That paintjob reminds me somewhat of the GTA San Andreas campervan of The Truth.

I can’t find details about their bankruptcy except some platitudes. How does such a business suddenly go broke?

  "How did you go bankrupt?" Bill asked.
  "Two ways," Mike said. "Gradually, then suddenly."

Interesting that they replaced the central panel with something more traditional looking?

A van that's seen a lot of highway miles and was owned by a large fleet is almost always a good bet. It's shuttle services who are skipping everything they can because "lol we're depreciating this over 3yr and then trading in" are who you gotta be worried about.

This is basically a story about who people cut from a filter bubble that circle jerk about Sprinters and Camrys are shocked to find that the most popular fleet van of the 1980s-2010 does in fact live up to it's value prop of delivering boring reliable service to business to which it is just a cost center to be minimized.
