Are Mercedes Sprinter vans expensive to maintain?
The cost in maintaining and repairing these vehicles is a staggering average of ten cents per mile. ... If you plan to use your Sprinter as a true commercial vehicle, and plan to drive more than 50,000 miles a year, it would serve you well to look at the Ford Transit or Ram ProMaster.Apr 24, 2015
How much is an oil change for a Mercedes Sprinter?
The average cost for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 oil change is between $243 and $258. Labor costs are estimated between $55 and $69 while parts are priced at $188
this all makes me wonder if the commotion about Sprinter chassis is as important, but maybe it is simply more a case of availability. Transit may be giving the Sprinter some more competition now, but ultimately it is all consumer choice. I also read that the Sprinter reliability has improved in the last couple years and they were only rated 2 out of 5 and now are up to 3 of 5. That doesn't suggest that they are necessarily bullet proof. But NO chassis is. I guess what is important is how is lives up to the expectations in any given application. I can't say I have ever been a fanboy of any particular brand and I have experienced both good and bad from a lot of them.this from

"(DEF). My Sprinters needed a jug or two every 4,000-6,o00 miles, at about $25 a fillup.
the Sprinter has more sheer pulling power. But it is ponderous when taking off from a dead stop.
AAA says the national average for gasoline is $2.17 a gallon. For diesel, it's $2.43
On a practical basis, diesel is a little more difficult to find. I can't tell you how many times I have pulled off a highway to get fuel only to find diesel not available at the service stations at that exit."
