This came from Automotive News via Auto Blog.
Of the 165 Mercedes and Freightliner dealers invited to add Sprinters to their lineups, 143 have accepted the call. Even though 14,600 Sprinters were moved through Dodge outlets and another 3,682 by Freightliner, Mercedes set the minimum for its dealers at 30 vans annually to begin with.
If you’re looking for a Sprinter, you’ll probably be able to find it with a three-pointed star early next year. In the meantime, dealers are creating the necessary showroom space and adding repair bay features to deal with the big boxes.
I did not know Freightliner dealers were included with the number of Mercedes dealers as orignally announced. Looks like service locations may be a long drive for many. So far no one has seen the list of dealers. The best way to check would be to drive by your dealer, look for new construction and/or stop in and ask.
If you find out your Mercedes dealer is going to sell Sprinters please post the news as a comment.
