GLC43 due for lease return, may keep - things to look at

Hi All,

I have a 2018 GLC43 which will be out of a lease in ~6 months. It was a 4 year lease so the warranty expiration will also happen at the same time.

Generally it's been a car without issues other than consumables.

We've had the trim discoloration issue, as well as musty AC issue as on-going annoyances. We had the car not wanting to start maybe a handful of times during the ownership. My wife also reported that the engine restarted on her randomly somewhere in a neighborhood drive (i.e. not highway speeds, maybe 25-35 MPH)...

So with the warranty approaching its end what would you guys recommend to check if we were going to keep the car past the lease?

Thank you!

Sucks nobody every said anything. What did you end up doing? I'm thinking about getting one of these until my GLB arrives sometime between now and the year 2024. I'm also worried my GLB will come with manual windows and drum brakes with all the b.s. part shortages.
