A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Midwest Automotive Designs luxury conversion, or OGV Luxury Coach purchased for business use may qualify for a first year deduction of up to the full purchase price under Section 179 and bonus depreciation. As an authorized franchised Mercedes-Benz dealer, we pair those tax advantages with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services commercial financing that independent van resellers cannot offer.
Call 847-885-7000 Request a Section 179 QuoteSection 179 of the IRS tax code lets businesses deduct the cost of qualifying equipment, including work vehicles, in the year the vehicle is placed in service instead of depreciating it over many years. Because every Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has a gross vehicle weight rating well above 6,000 pounds, Sprinter vans are not subject to the passenger vehicle deduction caps that limit write-offs on luxury sedans and most SUVs.
That applies across our entire van division: commercial Sprinter cargo and crew vans, Sprinter cab chassis in 3500XD and 4500 configurations, Midwest Automotive Designs executive vans like the Luxe Cruiser and Business Class, and OGV Luxury Coach executive coaches. If the vehicle is used more than 50 percent for business, it may qualify.
Current federal limits allow businesses to expense millions of dollars in qualifying equipment purchases per year, with limits indexed annually. A single Sprinter purchase, or an entire fleet, can fall comfortably within them.
Federal law has restored 100 percent bonus depreciation for qualifying business property. Combined with Section 179, many buyers can deduct the full business-use portion of their van in the first year.
A Midwest Automotive Designs Luxe Cruiser or Professional Series van used to transport clients and executives is business equipment. Independent van resellers can sell you the van, but only a franchised dealer backs it with factory support.
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services offers commercial vehicle financing structures designed around business ownership, and it is available only through authorized franchised Mercedes-Benz dealers like Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates. Our finance team works with your accountant's guidance to structure the purchase, whether that is a single executive van or a multi-unit fleet order, and we deliver nationwide with open transport delivery.

In many cases, yes. When the van is used more than 50 percent for business purposes, the business-use portion of a luxury Sprinter conversion may qualify for Section 179 expensing and bonus depreciation. Your tax professional can confirm eligibility for your specific situation.
No. Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating above 6,000 pounds are exempt from the passenger automobile depreciation limits, and every Mercedes-Benz Sprinter exceeds that threshold.
The vehicle must be purchased and placed in service by December 31 of the tax year. Because popular configurations sell quickly late in the year, buyers planning a year-end purchase should secure their van early.
Yes. Financed vehicles qualify, which means you can deduct the qualifying purchase price in year one while spreading payments over the term of your Mercedes-Benz Financial Services agreement.
