Frank.
It's okay here, too. I have no idea why there was a problem. It's derivative and actual usage are very politically correct and family safe. There are ways to use it inappropriately, as with a lot of common words, but that wasn't one of them.

02 CL500 with AMG55 kit
i am thinking about buying an 02 CL500 and the ABC is RED the guy that i am buying it from says that he can fix it for a grand. Do you think that it will cost more or less to fix. Because it tends to lower itself when in park but when i start it levels itself out.. and the ABC alert goes away. But when i stop like at a traffic light the right driver side tends to lower and when i step on the gas it rises back up. Any ideas on what needs to be fix. I could use the help thanks

I would definitely not take his word for it. Why should you buy a car and immediately have to pay him to have it fixed? I'd get a second opinion or have him fix it first before talking price. You don't want to buy it on his word and find out there's a lot more to it than he says.

There are multiple problems - the pump isn't making enough pressure at idle to keep it up , plus there's an internal pressure leak causing the car to lower , Could be the valve body or strut

At least $3000 to fix at a shop, possibly could be fixed for $1000 by him . But with no guarantee I would run unless the car is so cheap you can't resist

so plllllz any advice from someone had the same problem
and plllz be serious cuz if it's too much expensive am thinking of selling the car though i really like it but i can't afford fixing it.....

Thanks in advance
I had same problem ended up replacing all four air suspension shocks and the pump, there is really no way around it.was $8k 10 years ago

Dear Lancaster, there are tons of docs here as that happens to 50% of us at least
use the SEARCH first

Given that he had those parts in 2010, it is possible that they may no longer be available for sale
