I am looking at buying my first sprinter
I want a short tall 2006 and older.
I found. 2006 118 low roof 150,000 km 2 owner van that was used for light carpentry work
Painted 6 years ago and the rust just starting to come back, although the hood front 2 inches is totally rusted away hidden by plastic trim. Doors have been oiled and are in great shape. Oiled underneath.
Brake line repaired,(that tells me it is some rust for a brake line to go) transmission flushed, plus other small things done, new tires etc
Paying about 7k usd, nervous as hell, as it is about 900 miles away.
I pasted on a 06 short tall with 185000 kms on it in Toronto owned by a painter, looks okay and the price 5500usd. I really want the short tall but the only work he has done is brakes and no history prior to that.
I'm I guess what you would call semi retired, plan to use it for work but the main reason is I plan a trip to the west coast from the east coast and want to make a conversion camper.
I'm I paying too much and should I be looking for the lowest mileage vehicle I can find?
