Buying Sprinter Van and ideas for racking system

[renegade]

Come on KC7's you're a better negotiator/savy shopper than that. We paid $40k new not $60k. Also look at a gas Ford Transit. Nicer finish, just as much room, but $13k cheaper than the diesel Transit or Sprinter.

Yes I am better. Dont worry. I havent even started to really shop. I will ramp things up in the next few weeks when the school term ends.

So far we just got some quotes from Sprinter dealers. One jackass offered us a fully loaded, long, tall Sprinter van for $63,000 OR......we could "Lease to Buy" the same vehicle....but the lease to buy payments present valued to approx $75,000....for the same vehicle. Not even worth calling him an idiot.

Will look at Transits as well. Thx

PS - my new name doesnt really give good me good cover if you still call me KC7s? Haha

saw these browsing the other day when my vanagon felt a lil low on power going up a hill, http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified- ... O_16302692

Bunch of AWD passanger vans from a fleet place I guess. Just couldn't figure out the cost to add a poptop or high-roof conversion.

I found a place in Vancouver that do the tops. http://www.tufport.com/van-conversions

For the same price you'd be better to go with the Transit KC. That Nissan is a bastardized pickup with the same ride quality and fuel economy. But I know you are just trying to be contrarian.

plus that loooong hood line is kind of ugly and adds probably 2 feet to the overall length compared to the more modern designs. I guess they did that so it was easier to work on? Wait...why do they need to make them easy to work on?

[nanmoo]

They did that because it was cheap to make. No chassis adjustments to the pickup, just more sheet metal out the back.

Windude I checked the phone # from cargo vans, they are from Ontario.

Windude isn't there some kind of VW jail that you should be sent to just for mentioning the chev/ford fleet vans for sale?
