* Mercedes-Benz Dealerships: This is the primary source. They offer new Sprinter vans and often have used models as well.
* Used Car Dealerships: Many dealerships, both large and small, sell used Sprinter vans. The quality and condition will vary significantly, so careful inspection is crucial.
* Online Marketplaces: Sites like eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and others often have Sprinter vans for sale, both new and used. Be extra cautious when buying from private sellers on these platforms.
* Specialty Van Dealers: Some dealerships specialize in selling and converting vans, including Sprinters. These often offer customized options.
* Government Auctions: Occasionally, government agencies will auction off used Sprinter vans. These can be a good deal, but usually require thorough inspections.
* Private Sellers: Individuals sometimes sell their Sprinter vans directly. This offers potential for a better price, but involves more risk.
Before purchasing from any source, it's crucial to thoroughly inspect the van's condition (mechanical, body, etc.), check its history (accident reports, maintenance records), and negotiate a fair price. If you're unsure about any aspect of the purchase, consider having a mechanic inspect the vehicle before finalizing the sale.
