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.

What does a 3.0L 6-cyl Sprinter cost?
$27,990 is the typical asking price across the 19 cars with this engine on sale today. The year-by-year ladder above splits that by model year — the spread between the oldest and newest year is far wider than the spread between 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.
