Just pulled the trigger on a GLC43
Finally pulled the trigger on a Black GLC43. I purchased from Manhattan Benz with a friends and family discount. New Country Benz was willing to give a 3000 discount. The car arrives on Tuesday. P2, tow, and pretty loaded. I went with the 20's but wanted the 21's. I went back and forth debating snow tires and summer only tires while maintaining a factory look. Pictures will be up on Tuesday.

Nice one - I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Summer tyres and get a separate set of wheel/tyres for the winter...

Would you mind telling us the cost on your car? Also, what package is inside the car. Thanks!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday. So here are the pictures finally and a few thoughts about the car. I did a good amount of driving. NYC to CT, CT to VT, VT to CT, and just running around town. The car is amazing. I don't have any regrets about the car. I averaged around 23 mph on the highway and ran it in Eco. Around town i'll put it in Sport. Don't hate me but the best way to sum up the car is it's like an S4 V6 wagon. It's just as quick as the S4 I had but, it has more space. Also the GLC43 doesn't sit as high as many other SUV's. Not an issue for me but, my girlfriend wishes it was higher.

Looks lovely, then again I would say that as that is nearly what mine looks like; albeit with obsidian black and 21" wheel option.

I think it looks great without the running boards and with the factory tint, but great we have choices to get it exactly how each and everyone wants theirs.

Hi G4,
Lovely machine.
Wish you were in Oz, I'd make you an offer on the trim they took off to fit the running boards.
We are looking to remove our running boards off the GLC 250d.
Cheers
Enjoy the ride.
