Agility control suspension???
im looking at at 2013 E350 4matic with 44k on it. The only thing that bothers me is that it says it has “agility control suspension “. Is this a problem on these cars? I had a friend that had the airmatic on hers and she eventually got rid of it because of the airmatic headaches.
Is this a is a deal breaker?

Are they the same thing? Airmatic and Agility Control Suspension?
I don't think Airmatic is a deal breaker if you understand that something is going to start leaking around 100k miles and you're gonna have to shell out some money to fix it but then you'll be good for another 100k. If you don't really plan on keeping the car its probably better to avoid Airmatic. I personally like it because of the ease of lowering the car with lowering links from eBay. And when road conditions get sketchy I can raise the car with the push of a button. Airmatic is also a smoother ride than traditional suspension, at least that's been my experience.

No, Agility Control suspension is your base coil spring. It's basically terrible (I have it on my car).
Airmatic is MUCH more comfortable but be prepared to shell out $ to get it fixed. I've gone through 3 full sets of agility control suspension (within warranty) within 90,000km, so yeah, if it's going to crap out on you you might as well get Airmatic.
