It adds cost, no doubt. I get it, but you can pay in time waiting or in cash.

On the Air Ride part though, isn't the Air Ride pretty standard on the L chassis? That might make your search a bit of a unicorn hunt.

 

What about this one? 149 from OH to you. 2008 85K miles, 20K cost.

Interesting it is. My 2007 has the stitched armrests and I thought I saw that it had the upgraded leather, however I do not have the wood trim around the rear vents.

 

I'm still irked the seller of a 1988 Bentley Turbo R which had a crate 502 GM motor and a supercharger put on it, didn't get back to me before he sold it to some loser who decided it needed to be on the market for double what he paid.

It looked bone stock, even on the interior, save for the hideous steering wheel and nitrous oxide controller screwed to the bottom of the passenger's side dash like an 8-track player in 1970.

I really wanted that car...kinda glad it didn't happen. I mean, I was down to shopping which differential I could put in the Ford 9" rear axle (with discs on it) to maximize MPG...y'know, to the low-teens.

I had a rough time finding just the Jaaaaag XJ Super V8 I wanted (and could afford), the STS I quite-literally crossed paths with when the owner was cruising the same used car lot I was, and I wasn't even looking for an LS when I bought this one, I was hard-core shopping 2003-2006 Mercedes CL AMG machines.

However, when it comes to used vehicles, it's very, very unusual to find one which is exactly how you want it. Don't panic on the air ride, seriously. It's simpler than people think, and I know air suspension systems can last for 20+ years, albeit, that's on commercial chassis machines.

The Jaaaag XJ, above, sold me on air suspension, because while that car was super-cushy in a straight line, make an aggressive move with the steering wheel, and it tightened up immediately. Almost zero body roll when at 40 MPH I made a few slalom moves (industrial area which was empty) which made the tires howl, but it stayed flat. My mind was blown.

 

"FULLY LOADED"? LOL, it does not even have navigation, which is extremely rare, it is about as base as you can get.

 

These cars don't normally sell for blackbook or bluebook, they just sit on the lots for months when they are priced higher and dealers have to lower the prices to get them to move.

 

I gotta have the Light interior. The car in Vegas is the one I want, and, I'll get one too. Thanks for the input.

 

The car is back. If you want me to go look at it, put a hold on it.

You saw it too !!! I will take your advise this time. Thanks.

 

It won't let me put a hold on it. I don't know why.

 

OK, finally, the car is back on the market again. Looks like I might be getting me another car.

 

Shad034 is going over to drive the car and see if it meets his approval. Cooooooo

 

Fingers crossed!

 

Mine too. Thanks for KICKING ME IN THE ***, or at least, directing me to pull my head outta there !!!!!

 

He's in the car now. Gonna crank up the Stereo, then go 70, turn it down and listen for the wind noise and hopefully, it's not gonna be there.
