Do all S211's come from the factory with self leveling suspension or do some arrive on steel springs. I'm looking at one and asked the question about the rear suspension only to be told its on springs.

If it should have springs - would i be mad to convert it back as one of the bonuses of the E Class estate is that i wanted the air suspension on the back for carrying and towing.
 
Yes, all E Class estates come with air suspension at the rear as standard - well 211s, 212s and 213s do. Airmatic with air suspension on all 4 corners was an option or maybe standard on the top models - I dont know.

It could be that the seller doesn't realise that the car has air suspension at the rear.

If you look behind the wheel you should be able the see the air unit or a coil spring. You might need to jack up a rear wheel to see it.
 
Thanks, that's pretty much what i thought.
