Sprinter 2500: One Owner Low Miles 82k In Great Shape Mechanically And Body on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:82800
Location:

This is the van that I ran my service company out of. The van has been very reliable ever since I purchased it new in Clearwater, except for the first 1200 miles: the voltage regulator went and killed the alternator along with the battery (warrantied). Other than that, I have never been stranded.

The van gets between 20-25 mpg depending on your driving conditions and if the A/C is on. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this van mechanically. The engine fires up with no problem and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly too. I do all of the maintenance myself.

The body has some minor surface rust on the roof rain-gutters, along with a patch of paint missing on the front drivers-side part of the roof (check out one of the pictures). There are some minor dings that are no bigger than a quarter in size (not deep either) here and there—very very minor stuff. I still I get a lot of compliments on this vehicle all of the time, in reference to the condition that it is in.

The wheels do have some flaking paint and surface rust on the lug bolts. The alignment is pretty solid along with the tire balance. The tires are Continental 225/70/15 with plenty of tread life on them. 

You’re probably curious why the spare tire is in the van cargo area, and not in its original space: I had a U-Haul tow hitch welded to the frame. It was supposed to allow the spare to remain in the original position. The spare tire could no longer fit under the van, so that is why it is inside now. There is an aftermarket spare tire rack that can be attached to one of the rear doors to allow the spare tire to remain outside. I just never needed to purchase it.

               

Please feel free to email me with any questions, or if you would like to see the van in person. If you would like to talk on the phone, email me your number and I will get back to you. Please be patient on my return phone calls. I work out of my house, so it shouldn’t be too long to get back to you.

I don’t accept PayPal, a personal check, or credit card. Cashier’s check “only.”

I have the title in hand. You pick up or provide shipping arrangements at your expense.

Is Mopar readying a special-edition Dart for Chicago?

Sat, 26 Jan 2013

Chrysler has released the above teaser of a limited-edition Mopar 2013 model that will be unveiled at next month's Chicago Auto Show. Although the automaker doesn't announce what vehicle will get the Mopar treatment, closer investigation of the seats and center console suggest that this car will be a special version of the 2013 Dodge Dart.
This will be the fourth Mopar model in as many years, following on the heels of the Mopar 2010 Challenger, Mopar 2011 Charger and the Mopar '2012 300. There are no details for the Mopar '13 Dart, but we do see that the car will retain the signature black-and-blue color scheme as past Mopar editions. Like these previous models, we expect production of Mopar '13 Dart to be limited to just 500 units.
Scroll down for Chrysler's press release teasing the new Mopar model, and we'll be sure to bring you plenty of live images from the show floor in a couple weeks.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
