'06 Sprinter came in today...WOW!!

[skydivetoday]

I am a partner in a small transportation company that just took delivery of a '06 six wheel Sprinter today. One more is due in about a week.

I was looking forward to this but it was better then I expected. It is a 13 seater with stand-up top, topside a/c, back doors with luggage space and automatic bus doors (first year available). The 2.7 CID and five speed transmission are like silk.

A lot of good thinking went into this mini-bus. The six 15" Continental tire are going to save a lot of money and parts finding time, the front seats are very adjustable. and yet manual. Tracks and turns like a car.

I could not find the fuel filler cap until I looked under the bus and traced it from the fuel tank. Great filler cap security.

The only downside, so far, is the price. It came out just over $52,000 each. Well worth it if they turn out as good as I think they will.

I will write more as we test the mini-buses.
