Im at a dealership buying a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 158" 3500 158k miles.
List price is $8000.
I need help determining if this is a good deal (will post pictures in a few minutes).
The good:
Power windows
Incredibly low amount of rust on exterior
Cruise control (and I think this means there is ABS installed?)
Excellent acceleration
I didnt notice any black smoke from exhaust
The bad:
Non-official Engine Codes:
P1482-001 Glow plug module excessive current
P2133-001 Glow plug #1 circuit short to voltage
P2088-002 Intake air temperature sensor ratio too low
P2511-001 EGR valve signal circuit short to ground
P2356-008 ECM internal error
P2032-002 O2 sensor plausibility
P2136-001 Glow plug #4 circuit short to voltage
Non-official Heater Booster Codes:
0200 Flame Out - stored code
0302 Under Voltage - stored code
Non-official Airco Codes
1004-15 No communication with ECM
1007-07 Blower stage 1
Pretty sure there is black death, but I havent opened up the injector cover so see which ones.
No maintenance logs.
Was in an accident (hit an animal, probably a deer), and it had to be towed from the scene.
There is some rust through in the body, below the back doors.
The brakes are incredibly soft, I have to hold them for a while to get any appreciable deceleration.
The heater/fan appears to not work
Passenger side power windows dont work
A strange smell in the cab (maybe due to black death? or is it just natural for diesels?)
Seems kinda rusty underneath the vehicle
The center control knob for heat or whatever doesnt seem to turn. I can press it in, and a red light comes on.
List price is $8000.
