    2008 Cls550 left front has 133k on it. Still works 👍 Replaced right front with a cheap strut lasted 10k. Replace in pairs . Arnott makes great Replacement part. My rear is Arnott rides very good. Thanks Ken ❤

    My father and I have been thinking about getting a 2008 S500 or S600 but were thinking about the hassle of the Airmatic system. Thank you for the video which will help us decide better.

      I would recommend you get the 2011 S550. It has the updated 7G transmission and the last of the non-turbo V8 engines. Plenty fast enough. Find one with lower mileage and pay the extra. I would avoid the V12.

    I am really enjoying the videos on the W204 and the W221 cars.

    Man, I miss the old diesel videos. Unfortunately it’s tough to find old diesels that are still viable for restoration, ones in excellent condition are big money.

    That’s a really sharp 221 with the facelift and AMG sport package! Definitely my favorite S class.

      The best - I agree. It is a very elegant design with more "S" than the newer ones.

    My '2012 S550 4 matic Struts on Ebay for about $300.00ea. Easy to replace, about 1hr each. ....And yes you will save $3k or more over the MB dealership service dept.

    Airmatic DC shocks will make a knocking or rattling noise when they degrade , like Kent says “even though they aren’t leaking air”

    I really like my S320 W220,I have owned it for 8 years.Ride comfort is the thing that most matters to me.Would I gain much if I upgrade to W221?Some people say W220 rides as well as W221.

    I have a 2005 e320 4 matic sedan. Just got the warning light “car too low”. Do you consider it worth fixing? Thanks

      I have a 1998 Chevy pickup. The ABS light just came on. Is it worth fixing?
