2001 s55

I recently considered buying a 2002 S55 and posted on boards for imput on problems with this model.The info I got was that there were problems with the airmatic suspension and other electrical issue.I passed on the S55 and bought a 2003 S430.
The previous poster was right.There is info on this board relative to your question.

S55 actually has the ABC suspension which has proven to be very reliable in most cases, but if it does fail it could get costly.
