Considering Purchase, Help With Questions

Hey guys,

It's been a dream to own one of these C219 bodied cars for a long time now, I think I might be in a place in my life where I can seriously think about owning one as a daily. I tried doing my own searching but want the validation from the community. Please help!
  • Do all C219 CLS come with air suspension? Or were some available with conventional setups?
  • Were any C219s ever offered with folding rear seats?
  • Does the non-first year cars generally have an AUX plug for audio?
  • Are there market offerings for tow bars for these bodies?
Thanks guys. I want to have fun with one of these, check out my signature to see what I'm all about.

I did find evidence of the a tow bar on a C219, researching further.

Try to find one WITHOUT air suspension (AIRMATIC).
They are more trouble than they are worth.
