I bought my 2005, 2.7l cdi 2500 158" hi roof sprinter new. It has been perfect for my remodeling buisness. I built shelves on either side to hold bins of tools and still have room in the center for materials. When I show up on the job with my sprinter peoples perception of me is always positive. It has been the single best decision I ever made reguarding my buisness. But.... I have a few complaints.
1. The visor! do the roads in germany only go due east/west. why, oh why is there not a side visor???
2. no tilt steering? is there a valid reason that there is no tilt steering? my previous vehicle cost 1/3 as much as my sprinter but it had tilt steering.
3. the lumbar support pump broke within a couple months and the dealer didn't have a fix
4. the intermittent wipers only have one time setting (about 10 seconds)
5. the air vent is always open! if you dont want "fresh" air you must push a button to close the outside air vent and then it only stays closed for 15 minutes! (I used a zip tie on the louver under the hood to hold it closed permanetly) If I want fresh air I will open a window
6. the lights in the cargo area fell into the body cavity when I tried turning them on (I replaced one with a larger replacement light controlled by a three way switch so it functions the same way as the original)
JUST SAYIN
