One of I think the first two issues on the list at your link comes about at the 100K mile point and is a $2500.00 wonder for repair.
When I was in the market for one the more reputable dealers pointed out if the problem had already been corrected or not.
Anything made by MB is 2 or 3 times more expensive to fix when something goes wrong, and it definitely will.
Just shopping parts, not repairs, the costs for the Mercedes are quite simular part for part with Ford or Chevy for driveline/chassis parts.
It's most likely due to the Dodge, Frieghtliner and Mercedes all being one in the same.
All the chassis parts are interchageable, everything but the grill and badge anyway.
It keeps the price down but doesn't seem to help with availability, Sprinter parts just aren't stocked like Ford and Chevy.
Seems odd considering how common the Sprinter chassis has become in recent years for delivery and commercial work vehicles.
They are just not old soul's like the Ford and Chevy chassis are.
