But they all appear to be VS30 and not NCV3 (where you have posted)

And they are in USA, not UK but somebody might be interested in upgrade.
Would they come 1/2 year ago, I might go for 1 and put my camper on the back as a unit, instead of parting the camper and putting appliances inside the bus I bought.

About 500 new Sprinter cab & chassis sold today between $16k and $20k.
Few silver gained about $1000 more than comparable white ones.
They had 3 silver with painted bumper and those sold for over $21k.
I wonder how much this sale will affect our Sprinters resale value?

What constitutes storm damage on them?

What constitutes storm damage on them?

I zoomed on lot of pictures of those Sprinters and none of them had visible damage.
So my guess is that whoever imported those vans to US run into some legal or financial problems and that is why such a big number of new vans hit the auction.
Interesting that legally the Florida dealer is listed as 1st owner of them, while they are park 600 miles north and most come with 20 miles on odometer.
