[QUOTE="used2beunion, post: 753712, member: 29778"] Sprinters get 19-21 MPG. My 2005 has 430K+ miles on the original engine. Buying 2-2008s with nearly 200K on each. Most breakdowns are caused by simple stuff that can be avoided with regular maintenance, such as replacing the serpentine belt idler pulleys and tensioner every 100K miles. Some of the parts ARE expensive, but they last. I replaced a harmonic balancer on the '05 at about 400K, the alternator at about 420K, and the water pump once, but other than those items, belts, and hoses... the engine is wearing everything it was born with. Still passes emission testing with flying colors. [/QUOTE]
