I got burned and I bought a van...

I have been looking at sprinter vans now for a few years and talking to owners of them. One guy i just ran into brought up a good point on the sprinter vs the ram van. Him and his buddy's drive Baja each year. Last year one of the sprinter vans broke down on a lonely stretch of mexican HWY. The van had to be Towed to a large Mercedes dealership and then the dealer had to fly in a tech from germany to figure out the issue, (electrical sensor falure) THEN the part had to be flown in....

The Ram van wins in parts avability and ease of repair. So for me it will end up being a fancy "Dodge" van. Plus im more of a MOPAR guy than a fancy Mercedes type any way.

Parts avability and ease of repair was not realy something on my radar when buying a 80-100K van but after talking to that guy it is now.
