The only thing I was thinking about is the 20" wheels. Has anybody drove the GLC with 20" and if so hows the ride.
And how is the ride with the 19"

I was thinking of the same exact build but white with the night package, but black on black does sound pretty good. Is your final price out the door? I thought I had to pay msrp as they told me the car was very hot at the moment.

No,got to add prep/lic/tax. It happen that I bought cars from this salesman 20 years ago that I got this deal. The other dealers that I did go to I was able to get between 750-1200 off msrp.
Also plan to ask for the all weather mats before signing the paper work.

You've got everything else. Nice job. You won't regret spending the money for those options.

GLC Wood trim

There are two standard or "free" options, Linden and walnut. For only $160 you can get the optional "Natural Grain Black Ash Wood." Has anyone seen the ash option in a GLC, and if so, how does it look?? The pictures on the mbusa web site aren't great, but it looks pretty good to me.

...understanding that opinions may vary.

Thanks

Al

Plus I don't sit back there.

20"inch is nicer too, also very unique worth the upgrade. we didn't have it, the other rims also look very good.

I agree, except for the designo leather which looks awesome.

The only problem with dropping black leather in a cold weather climate is then you can not get the heated steering wheel, which is crazy. So, everyone that wants a heated steering wheel must get black leather/interior package. Once you have a heated steering wheel, there is no going back.

QUOTE=fabbrisd1;6645405]1) I am not a fan of black leather - so I would personally "drop" the Interior package - but that's me
2) Add Advanced Parking Assist to give your Surround View Camera, Parktronic, Parking Assist - I like Surround View
3) 20" AMG black-multi spoke wheels for the Sport Package + Night Package if you want to be distinctive.

I skipped the heated steering wheel in lieu of the white/black designo interior. I figure the heated steering wheel is only useful for 3-4 months of the year here and I garage my cars so even less so for me. There's always gloves

That will be nice! However, my wife would never skip the heated steering wheel and it will be her car.

I agree with your wife. The heated steering wheel is a must. Feels so good on your hands on a cold day

I personally wouldn't buy a Benz without Distronic Plus. I have it on my 222 S-class and it works beautifully on the highway. If your mainly driving in the city then it wouldn't be as useful but you'd then be giving up all the other safety features which are invaluable in hectic city driving.
