The true cost of a vehicle goes well beyond the sticker price. Fuel costs, maintenance costs, the vehicle's retained value and other items can all affect your bottom line down the road. Using independent research by Vincentric,™* this information shows the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a Mercedes-Benz Van versus its closest competition. Of course, with the lowest TCO in its class, the competition really isn't all that close.

One element of TCO that's typically overlooked doesn't have anything to do with how much a vehicle costs you. It has to do with how much it's worth. A van that retains value puts more money in your pocket at the end of its service life. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter depreciates at a much lower rate than that of its competition, commanding a higher resale value than any commercial vehicle in its class. Maximum return with minimum expense. That's something every business person values.‡
