My 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL500 is FINALLY on the ROAD....

I just picked up one of these but it is an 04 with around 88k miles. Did you look into doing a Coil-over strut swap? That is about $3k-ish installed and no more worries about the suspension. So if the that system fails I will do that swap. Yeah it is a very cool feature but the cost of maintanance is crazy unless you can do it yourself.

At this point, I've not considered a coil over conversion and to be honest I'd probably ditch the car before I did that. For now it's a whole bunch of fun to drive knowing that at anytime the thing could crap itself.

😮You have the same taste in cars as me. we love v8s. Good vids. I want a w140 400, 420 or 500 and c215 500. And you already have😊😊. I have a ML 500 w163. C180 w202 since jun 1996. E430 w210 but i need the w140 and c215😂😂

How good are they!!! Nothing like an old skool Mercedes-Benz V8 in my opinion.

Hey Eric, enjoying your vids as I'm looking to purchase this model of car in the next 12-18 months! Are you able to elaborate more on what repairs were undertaken? Really interested is knowing how you achieved this in a more cost effective manner than 12k struts from Germany

The 3rd mechanic that I took the car to helped me register the car. Ultimately, there was nothing wrong with the struts or any other part of the ABC system. Yes there was a slight weep around one of the struts but certainly nothing that would warrant writing the car off.

Is the abc system still fine

[@egsgarage]

Hey, yes still holding up. If not driven for a few days it obviously sags and I get the warning on the dash. I then raise it a few times which seems to fix the issue.
