S560 with airmatic that feels a bit bouncy, is that normal or a dealbreaker?
I went to see a 2018 S560 today at a pretty reputable showroom over in Umm Ramool and the interior was absolutely flawless with the Burmester sound and all the massage functions working perfectly but when I took it over a couple of speed bumps near the airport the rear end felt a little more floaty than I expected and now I can't stop fixating on whether the air suspension is on its last legs. The salesman kept saying it's just the comfort setting and that these cars ride like clouds but my neighbor has a W222 and his doesn't bob around quite like that after hitting a dip so my spidey senses are tingling a bit. I've been around the block enough to know that airmatic struts on a Mercedes in this region don't last forever especially with the summer heat baking the rubber bladders and I really don't want to sign a finance agreement only to have the car squatting on its bump stops in the Mall of the Emirates parking garage a month from now. I did a bit of digging online and found a spot that offers a Dubai Mercedes Pre Purchase Inspection and they apparently hook up the Xentry software to run a full diagnostic on the suspension valves and the ABC system if it had one which gives you an actual health reading rather than just guessing by the bounce test. Just curious if anyone else has walked away from a seemingly perfect car over a suspension quirk that turned out to be a five figure repair waiting to happen or if I'm just being too paranoid because the car is otherwise exactly what I've been hunting for.
