2003 Sprinter T1n Dream Van / My Home of 6 Years

Seller's Description

I am selling my home and rig of 6 years. This is not your normal Sprinter, at all. This has been my passion, love, and home of 6 years. I am changing entire careers and life paths. This is a sprinter that only comes around so often. I am only the second owner. This van is a no accidents, a clean carfax, is extremely well cared for, and is a rust free van from Louisiana originally. It has an extensive maintenance list, ICE cold Ac, hot heat, zero engine codes, and I just drove it yesterday from San Diego area to LA (~3hrs) no issue. It was purchased from a guy who ran computer/tech company, it even had a designated umbrella holder, thats the kind of meticulousness this guy had about it. One of the biggest highlights that separates this rig from others, is that Belu has a completely one off a kind 12'x5' custom composite roof deck (second floor here) with a 1.5' rear overhang to possibly hang a swing with the back doors open (no joke) and 300 watts of solar with tilted front panel for winter/low sunlight.

New low pressure pump, every single fuel hose replaced 2021, fuel return line replaced, new fuel filter, new timing chain, new alternator, diagnoses, new crankshaft and camshaft sensors, new crankshaft sensor plug, etc etc etc. ~$6-7000 parts + labor!! Add this up: On the low end I've got roughly $52,000 into this van over 6 years. On the high end (more realistically), I've got $60,000 plus... I am not counting a lot of my own labor and many other things. This van is turn key; fridge, stove, sink, water tank, solar, battery, lights, vent fan, inverter, faucet, are all running! I just did a diff flush/service but noticed a very light leak on the back passenger rear wheel, might need serviced or inspected. The German diesel heater under the passenger seat is running and was rebuilt not long ago (2022) with a new glow plug and gaskets, but needs a service I think, I just haven't used it lately. All fluids are topped. Van comes with a bunch of goodies, for full or close to asking price only, I'll throw in an entire spare turbo, a full trans fluid change with the really expensive Mercedes trans fluid ($24 quart X 7-8 quarts = no joke), a gray water tank for the sink for national parks etc that I never installed, the original 2003 intake manifold, some other extra new parts and pieces, extra heater gasket, etc.) Belu has a front tow bar installed and the rare rear step bumper! Belu has a murphy bed fold up with a couch and storage underneath that allows you to jump out the back with a running start into a lake. The fridge pulls out from under the kitchen. This van is turn key. No check engine light runs so well. Ice cold AC and hot heat. BT stereo, this van is ready to roll. Clean TX title in my name in hand. We have to go to a bank and do a legit transfer, or cash. No checks please, not even cashiers. I’m open to reasonable offers, reach out to me, but this one off van is so well done and a great deal already, and a truly rare gem in the world. -Jay
