Air suspension inactive - 87k miles, 2005. car has been in the shop every 2-3 months since purchasing for everything under the sun going wrong. i'd trade it in if i could get more than the $15k its worth (too much neg equity). dearler says compressor overheating and needs replacing. He also "found" several other things, including BOTH valve cover gaskets which he just replaced 13 months ago!!!!!!!!!!!
I can find compressors online for $650 (including shipping). Valve cover gaskets are in the $30 range online. Is it worth the excessive labor charges to have them do it?
