New to forum, 2003 Sprinter 2500

Hello I am a 16 year old and my family owns a 2003 Sprinter 2500. We bought it in 2004 to get my disabled sister around and have loved it ever since then. It currently has around 135k miles but has had the alternator, fuel pump, and EGR valve replaced (along with the recalls which were performed when the EGR valve was replaced). Overall it has been very economical and has served its purpose very well.

Welcome Fanman!

Have you had a chance to drive that Sprinter yet? It may seem rather big to a new driver.

Thanks,

I have driven it while not on the road (I don't have my license yet, long story) but I have driven it around in parking lots and fields and while it is large I really like it. May have a lot less power than our 96 Grand Marquis but handles 100x better and has a smaller turning radius even though it is much longer. It's sort of scarier to drive though
