replaced front end suspsension, tie rod ends, bushings, etc |
| 155000 mi | airmatic pump burned out and strut went out. Have had several issues with car after 100,000 miles. Repairs for suspension were almost as much as the value of the car, so I decided to sell it for what I could get. |

An airmatic strut/shock failed. This makes the 3rd one. Apparently they all fail pretty close together. I am having lifetime warrantied products installed. The car sat too low to the ground to drive. |
2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 4-door
turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel automatic 2WD
| 192820 mi €1000 |
The 'fusee-kogel' (ball joint), had too much tolerance and therefore the car would not be approved to drive on Dutch roads. Sold it the week after (to a German family). I warned them, but I guess all the bling-bling won. |
