Question for E250 BT owners
I had a question. So currently Im driving a Toyota Hybrid, I was previously leasing a 2014 E250 for almost three years and It was a great car. I was thinking about finding a facelifted E250 BT.
Is it worth it? Anyone have had issues/problems? has anyone purchased one recently?

bump anyone?
Well my question is that im considering to get (hopefully) a gently used E250 BT. Is it worth it? any ownership experiences to share?

good and cheap
The diesel 4 Cyl. engine has lower frequent maintenance needs than higher powered V6/V8 hotter engines.
Less power, less wear... cheaper cost per Miles but when specialist repairs are needed same hourly rate when times come.
Known issues come from the DPF plugging-up with diesel soot and back-pressure sensor acting up.
The E250 has a lot of options for anyone to enjoy.

My 2014 E250 has over 160k miles. I own it for over 6 years, what is very long for me, as most of the time I like to change car every 3 years.
But the OM51 engine was sold in USA only till 2016, when new OM654 engine never made it here in cars. (Sprinter owners love it).
So the car should serve me well for next 10 if not 20 years.
The paint still looks new, the engine still delivers close to 40 mpg when, I am not driving slow.
Replaced sway bar links and motor mounts in last 2 years.
Would you find it in 4Matic with lower mileage, for good price, I would think about, so let me know if you pass?
