Air suspension

I've just been to look at a Range Rover sport at a dealer to possibly purchace.
Nice car but the suspension was flat at the rear when I got there. It pumped up when it was running though.
When I questioned him about it he said that all air suspension vehicles lose air when sat for a week or so. Our two X5s have been left for 2-3 weeks and never dropped a mm.
Is he right? I've never known that before.

Not only that, he was an idiot too. An hour befor I called and asked if I could test drive it when I got there. Yes was the reply. When there he asked if I had booked 24hrs in advance otherwise they can't let people test drive cars..
What kind of a dealer does that? He mumbled something about insurance blah blah but by then I had lost interest. Bafoon.

I didn’t think and cars with air/self levelling sank down since the days of the old Citroen’s! Sounds like he’s best avoided

Walk away!  The air should not leak out.  My E53 never sank even when left for a month.
