well here's my Take. I have a 04 2500 model, with 580,000 miles on her
. Ist off most of you are correct about the down side of the Sprinter. I too an getting a T-250 low roof ext. with the Eco boost
The Sprinter has one big advantage over the Transit, that's fuel economy, I have gotten 25 MPG about a dozen times and hit 26 MPG twice,
also the best years where 04-06 (don'nt have the time to explain), also the have the highest resale valvue of any commercial van, If you doubt this just check on E-bay, guys are are getting over $20,000 for 5 year old vans with excess of 200,000 miles, went down to the salvage yard they offered me $1,500. I can get $2,500 in a heart beat, Also no transit IMOP will ever hit 1/2 a million miles with the original powertrain
So why am I getting a Ford Transit, for the reasons mentioned
few dealerships
qualified diesel machinic
expensive parts
parts availability (waited four days for a shifter ($700.00)
