- Mercedes Sprinter 316 Crew cab pick up
Just bought my second new Sprinter, this time a MWB crew cab pick up. My last one was fantastic, it did 31,000 miles before the computer asked for its first service! Sold it at 50k as i needed seven seats and a pick up for my recesion scaled down groundwork business.
It has cruise and air con, can tow 3.5tons legally, and looks cool in its blue metalic paint and chrome grill.
Untill today i though this had to be the best workhorse on the planet.......then at 6,000 miles the engine died..........yes 6k and they tell me the engine is finished.
I am mad with anger! i paid a great deal of money for the assurance of being able to do 30k a year with no hassles and travel in comfort. But 8 weeks and i have a dead truck. Dealer is very helpfull, but they cannot replace my bespoke pick up just like that. I had to wait 4 months from order to delivery in September.
Do i take it back, or say keep it????
VERY UNHAPPY!!!!!!!
