I came across something weird last night. I saw a 2012 for sale with no air suspension listed on either the spec sheet on drivers site nor the factory sticker but the car had air suspension. That’s so weird. Could PCS or radar cruise automatically add that?

TriC

That is very strange indeed. To answer your question, neither PCS nor radar cruise required air suspension. Evidently, the only option that mandated it was the Executive Class Seating Package with RWD, but even then the air suspension was a separate (though required) option.

Are you sure this was a U.S. spec vehicle?

Not so sure...I just saw a 2015 LS600hL that did not have LKA, Radar Cruise, or the PCS system. That was a shock.

Here's the car In question, maybe I'm missing something. I know this car inside and out by now and first time I've seen this and I've seen a lot of them.

That was my only explanation to the wifey as well that somehow the vin was wrong or the pictures were wrong. I didn't look too far into that car as it had multiple accidents on the carfax. The other thing I notice is that the car is supposed to have parchment interior but man it looks a lot lighter in the pictures like it has alabaster.

TriC

It definitely has a parchment interior. Alabaster has matte (less shiny, more grayish) wood.

Little

That's right you are indeed correct. I forgot about the matte wood. I emailed them this morning but have not heard back.

Ok this has had to have been something required with a car with the PCS and radar cruise. I just found another car outfitted the exact same way and the same thing. The car does not show air on specs or build sheet yet the car has air suspension and confirmed by pictures/ convos with the owner. That's so weird. I dont see anything in tbe sales brochure stating this.

I was going to say with multiple accidents maybe they replaced the console for some reason and the only one they could find had the air suspension button so they stuck that in there, but now that you have found a second car with the same thing its just plain weird. Are these people getting free air suspension included on their car?? Lol

Little

Now I'm just so curious I need to find out why lol. Now if I could just buy an air suspension car I would have 100's more options.

Little

In the end you are probably right. Must just be something that got overlooked but I just found it weird that after looking at the records of 100's of cars I find two back to back that are wrong.
