Hey guys

Just wondering one main thing, but if you like to offer more, feel free..

1/ When looking at buying a Celsior, is it best to raise it up high, and wait ???minutes to see if the airbags leak? Or an easier question is how long would it take for the airbags to go down if there is a leak?

2/ What are some important things that i should look for when looking at a celsior?

Thanks.
B.

1/ To be absolutely sure there is no sagging, you need to run the engine for 10 - 15 minutes, take some measurements, and then allow the car to stand without running the engine for 24 hours. This can be impractical, so see if you can run a test over 4 or 5 hours. That will usually give you a very good guide, but not total certainty.

2/ All electrics, plus the standard checks applicable for any used car.

If you find the right car at a fair price, you'll be delighted to own and drive it. Good luck.

Would it work the other way? Say the car has been standing a while, measure it, then start it and see if it raises? Don't sit in the car to start it though.

Yes, so long as you could be certain the car had been standing, without the engine running, for at least several hours.

So check that the engine is cold :-)
