I am buying vehicle listed above (used) from a private seller. I wondered if you know anything about these vehicles?

if so, could you please provide me with with a list of all the things I need to look out for when buying this car. I know air suspension is one thing. What are the common things that are wrong when buying this vehicle?

i am paying £6,500 so I want to be sure I am not being conned.

Thanks, Steve.

Good morning,

Yes, the air suspension is always an issue with these and are very expensive to repair.

As far as the rest of the car, take it to a shop before purchasing it, and have them go over it front to back. Have them drive it to look for any engine or transmission issues. I would also recommend a compression test to be sure there is no issue with the motor. It would be money well spent to be sure you are not getting a lemon.

If the seller balks at this, then walk away as he is hiding something.
