Great... mine is a 2010. I haven't had any mechanical problems with it yet, but it only has about 25k on it. What I don't like is the CHEAP paint job they put on the van and all of the CHEAP plastic crap (brake handle cover, DEF fill tube holder, clips that hold windshield wash fluid onto wiper blades, etc.) that breaks when you touch it.
Most people in my neighborhood park their vehicles outside all year long and none of them are rusting. But you can't leave your Sprinter outside all year long here in the Pacific NW or it will rust. I've had several vehicles in my lifetime and I've never had any with cheap plastic crap (except this Sprinter) that keeps breaking off. I expected a LOT more from a freakin' Mercedes!

Per the Salesman, "Don't get Artic White. It's only ONE coat of paint. Any other color comes with clear coat".
Stone chips are a Mother --------er!
Mine came with a broken brake lever cover. DEF filler tube holder? I was told to be "nice" to the DEF filler cap, they don't like "very"cold weather. Wiper blade clips? Mine came with electrical tape holding one on. I have been thinking about taping the other one on, too. (But I'm an Electrician!)
I haven't broke anything, that wasn't already, somewhat, broke.
301,000 & counting.
