New GLC 43

Picked up my new white 43 this last week Friday after returning from vacation. Used half a tank of gas driving around this weekend, it is a bit thirsty, but I was driving it hard. Really wanted the leather interior and didn't want to wait for a build, so my dealer in Kansas City found one out of Massachusetts. (We have had a poor experience with the MBTEX on my wife's GLK) They gave me good trade-in value and discounted it well. It had the panoramic roof glass and heated steering wheel that I wanted. It came with the logo projectors that I would not have ordered, but they look cool. Also, I would have replaced the red seat belts with black, as I believe they will age better over time. But again, they look cool. Overall, I couldn't be much happier with the purchase.

Yeah, that fact that LED's don't come standard on a car this expensive is ridiculous. One thing I dislike about MB is their penchant to nickel and dime everything as a pay for option. But I digress, nice vehicle!

Yes, I would have gotten the LEDs too if ordering. It wasn't a deal breaker for me obviously, but would upgrade if possible. Planning on doing Renntech ECU flash as well.
