Im selling my 2008 (Dodge) MBenz 3500 Sprinter, HR LWB.

Just wondering if i should invest time and money into improving the Appearance or just settle for less noney and sell as is?
Im ok with taking Low blue book.

Install a mattress, portapotty and microwave to help the sale

haha--- I was thinking of turning it into an RV. but feared it would be a money pit.
I might have taken on this project IF I thought I'd be under "House Arrest" for another 2 months.
but I already booked 3 jobs today.

Anybody want the rusty shelves for free?
Just have to pick them up.
Im either going to refurbish them and sell or just save my time and dump them.

Some of the bolts were rusted and had to be cut off-- damn, that was like usung a JackHammer!
That greatly diminished my enthusiasm to get this van spic and span. 😕

Grab a heat gun and peel off the signage.
Then have the van buffed, or do it yourself. Maybe even get a cheap respray paint job.

Curb appeal will make it sell quicker and bring a higher dollar.

Can also be used to make the black plastic trim look better





*I'd use other methods for a vehicle I was keeping

An All White van might be too tempting for a graffiti scumbag. :eekk: :(
I plan on painting the black trim. maybe even apply a clear coat to the van.
