Used Mercedes-Benz busesMercedes-Benz Buses for Sale
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans are used for passenger transport and converted by independent upfitters for shuttle and mobility services. Used U.S. Sprinters may have diesel or gasoline engines, depending on model year. Check the seating layout, conversion builder and accessibility equipment on the individual vehicle. Tourismo and Citaro models serve other markets; U.S. motorcoach buyers should distinguish them from the Tourrider.

About Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vans
The Sprinter arrived in North America in the early 2000s (sold at first under the Dodge and Freightliner brands) and has been sold as a Mercedes-Benz in the US since 2010. Today's 3500XD and 4500 versions carry heavier bodies for limo and shuttle conversions. Setra now belongs to Daimler Truck rather than the Mercedes-Benz car and van group, and Daimler sells its North American coach as the Mercedes-Benz Tourrider.
What Buyers Look for in Used Mercedes-Benz Buses
Buyers usually compare mileage, engine type, diesel emissions-system service (DEF and DPF), the upfitter's build quality and warranty, and electrical systems on limo conversions. Service at a Mercedes-Benz van dealer is often worth checking for in the records.

Common Questions
Mercedes-Benz bus FAQs
The questions our team hears most about buying a used Mercedes-Benz, answered in full.
Does Mercedes-Benz make buses?
Yes, Mercedes-Benz makes buses through Daimler Buses, part of Daimler Truck, which sells city buses and coaches under the Mercedes-Benz and Setra brands. In Europe the Mercedes-Benz range includes the Citaro and battery-electric eCitaro city buses and the Tourismo coach. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans come from a separate van business and serve as the base for many shuttles, limos and party buses built by independent upfitters.
Which Mercedes-Benz coaches are sold in North America?
The Mercedes-Benz coach sold new in North America is the 45-foot Tourrider, offered in Business and Premium versions by Daimler Coaches North America. The Tourrider replaced Daimler's Setra coaches in the region and is built at Daimler's Hoşdere plant in Istanbul, Turkey, with an Allison automatic and, per Daimler, an OM 471 diesel. The Tourismo is Daimler's European coach; used European Tourismos list from about 59,000 to 289,000 euros before VAT.
Are Mercedes party buses built by Mercedes-Benz?
No, Mercedes party buses are built by independent upfitters on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van rather than by Mercedes-Benz itself. Converters add perimeter seating, lighting, sound systems and bar cabinets, usually to Sprinter 2500, 3500 or 3500XD vans, and many layouts carry up to 14 passengers. Because each conversion differs, check the upfitter, the seating and seat-belt installation, the added electrical system and whether the loaded weight stays within the van's GVWR.
How much does a Mercedes party bus cost?
Mercedes Sprinter limo and party buses on BusesForSale.com have been listed from about $75,000 to about $168,000, depending largely on age. Examples include a 2016 Mercedes-Benz 3500 limo bus at $75,000, two 2021 Sprinter 3500 and 3500XD limo and party buses at $129,000, and 2025 Sprinter limos at about $163,000 to $167,000. Price also depends on mileage, the upfitter's reputation and interior features. These are October 2026 asking prices of priced BusesForSale.com listings; listings quoted on request are excluded.
Do Mercedes-Benz buses need a CDL?
It depends on the vehicle: most Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans and Sprinter-based limos do not require a CDL, while the Tourrider motorcoach does. In the US, a CDL is required for vehicles designed to carry 16 or more people including the driver, or with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more. Sprinters are rated well below that weight, but Sprinter shuttles configured for 16 or more occupants including the driver need a CDL, as does the 45-foot Tourrider.
