Runs strong, drives well, and fully usable as-is.
Ideal for:
• Vanlife
• Road trips
• Weekend camping
• Mobile workspace
This is an honest, dialed-in rig — not a show build, but a practical and proven setup.
⸻
Mechanical
• Reliable Mercedes diesel engine
• Good fuel efficiency
• Turbo resonator upgrade
• Starts easily, drives strong
• Recently inspected — overall solid condition
Note:
There is some oil seepage typical of older Sprinters.
Engine was cleaned and inspected — oil level remains stable and it has not affected performance.
