I agree the air suspension is expensive to fix I had an air-shock rupture the aluminum casing wasn't cheap but these cars are superior ride and handle better with the air suspension. The air ride is a must if you tow. Both mine have it and I wouldn't buy one without it. I also like the convenience of having the air pump accessible to inflate tires and such.
