FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What APR does Mercedes-Benz Financial Services offer on the Sprinter minibus?
MB Financial Services quotes indicative rates of 4–9% APR on new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter factory minibuses. Promotional rates through the MB dealer network can be lower during campaign periods.
What is the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus?
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus is a factory-built passenger transport vehicle available in 9, 14, and 17-seat configurations, widely used by private hire operators, schools, care providers, and airports.
Can a broker beat Mercedes-Benz Financial on a Sprinter minibus?
On new Sprinter with the strongest dealer promotional rate, MB Financial can be difficult to beat. However, for used Sprinter minibuses, adverse credit, or buyers wanting to compare across makes, broker-arranged finance through DBF is frequently superior.
Does MB Financial Services finance used Sprinter minibuses?
MB Financial will finance used Sprinter minibuses generally up to 7–8 years old. For older Sprinters, broker-arranged specialist lenders offer wider appetite.
What if I want to finance a non-Mercedes minibus alongside a Sprinter?
MB Financial only funds Mercedes-Benz vehicles. If you are building a mixed fleet (Sprinter alongside a Ford Transit minibus, for example), broker-arranged finance covers all makes simultaneously and gives you a single point of contact.
