Is it possible to see what's happening to my GLC - VIN W1NKM4GB1PU018112. It is at Brunswick too.

Thanks

@CincyMBGuy Have you seen the non projector headlights on the GLC? The reflectors one like the one on https://www.mbusa.com/en/vehicles/class/glc/suv?

I may have to change my build on the GLE to the Pinnacle Trim. These doesn't look right on the cars.

Here’s an AMG with exclusive trim and standard lights.

You’re welcome. I happened to be at the dealer when I saw your message and thought I’d grab some actual photos. My dealer is within 30 minutes from the Baltimore VPC so these are probably among the first on USA dealer lots.

It’s probably brilliant marketing on MB’s part to only have the projection lights on the Pinnacle trim for those that want them. I’m in for AMG and Pinnacle because I don’t like chrome trim and very much like the new headlamps.

Is there a middle ground by any chance like first upgrade then second upgrade digital lights, can't remember, thanks!

Chuci_24. Looks like you have an automatic and I’m guessing petro engine. The big question is how do you like the car. Did you have another GLC to compare this one too?

I've come from an a-class w177 so unfortunately that's all I have to compare it to. Its the glc 300 petrol with the 20" rims but I did also drive the glc 300e. In the UK the regular petrol/diesel engines come with the sports suspension whereas the phev comes with air suspension. I've seen it mentioned that the non air suspension is actually the better choice and I can confirm that's correct as its nicer to drive.

Other than that I have mostly positive things to say so far, although ymmv. It's a lovely car to drive and plenty quick for me and these London roads. I'm getting used to the size but it shouldn't be an issue for you US folk. Only negative is the standard sound system as I had the advanced version in my a class (the middle of the road sound option). Love the zero layer mbux system and not had any issues or glitches with it so far.

It was well equipped but not an AMG packaged car. I took it for a quick drive when it was delivered. Everything was reminiscent of the previous GLC but with the interior appearance of a C-Class.

Congratulations on the Baby. Just left the dealership. My GLC is coming out of Brunswick VPC and should be at the dealership next week (its about a 5 1/2 hr drive). What kind of insight can you give the forum on discounting if any? Pricing has been talked about in the X254 and other forums. In my case I would like to get and idea of MF & RV for April? Think we all understand that each dealer and zip code are not apples to apples on pricing!

Desal, Have you talked pricing with your dealer? Mine is emailing a sales menu on Monday. The Vpc added a sill guard for $220 and somehow they put a body color rear spoiler on for $450 which I asked for removal in the build and had a confirmation from my dealer. Not expecting to pay for them. I know used car prices are in demand, but I’m afraid they are going to try to low ball me. I have a quote from Carvana and CarMax to work with.
there are still 858 22’s nationwide.
Good luck with your negotiation!

Only thing I have for pricing so far is the original order showing MSRP + accessories. So any discounting I can get will be done when the car arrives at dealership. I have never had any add-on problems out of VPC.

But, I always keep in mind that the dealers sell cars 365 days a year and in my case I lease Once every 3 Years. So buyer beware when it comes to leasing or financing. It has been my experience that the finance guy is the one you have to watch. This year doing any research as to deals others have had has been impossible. If you pull up MB dealers or sites like cars.com, etc there is nothing there. Although the SOME dealers websites in Florida show GLC300 SUV in transit. Then there are others that have nothing.

The dealer will call when the car is ready. I'll post what happens when I take ownership.

The dealer I have been working with hopes to get his first couple GLC’s within a week.

I concentrated on getting a build and what options, colors, etc I want and seeing them in a C class or waiting for the GLC’s to arrive before making a decision. Not talked price at all. My MSRP is about $62k.

But I have been cross shopping a GV70 3.5. MSRP is about $67k. I see dealers starting to advertise about $1k to $1.5k off MSRP there.

I posted the following on 2023 GLC Pricing. The GLC fits my life style and price range. Not interested in AWD in flat Florida that's why RWD. This car was ordered from dealer allocations and is the 1st one out the door of the dealership. For me it is a winner.

I leased a GLC 300 SUV RWD yesterday from a South Florida dealer. I have purchased 1 and leased 3 from this dealership with the same salesman. But that did stop him from say we are "not discounting" because there are so few units. In the end I paid $52,107 the MSRP was $55,650. (PINNACLE Trim, with Driver Assist, Nappa Look, Dashcam, Vented Front seats & Hand Painted Pin Striping (about $350-had on the other 2 SUVs)).

Have only had it for 24 hrs. but I really like it. It is quieter than my 2020, the 2.4 additional length makes it feel bigger. The 2 info. screens work well together. I have noticed that there are a lot of improvements over the 2020.

Not sure if older models have a MB emblem shine on the ground when you exit the vehicle?


Between the Red Lines is what you would normally see as you backup. But before you start to go just touch the Icon inside the Yellow Circle you get a wide angle view. That I like



Inside the Green circle shows the mild hybrid in action. A white light appears (not shown). The Red Arrow shows that there is a car in front of you & if there were other cars around they would show also. The Yellow Circle shows the side view mirror has turned Red so there is a car approaching on the left (a few moments after the picture was taken it appeared). If you look out your window at your mirror you also see the red indicator. That hasn't changed. I like this feature of being able to see what is going on around you by just looking straight ahead.
