Special thanks to one of our sponsors

I just wanted to thank Ryan Vanyi at MB Westminster, CO for the fantastic deal and treatment I received there while purchasing my GLK.

Ryan had the GLK I wanted; gave me a great deal, which we managed to work on via email and a couple of phone calls during the course of about an hour; and I was on my way to Denver; (about 500 miles from where we live).

All of the paperwork was waiting for me when I showed up Saturday morning, and I would have been on my way in about 45 minutes if I hadn't elected to get the windshield protection package added, which entails having a protective film applied to the windshield. (BTW, $460 for 4 years of windshield repair/replacement with MB OEM glass is a bargain considering what a windshield costs to replace these days).

It was a fantastic buying experience in all respects; I cannot thank and recommend Ryan and his dealership enough!!

Baby G:

I drove to Denver on Friday afternoon; spent a pleasant evening at the Westin across the street, then showed up at Westminster MB at 09:00 Saturday morning to take delivery of, and drive the GLK home.

What I bought:
Arctic White with Black MB-Tex
P1 package
Multi-media package
Lighting package
Appearance package
iPod/MP3 media interface
Trailer Hitch
Running Boards
Heated Front seats
Aluminum trim

It looks very classy. The problem now is that my wife, who drives the GL, loves it. I am going to have to find creative ways to 'lose' the keys.

Am getting the front end covered in a 3M 'clear bra' Tuesday, along with getting the front windows tinted. Pix will follow.

PS: the seats were very comfortable. I drove straight home for 7 1/2 hours with 2 brief stops, and fely very good when I got home. The GLK returned 20.5 mpg and I averaged 79 mph on the way home. Not bad for still early in the break-in period.

Thebishman, I had the clear bra installed on my MINI and I love it. I haven't looked into pricing for the GLK installation yet but have you?

I have been quoted $600 for a complete front end coverage, (including all areas of the bumper), that extends 1/3rd of the way up the hood and down the front fenders along the same lines. This also includes covering the front lights which is a must do imho given how expensive it is to replace one if it gets cracked. This is in the Kansas City area.
