Trying to price unicorn Sprinter
Our kids are growing up and we are using our 12 passenger 2009 Dodge Sprinter less and less. It has only ever been used as a family vehicle, never towed (the hitch was just for bike racks, and it has no hookups for a trailer), and has about 158k miles. Its always been maintained with German parts and approved fluids. Its not fancy, with rubber floormats and vinyl seats, but it has working dual AC, DVD players and is generally in good shape with a few scrapes and small dents. Some surface rust on the roof gutters, and on the exhaust pipe, but the body is incredibly solid. This is the NCV3 motor and the last year without DEF.
Recent-ish repairs/maintenance include:
Transmission and diff service
New OEM Alternator
New oil cooler seals
New intake manifolds with new swirl flap motors
New fuel filter
New EGR valve
Major work since 2019 included a new turbo and a new zero mile Mercedes head after a shop destroyed a head trying to replace a glow plug.
Beyond the surface and exhaust pipe rust, imperfections include:
The sunroof mechanicals broke and Dodge didn't have them, so the sunroof was closed and sealed with silicone
Rear AC sometimes leaks water in. Super common with these vans.
I replaced the headlamps with some from halogens from Amazon and the new ones don't have functioning high beams.
Yokohama tires, but the front will need to be replaced soon. Probably needs new front struts and tie rod ends soon.
Most sprinters are either cargo models or the executive coach models. This one has the huge windows of a passenger model with a pretty utilitarian interior.
What would y'all consider to he a fair price for this thing? Comps are scarce.
