isnt' there an old saying "if you have to ask,you can't afford it"?
sprinters ARE a waste of money. you can't make any financial sense out of buying a car this old,and spending at least what the car's purchase price was,if not double,to get it to go well.
you would only do the work and go to all the hassle involved if you geniunely love the car,and plan to keep it for a good period of time.
people on a really tight budget are slitting their own throat by buying a sprinter. if someone reverses into the car you saved up to for 6 mths to buy and dings in the guard and smashes the park light,you'll be looking for a replacement for months,if you can even afford to buy a replacement from someone.
the car is getting rare enough now that certain bits only turn up when someone wrecks one,and you end up fighting with 10 other prospective buyers for an indicator or tail light.
this isn't a car you can just wander down to your local toyota dealer and buy bits for anymore. you need to put in special orders,and wait months for parts.
you are much better off when starting out to by a common,easy-to-get-parts-for car,and having fun in that until you both learn and earn a bit,and can move up.
sprinters are for people who don't care what it costs,they're in one for the fun of driving it,and living with the car is an associated cost of that fun.
