Comments on GLC 300 Build?
All,
I am seriously considering my first MB. I have been a BMW guy for several vehicles, and considering making the switch. When my current lease is up, I am leasing a premium SUV -- either a GLC or an X1/X3.
I tried the GLA, which I liked a lot -- but it was just too small for me at 6'2". I felt like I was staring at the top edge of the windshield.
Wondering if any of you have a comment on this build? I am going to order for late June delivery:
2018 GLC 300
Selenite Grey
Black M-B Tex
19-in 5-spoke wheels
Premium Package
LED Headlights/Taillights
Smartphone Integration Package
Advanced Parking Assist Package
3 years maintenance
I am negotiating prices now and hoping to get this on a 36 month 15k/year lease with $0 down and payments around $600 per month. I feel like that is close to bottom dollar, but I'm almost there.
If you guys have any suggestions on the build or the pricing, I'm all ears.
Thanks so much.

If it was me... + Panorama Sunroof +..Heated Front Seats + LED Puddle Lamp MB Logo Projectors = MSRP $48,905... Pano & Heated Front seats will also help you on back end value down the road for future trade/sale. The "Puddle Lamps" are a kinda-cool-very-neat thing...
Schedule a appt with Mercedes North Orlando to go down and see/drive this exact GLC - they have that rig in stock as of today - their stock#JV077158 .. (407) 710-5111...., they are always pushing hard to sell another new Mercedes - with them its BEST to be eye-to-eye with them - skip the internet and phone nonsense - and you can be driving your GLC this weekend..

I added the LEDs to my build after reading stuff here in the forums. So many think it is a "must have" -- that got me on board.

To each his own....
1. Build: If you are intrested in Build - then for the equipment you have listed - at this moment 2nd decade April is still open for production changes - as long as the dealer you are talking to has a booked production GLC300 for that decade - they can make changes to your specs.... from build completion April 20th - I would say 4-5 weeks for US delivery put it at end-May/1st-week June.
2. New 2019's will start building in June for late August release here in US - no "major" changes from 2018 to 2019 FYI
Keep the beat !

Pano moonroof holds value better than Burmeister, but is still depreciating asset. It also makes the cabin louder, heavier, and harder to keep cool in the summer. Another component to rattle and break. Also, sudden moonroof explosion has been an issue.

Selenite grey and black MB Tex is going to get very hot in FL. Selenite holds a lot of heat almost as much as black.

- I opted for the night package (321 & 521). I've attached an image in case you want to see how that affects your visuals.
- I opted for (U09) MB-Tex Dash & Door trim, highly recommend this for only $350.
- I use the Parking Package far more than I thought I would. Not the self-park...the 360 cameras & hands free liftgate. Won't buy another car without a 360 view.
- I did get the audio upgrade.
- I would get the static LED headlamps (as you are doing) vs the Intelligent LED system I got. Purely because I live in Chicago so it never turns on...there is always an oncoming car at any time of the night anywhere near the city. I've read other people love it however. I think it just depends on how dense the car traffic is in everyone's particular situation.

The on-line configurator seems not now the extra trim pieces in the lower grill for the AMG/Night package? I'm glad to see they are there.
My wife is pushing me toward the Lunar Blue, which is similar to the "Carbon Black" on my current BMW.

So the build changed a little after crunching some numbers and consulting with my wife. She said -- "get the Night package, you know you want it" -- and "ohhh, I like the Lunar Blue." My current BMW is "carbon black" which is a very deep blue, so this is a color I like. So here is the final build, which priced out at $47.505
2018 GLC 300
Lunar Blue
Brown M-B Tex
AMG/Night Package
Premium Package
LED Headlights/Taillights
Smartphone Integration Package
Advanced Parking Assist Package

After 9% discount and some other cost finagling, this wound up with $0 down and $630 per month for 36 months on a 15k year lease. Ordering it for late June delivery.
I wanted to do the espresso brown interior, but I am told it is not allowed with the sport package -- even though the MBUSA website shows otherwise. Dang it! I loved the brown steering wheel.
