What problems were you seeing with the Sprinters? I'm about to roll 80k miles on one, and after a bunch of exhaust problems in the first 15k miles, all fixed under warranty, it's just been humming along. The Mercedes techs at the dealership say the only issues they see with them are exhaust/EPA Related, and regularly see vans with 200k or 300k miles.

Oh crap, we didn't have a small promaster. It was a Ford transit connect. That slurred my memory. That thing was junk. Maybe they are better now. I think we bought the second year model made.

    The Ram Promasters (full size) have been good to us - have 3 that
    have been pretty trouble free.   The first one (about 4 years old
    now) had some initial wiring issues but has settled down.   The
    two Ford’s Transit (full size) have been good as well.

    The 3 Mercedes vans (the old Dodge Sprinters, etc.) ended up being
    complete pieces of shit and are all gone from the fleet.  The
    diesels and drivetrain had nothing but problems - engines,
    transmissions, and driveline. Mercedes didn’t have a clue how to
    fix them and just threw expensive parts and billed you for them
    even when it didn’t fix the issues.   Never buying any of their
    crap again.

    Does anyone have the Metris cargo van in their fleet? We have had
    the WORST issues with our Ram ProMaster City's and they're
    complete junk. They've both been in the shop more than 30 days
    cumulative each over the last 3 years so they're gone.

    I wish Toyota would bring their Proace over to the US as they're
    the most reliable brand known to man and we've never had trouble.
    Ram on the other hand is junk...

    So hopefully someone has some insight into the MB Metris cargo
    van? The specs show they're larger and have more cargo space than
    the Promaster city, transit connect, nv200, etc. so that would be
    nice. It does require Premium fuel though which sucks.
