2017-2018 GLC43

Hi, I'm new here.

I'm thinking of buying a 2017 or 2018 preowned certified GLC43, any advice, information and/or recommendations would be appreciated. Most like the purchase won't be until the 4th quarter of the year after the new models come out.

Thanks for any help

If you get one make sure it has all weather tires and just not summer tires especially if it has 21in wheels.
Summer tires have crabbing issues.
If you go 2017 make sure it’s awd as of 18 they all have awd
I have a 18 with the 21in summer tires and the only problem is the crabbing which isn’t really a problem cause I live in Florida however on a cool evenings or mornings it can be a problem.
Other than that it’s a good ride with crazy power in sport plus mode.

Get 20" wheels.
'17 MY cars do not have the performance exhaust as an option. The '18 MY do have it optional. Get it if you can.

2018+ GLC43 came with option of having Performance Exhaust. That alone would make me look only at 18 or newer models. I have a 17 and the option was not available when I purchased.

Also, the crabbing can be fixed with All Season Tires or at least for me, the crabbing is no-more after I switched tires. Oh look for models with the ILS or full LED lights. I retro fitted the ILS lights from the standard LED lights and there's a HUGE difference in light output.
