Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates maintains one of the largest pre-owned Sprinter van inventories in the Midwest — covering the full commercial lineup from the Sprinter 2500 Cargo through the heavy-duty 4500, plus Passenger Vans and low-mileage “Next to New” dealer units. Every pre-owned Sprinter on our lot has been inspected by factory-trained Mercedes-Benz technicians. We serve buyers throughout the greater Chicago area and ship nationwide to all 50 states.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is engineered for longevity. Commercial operators routinely run Sprinters well past 200,000 miles with proper maintenance — which means a well-documented pre-owned Sprinter can deliver years of productive service at a significantly lower acquisition cost than a new unit. For small business owners, fleet managers, and tradesmen watching their cost-per-mile, a pre-owned Sprinter from an authorized dealer is one of the highest-value commercial vehicle purchases available.
Key reasons buyers choose pre-owned Sprinter vans:
Our pre-owned commercial inventory rotates continuously. We carry trade-ins, fleet returns, off-lease units, and low-mileage dealer courtesy vehicles across all Sprinter body types and series.
Not all used Sprinter sellers are created equal. Purchasing your pre-owned Sprinter from a franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer like Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates provides important protections that private sellers and independent used car lots cannot offer:
Our pre-owned Sprinters are inspected by technicians trained specifically on Mercedes-Benz van platforms — not general mechanics. We know what to look for on these vehicles because we service them daily.
We maintain complete service records on dealer-owned units and can pull authorized Mercedes-Benz service records on trade-ins. You know exactly what you’re buying and what has been done to it.
When you buy from us, you have a full Mercedes-Benz service department behind you. Our Vancare Express fast-track service lane, Mobile Service unit, and certified van technicians are available to you long after the sale. Buying from a private party means you’re on your own the day after.
We work with lenders experienced in commercial vehicle financing — including business lines, fleet purchases, and Section 179 documentation. Private sellers and independent lots typically cannot provide this level of financing infrastructure.

Our pre-owned Sprinter buyers range from solo tradesmen buying their first work van to established fleet operators adding capacity. Here’s a look at some of the most common use cases we support:
Pre-owned Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans used for business qualify for the Section 179 first-year expensing deduction — the same benefit available on new commercial vehicles. Rather than depreciating the vehicle over several years, Section 179 allows eligible businesses to deduct the full purchase price in the year of purchase, subject to IRS limits and business-use percentage.
For many small business owners and tradesmen, this deduction substantially reduces the effective cost of a pre-owned Sprinter. We provide all documentation needed to support your Section 179 filing, and we can coordinate with your accountant or tax advisor. Learn more about Section 179 tax benefits →

Warranty coverage depends on the specific unit. Our “Next to New” Sprinters are former dealer courtesy vehicles that may carry remaining factory warranty coverage. Other pre-owned units may qualify for extended service contracts through Mercedes-Benz Financial Services or third-party providers. Our team will walk you through the coverage options available on any vehicle you’re considering before purchase.
Sprinter Next to New refers to former dealer courtesy and loaner vehicles that were maintained by our service department and offered for sale at pre-owned pricing. These vans are typically low-mileage — often under 15,000 miles — and have been serviced exclusively by our factory-trained technicians. They represent a strong middle ground between the price of a pre-owned unit and the confidence of a new vehicle. View current Next to New Sprinter inventory →
Yes. We provide vehicle history reports on our pre-owned Sprinter inventory. For dealer-owned units, we also have internal service records available. We’re transparent about vehicle history because we want buyers to be fully informed — it’s part of what distinguishes buying from an authorized dealer versus a private seller or auction.
Yes. We offer financing on pre-owned Sprinter vans through multiple lenders with experience in commercial vehicle financing. Both business and personal financing options are available. Rates and terms vary based on the vehicle’s age, mileage, and buyer qualifications. You can apply for financing online before visiting or call our finance team at 847-885-7000.

Our team can connect you with upfitting resources and partners. Learn more about Sprinter upfitting →
Yes. Pre-owned commercial vehicles — including Sprinter vans used for business — qualify for the Section 179 first-year expensing deduction, subject to IRS annual limits and the vehicle’s business-use percentage.

The Sprinter is built for commercial longevity — properly maintained units regularly reach 200,000–300,000 miles in active fleet service. When evaluating a pre-owned Sprinter, mileage matters less than maintenance history. A 150,000-mile van with complete documented service history from an authorized dealer is often a stronger buy than a 75,000-mile van with no records. Our pre-owned inventory includes vehicle history documentation so you can assess each unit with full information.
The primary difference is payload capacity and chassis strength. The Sprinter 2500 has a GVWR of up to 9,050 lbs and handles lighter-to-moderate commercial loads. The Sprinter 3500 steps up to a GVWR of up to 9,990 lbs with a reinforced chassis, making it better suited for heavier cargo, dual rear wheel configurations, and high-volume operations. The 3500XD and 4500 series go further still for the heaviest applications. Our van team can help you identify the right series for your payload and use case.
Yes. We accept trade-ins on van purchases. You can get an estimate on your current vehicle’s value online, or bring it in for an in-person appraisal. Trade-in value can be applied directly toward your pre-owned Sprinter purchase and will be reflected in your financing amount if applicable.
