Seller's Description
If you know Sprinters, you know the T1N (pre-DEF) is the one to own. This is a hard-to-find, fully sorted 2005 3500 with all the major failure points already addressed. This is not your typical worn-out fleet van — this is a turnkey, mechanically dialed OM647 ready for work, travel, or conversion. Interior trim has a minimal build (I tore out the shower and cabinets) suited for shorter trips with toys, with shore power, onboard electrical panel, 20 gallon fresh, 15 gallon gray, diesel heater, AC unit, Ikea bed platform, Captains Chairs. Interior is comfy and functional, not cute. --- ### Major Recent Maintenance (The Expensive Stuff is DONE) • New Turbo & Hoses 2023 • Fuel Injectors replaced/serviced (no black death issues) 2019 • Full Cooling System refresh (Radiator, hoses, belts) 2026 • New AC system (blows cold – huge for AZ) 2024 • Glow plugs replaced 2025 • Brake Combo switch replaced 2025 These are the exact items that typically cost Sprinter owners $10K+ — That is AT LEAST what I paid. ### 🚐 Vehicle Details • 2005 Sprinter 3500 (dual rear wheel) • Legendary T1N / OM647 diesel engine • ~180,000 miles (just getting started for these motors) • Clean title • Runs and drives strong --- ### 💡 Why This Van Most T1Ns on the market need injectors, turbo work, or cooling system overhaul. This one doesn’t. You’re buying: ✔ Reliability ✔ Known maintenance history ✔ A van that’s ready to go --- ### 🧠 Ideal For: • Vanlife conversion (best diesel platform) • Contractor / work van • Long-distance travel rig • Diesel enthusiasts who understand T1N value --- ### ⚠️ Upfront Notes (No Surprises) • The van was trimmed out with a shower and cabinets and I removed the shower cabinet and stripped it down to the raw build with bed & simple storage. Water tank are not connected, currently no shower, sink or toilet (unused compost toilet included.) • Priced accordingly for condition + major mechanical refresh --- ### 📍 Located in Phoenix, AZ --- ### 📞 [contact info removed] Serious buyers only.
