New 19 GLC AMG 43 - 23% off - should I buy?
What say you?
We looked at Macan’s, SQ5’s, and GLC’s.
GLC’s seem to hold value way better than Audi SQ5...which surprised me.
Most Porsche dealers acted like they were doing me a favor selling me their car. Plus crappy discounts.
Seems most like the car, a few have rattles and crabbing, and an isolated few hate it.
Should I buy one for the wife?

Paying many thousands more for carplay is stupid considering good aftermarket solutions run about $500. 23% is a crazy good discount. So good in fact, that I would be scrutinizing this vehicle very closely. Is it truly new or is this a loaner with more than 1000 miles on the odometer?

Yes, brand new.
Thanks everyone who chimed in.
Yep, it’s brand new.
It has 80ish miles on it now...50-60 of those were put on by my wife and I.
It stickers for just under $74k...so, seems pretty loaded.
I need to get a few more bucks off...but I think we will buy this upcoming week.
After the drive today, I’m not overly worried about having Apple Car Play. My wife will be able to do just about everything she wants with her phone or the Mercedes App. She mostly cares about the stereo and the burmeister seems like a good stereo.

I believe there are aftermarket options like unichip or incarpassion that adds carplay to the older infotainment. Do your own research and see if any installers in you area has any experience. I'm on the lookout for a 2020 because I like the features added but for 23% off I could easily live with a 19

I will let you know tomorrow....
OP, did you end up buying it (assuming they did come down even more)?
I got more off....but I need just a little more. I think it will work out...but we shall see after final negotiation.

We bought it.
Got another $1,000 off. Plus they absorbed all dealer fees ($400). They are also going to do an alignment at no charge based on the threads on here about factory issues.
I think all in, probably 24.5+% off?
Overall, all good.

W205 forum. It's completely interchangeable with the X253. You want to look over there for audio upgrades as well. Stereo EQ is also 100% compatible between X253 and W205.
