Switching out my C-63 for a GL-63
Hey folks. I am toying with the idea of buying one of these:

4JGDF7EEXFA456471

4JGDF7EE6FA453034

Can someone shoot me the service history if able? I really appreciate it.

Andy

I can't help you specifically but I enjoyed both cars and as long as your expectations are realistic for a huge and heavy car like the GL compare to "relatively" light and nimble C, you will like the GL.
Keep in mind that the GL is very hungry for brake pads and tires. I have had very bad experience with oe tires. In time for maintenance, keep aftermarket brake options and other tire options in mind.
Be sure to evaluate the 360 surround view in the dark. My 2014 is absolutely useless in the dark and more of a risk to use!!!
You will miss the C😔

Good data.

I think I read something about a software update specifically for this camera issue. My understanding is it gives the camera much better low light capability.

I tried showing the update bulletin to the dealer and they said it is not applicable to my car, and I have a 2014 GL63. So the camera is still useless in the dark.

our 2016 is supposed to have the updated version but it's still very useless in the dark. like shadowr350 said, using it in the dark is more of a risk than aid
