If the pneumatic suspension is in good working order the ride quality of this vehicle is probably the best in the world. The 6.9 is a exceptional vehicle and probably becoming quite scarce by now and thats why the value of this vehicle is climbing.
If you want ride quality, get a Citroen DS21, which is easily available for 20,000, Mercedes licensed their technology (along with Rolls-Royce and Bentley).
