🔧 READY FOR YOUR UPGRADES!
This van is already fully functional, but leaves room for your personal touches. Perfect if you want to:
- Add bigger off-road tires for adventure trips
- Install more windows for light & views
- Mount a ladder + roof rack for gear
- Add AC or a diesel heater for four-season comfort
Start with a premium foundation, then make it 100% your own.
🌲 WHO THIS VAN IS FOR?
- Weekend Warriors & Adventurers – beach, forest, and National Park trips.
- Vanlife Minimalists – simple, reliable setup without unneeded extras.
- DIY Upgraders – premium foundation with room to add AC/heating or exterior mods.
- Creatives & Hobbyists – mobile basecamp for photo, film, climbing, or biking.
⚠️ HONEST NOTES
- Factory AC not working (common for T1Ns). No diesel heater or rooftop AC installed (personal choice omission).
- Few areas of surface rust (normal for this year/model) and some visible dents.
- Minor quirks: one broken dash vent, buzzing radio.
- Strong diesel engine, well maintained.
WHY SELLING?
Lightly used (only a few camping trips). Selling due to life changes. Save big compared to $100k–$150k+ new Sprinter builds — this is an otherwise premium setup at a mid-point price.
