The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary.

Which Sprinter years got a 3.0L 6-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Sprinter report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

Which Sprinter years have the 3.0L 6-cyl?
2007–2019 — 7 model years in our VIN decode, across 18 factory configurations and 981 VINs.
What does a 3.0L 6-cyl Sprinter cost?
$28,734 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
What is the engine code, and does it matter?
OM 642 with Brake Assist — the code the VIN decodes to on the configurations on this page. It matters when you order parts or read a service history: the same displacement badge on another model can be a different code with different outputs.
