Hello,
I'm cross posting this on a sprinter forum, so I'm sorry if you're seeing it twice. Also, if this is an innapropriate thread, no hard feelings if it gets moved or deleted. I'm in the very early stages of considering selling a van I thought I'd keep for at least a decade, so I'm not ready to throw a classified post together and would appreciate any info from folks who might be more familiar with the used market for these vans:
I bought this van as a long term escape pod when I intended to retire at the beginning of next year... now I plan to work for another four years and a 4x4 Sprinter high roof makes much less sense as a daily driver here in NJ. I'm not completely sold on the idea of moving it on and perhaps I just need to take another road trip to fall in love with it, but right now, in the middle of summer beach traffic and the prospect of having to use it as a commuter... I'm thinking long and hard about how nice a Range Rover Sport or Disco TD6 would fill its shoes.
I'd like some input from you guys as to what I should ask for it.
Specs:
2017 4x4 Crew, 144, white. Bought as a leftover last summer (2018). Approximately 8k on the clock and will rise slightly each week.
I've added the following so far:
Maxxair roof fan (12v adapter)
RB Components folding sofa bed
OEM roof rails
Aluminess light bar with baja design LED lamps
Aluminess ladder
Ranger seat covers
Blue Ridge Overand modular seat backs with pouches
L-track
Luftkraft passenger side swivel (not installed)
AT3's (including the spare)
Terrawagen Snorkel
This winter I intended to insulate and panel the interior and (MAYBE) add a diesel heater. As it is, the build is basic and quite utilitarian so far as I've spent the past several years driving old 4x4 Land Rovers with Roof Top Tents. So I've treated this van as a giant metal tents on wheels and had no plans to add plumbing etc.
As I financed the van through MB USA they included a 100k factory warranty. At this early stage I'm uncertain about the transfer-ability of that. Anyway, here is a picture, because everyone loves pictures and thanks in advance for any input:
