This Mercedes Sprinter Airstream has < 50,000 miles and only 1 owner. It is a 24’ Sprinter. The interior color is Light Camel with Asian Sand wood. We removed the extra 2 captain chairs to make this Sprinter more practical for traveling and camping. We added the following customizations: additional slide out; 82 quart ARB fridge/freezer (110V/12V) with separate ARK lithium 12V power pack; added counter space above ARB fridge; outdoor Corian-top table that connects to Sprinter; anodized aluminum cabinetry; espresso machine with stand and added storage; mud flaps in rear, front bug deflector; custom made shades for front window, driver and passenger side windows and side entry door screen. In addition, the Sprinter was recently serviced, and it has new tires (added at 38,000 miles); new house batteries (June 2020) and chassis battery (July 2020). It is pre-wired for 2 TVs (but not installed). We also upgraded the sound system to an Alpine 9 inch stereo with Apple Car Play (model iLX-F309) and updated back up camera. We also have a RV specific Garmin navigation unit (Garmin RV 890). The Sprinter has been serviced every year at Mercedes Benz Tucson. All vehicle records, VIN information and dealership information will be made available. In October 2020 the Sprinter had a complete 50,000 mile service, including new brakes and rotors (front & rear), alignment, transmission service and tire rotation.
Interstate also has a 2.5KW Onan propane generator, Mercedes OEM 5,000 lb trailer hitch and brake controller, Solar panel and prewire.
Contact Seller
Consider these tips in order to send or receive payment safely.
Know the vehicle’s market value
Be very suspicious of any vehicle priced significantly below market value. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Confirm contact information
Verify the seller’s physical address and phone number BEFORE SENDING PAYMENT. Zip codes, area codes and addresses should match up.
Use email wisely
Do not send personal or financial information (such as your social security number, credit card number or checking account number) to a seller via email. Email communications are not secure.
Do not use money transfer services, such as Western Union to pay for online purchases
Even Western Union recommends against using their service or similar services to pay for online purchases. Be cautious about any seller who will only accept a money transfer.
If using an escrow service for payment, make sure it is a reputable, valid escrow service
Some buyers, purchasing outside their local area, may consider using an escrow service. If so, make sure it is a legitimate service. Go directly to the website of the escrow service. Do NOT go to an escrow service through a link in the seller’s e-mail or use a service based on a referral from the seller. Check the web address to make sure you are at the valid website.
Get a detailed receipt
Ask the seller for a receipt that states whether the Airstream is being sold with a warranty or “as is.”
Get title to the vehicle
Make sure you know what’s required in your state to transfer title to the vehicle you’re buying.
Confirm contact information
Be wary of buyers willing to purchase your item sight-unseen, especially buyers located overseas. Always verify the buyer’s street address and valid phone number.
Verify that a certified check is genuine
Verify authenticity with the issuing bank prior to depositing a certified check. Make sure the account contains sufficient funds and the issuing bank guarantees payment on the check. Once deposited in your account, it may take a week or more for the check to clear. Acceptance by your bank does not guarantee the check is valid and funds are available. A cashier’s check can take 30 days or more to clear.
Secure payment first
Do not transfer the title until you have payment in hand at the agreed upon price (and you have verified that the payment is valid.
Beware of overpayment or other complicated payment schemes
Do not agree to any plan where the buyer asks to send a check for more than the sale price and requests that the seller refund the difference. Be suspicious of any buyer who proposes making payment through a friend or agent of the buyer.
