Take it from experience. This car could end up costing you a ton of money.

One of the most expensive systems to maintain in this vehicle is the hydropneumatic suspension. Since it is a grey market vehicle, it will have hydrostruts and nitrogen spheres on all 4 corners. It cost me over $700 just to replace 1 hydrostrut (think about if you hadda replace all 4!!!!!)

I would advise you to look for something else.

just my 2 cents, tho.
The four place hydropneumatic suspension was only available on the gray market EURO cars, true.

But it was an OPTION, and not too many cars had it.

But if this particular one did, you should run away. They were the devil's invention.
