Looking to get a 2006-2007 LX or LC and came across a 2006 LX with 129k miles and it looks all good except for the ride height sensor is malfunctioning and is stuck in the low position. The dealer says that it will need to be replaced. Now I figure that any car with the AHC suspension will have it be worn out and need fixing at somepoint, but is it worth it to get this fixed up or just keep looking for one that hasnt had any problems so far? Thanks

146K miles.

I am just starting to see a seep in the front left hydraulic cylinder. the right rear doesn't move as smooth as it should. They are essentially shock absorbers. The parts are $200 each.

Change the AHU fluid at 60K miles as it should be and the system works. I think the sensors are just over $100 - no sure though. So far, its been trouble free. If someone puts something other than AHU fluid in the system it will be a VERY expensive mistake. The dampeners are $500-600 each and there are 4.

Thanks for the reply. To update, the dealer now says that the ride height sensor needs to be replaced and at that point they can determine if there are any other issues. After looking at the service records I did not really see anything about flushing the AHC fluid at 60k or 120k, so that would need to be addressed as well. I really am learning more about suspensions than I ever thought I would on these forums, so thanks for that!
