strong positions in their markets.Â” The new company will put together under one roof French mass-market carmakers Peugeot and Citroen, top-selling Jeep and Italian luxury and sports brands Maserati and Alfa Romeo - pooling companies that have helped define the industry in the United States, France and Italy. While the tie-up is billed as a merger of equals, the power advantage goes to PSA, with Tavares running Stellantis and holding the tie-breaking vote on the 11-seat board. Tavares is set to take full control of the company early this year, possibly by the end of January. Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann, heir to the Fiat-founding Agnelli family and Fiat ChryslerÂ’s biggest shareholder, will be the Stellantis chairman. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will head North American operations, which is key to Tavares' long-time goal of getting a U.S. foothold for the French carmaker he has run since 2014, and the clear money-maker for Fiat Chrysler. Such a deal was long wanted by Fiat ChryslerÂ’s long-time CEO Sergio Marchionne, who had predicted the necessity of consolidation in the industry. He was unable to find a deal before his sudden death in July 2018.

MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance

Fri, Feb 26 2016

Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example Â– but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
