A workhorse without sacrificing comfort
Mercedes-Benz’s Sprinter vans are the largest offered by the German manufacturer, and fit the perfect niche between being large enough to do what other working vehicles can, especially with the extra headspace, while still being maneuverable enough to go places larger vehicles cannot.
The Sprinter has become synonymous with people who get things done, the premier choice for the self-employed and hobbyists, small businesses, and non-profits alike that need to move people and goods routinely and efficiently. This 2014 model has only a day left at auction before it finds its way into the next job, and it has only 65,000 miles on the odometer. Check out the full Bring a Trailer listing by clicking here!

Cool, clean steel, discreet windows, and a hitch
This Sprinter 2500 comes in a cool and sleek gray paint job that blends in nicely on any street or highway, while still looking elegant. Instead of halogen headlights, this Sprinter is equipped with much brighter bi-xenon headlights, ensuring you can always see the road ahead, no matter the weather.
This workhorse of a passenger carrier is shod with Back Country Touring tires, wrapped around 16″ six-spoked alloy wheels, and features an installed receiver hitch and reinforced rear step, if hauling is ever required. Rounding things out are heavily tinted rear windows, ensuring comfort and privacy to anyone traveling in the rear seats.

A smooth and luxurious ride
The driver’s cabin is a two-tone black and off-white, with grey carpeting. Seating is simple and comfortable, with fold-down armrests and ample leg room. The dash is black, set under a wide windshield that ensures maximum visibility. It is also packed with safety features, including blind-spot assist, lane-keeping assist, and Parktronic, which is Mercedes’ proprietary parking-assist software. The owner indicates that a collision-prevention assist feature was also included but is currently non-operational and would need repair to be functional again.
Comfort was not forgotten, with a full MBUX infotainment system for all your music needs, as well as dual climate controls, in case the driver and passengers have divergent temperature preferences. The speedometer goes all the way to 120mph, which is likely a tad enthusiastic, as well as more grounded features like a 5,000-rpm tachometer, fuel gauge, and a configurable digital display.
In the back are two benches with three seats each, and a rear row for up to four, meaning a total of twelve occupants, including the driver, can comfortably sit inside this passenger van. The rear compartment can be accessed via a single sliding passenger-side door and the swing-out barn doors at the rear.

Power and a smooth ride
Power for this hauler is provided by a 130ci (2.1L) inline-four turbodiesel engine. Mercedes-Benz rates this engine at 161 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, along with respectable fuel economy for a vehicle of this size and weight. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed transmission. The owner reports the engine in good condition, with the serpentine belt replaced in spring 2023. The windshield washing fluid cap on the reservoir is also reported missing, which is an easy fix.
Final thoughts: Catch this deal before it’s gone
Overall, this is a lightly-used workhorse with plenty of life and miles left under its belt. With some minor (and, frankly, almost optional) repairs, this Sprinter van is in good condition and ready to get to work. Someone’s going to win it at auction, and with only a day or so left, why shouldn’t it be you?
