    Buy the Sprinter. I had a Sprinter 316 cdi from 2012 that I drove 875.000km. Now I have the Sprinter 316 cdi 2018. The van have only cost me a new fuel intake manifold (ca. 430.000km). It runs like a ......😅. I would those Sprinter all day every day. And also think about the 24 hour service is very important in the courier business.

      I only had $2500 when I started this business. My girl and some friends loaned me the other $2500 to purchase my red cargo van. Now I have 2 vans & even bought a personal car to move around with my newborn. That was the plan, it worked cause I wrote down and executed it.
      If you decide today that you’re going to work towards obtaining a Transit & you write down, make an execution plan step by step, I promise 100% that you will achieve it.

    The RAM van you showed which is from PSA group (now Stellantis), is the worst out of the rest, their 2.2 HDi really struggles when carrying heavy loads. It's good for mail delivery though, but only the facelift model (2020 until today). The Sprinter is a reliable van, but difficult to maintain, also isn't that comfortable either. You could've mentioned the Volkswagen Crafter or the Iveco Daily as alternatives though.

    • @Tony.Ruiz08
      @Tony.Ruiz08  Місяць тому

      @@Tony.Ruiz08 That's awesome that you liked it, it's also one of my favourite vans. I really thought that you guys in the USA and Canada had this one, since it is sold internationally and also because Volkswagen sells to North America. I see them everywhere around Europe, they're indeed great looking, reliable (not that expensive to maintain) and work basically for every type of job you need. I just wanted to say one thing about the Ford Transit, the 1996 Transit (open box and panel van) is the best low-cost van you can get for the price. Its engine is practically indestructible, I've had 2 of those carry more than 2 tons every week driving cross-country for 2 years now, and I am really satisfied with its performance, just watch out for the oil consumption. Nonetheless, definitely worth buying.
