GLC 43 AMG
New for me 2017 GLC 43 AMG

Coming from an X5 5.0 performance. Really like the air suspension on this GLC and the ability to change driving dynamics at the switch of a button. Performance is quite decent and handing has minimal body roll. Liking it so far but going to need some catted DP’s, intake & a tune to get this baby AMG in fighting shape.

I was looking at a 2018 model with 30K miles but I don't know anything about them, or even what a fair price is. I just know it was immaculate and I didn't want to get out of it.

Used car prices are pretty crazy high at the moment. I can only tell I’m loving my first MB. The 43 AMG offers a spirited yet elegant drive. Don’t miss my BMW at all!

Welcome to the 43 club Absolutely love that color combination. I honestly have to say, with the addition of intakes and a JB4 piggy back controller, I personally haven't felt the need for downpipes. I had considered it but the net gain/cost per HP ratio just isn't there for me. Truth be told, in real world every day driving scenarios, I can't use 100% of it's capability as it is. It gets incredibly spunky with a bit more boost on tap alone. Enjoy this little AMG "lite"

Thank You! Glad you are enjoying that JB4 tune. On the fence with that tune or OE stage 2
