2006 Mercedes Sprinter 118wb

2006 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 – “Green Bean”

118” Wheelbase (Rare) • High Roof • 187k Miles

Custom Durabak Green Exterior • Aspen Lite XL Rooftop Tent

Green Bean is a genuinely rare T1N — the kind of van most people never see in person. The 118” wheelbase + high roof combo is the shortest, most maneuverable Sprinter ever produced and still offers full standing height inside. That setup alone makes this van a unicorn.

A green unicorn, in this case.

Why I’m Selling

I bought Green Bean in January planning for her to be my forever van, which is why I poured so much time, money, and intention into the build. She was my daily driver and only vehicle, and I spent the year creating a space that felt like home. But with some recent career changes and more frequent drives into Los Angeles for work, she’s no longer the most ideal daily driver for me. If my circumstances hadn’t shifted, I’d never let her go.

She’s perfect for a solo traveler or a couple looking for a compact, capable, soulful rig. Letting her go is devastating — but she’s ready for someone who will love her the way I have.

(Also open to a partial trade for the right Toyota (pre-’94 pickup, 1st-gen 4Runner, or 80-Series Land Cruiser) plus cash, depending on condition and value. )
