Hi Pauline, Seems to be very low klms for an 8 year old vehicle.

Have a look at Caravancamping sales website - you will be able to get a comparison re price on it.

Might be a good purchase. Some folk buy things & don't use them much.
We have a few caravans & motor homes around our area that seem to sit on peoples properties & go nowhere.
Get it checked out by someone reputable.
If it's been lightly used over 8 years we'd be checking out the tyres first.
Good luck, hope it goes well.

I am Biased I think MB Sprinters are the best vehicle for Campervans/Motorhomes.
Re the Price seems reasonable/good value, came across a 3L V6 2010 MB Conquest for $108K but the 2.2L above is a 4 Cylinder engine and will not have the same pulling power as a 3L, but to me could still A Frame a small Suzie or pull a boat.
What is the engine size ie 313, 315, 413, 316, etc?
What is the GVM and Tare ie what is the payload?
Most probably the auto is a Sprint Shift like the Fiat's not like the Later Sprinters, the low use may/maynot have issues down the track.
Another important thing is the layout, not only a good buy but will you be happy with the layout ie double bed in then rear passenger corner, effort for you/partner to get to the toilet during the night.

Some Mh Owners with Bed over Cab have found it necessary to adjust/reinforce the front suspension because of the weight and limited travel prior to hitting the bump stops, with the low Kms of this unit I suggest that this has not been done. I have heard Kings Springs mentioned. (Note: We do not have a Mh and this may not apply to Sprinters)

"PeterInSa" This is well known Fiat thing. Do not think it applies to the Merc chassis.
