Underbody coat?
We are considering financing our GLK. Is it worth paying for an Underbody Coating? What about other packages such as paint protection, etc? The sales here are trying hard to sell us those packages, but personally not sure how much value they offer. Any thoughts?

These generally are all a complete waste of your money, and only add to dealer profit. Turn them down. The one 'add-on' I would recommend however is winshield protection IF your dealership will sell it for a reasonable price. I got 4 years of repair/replacement with MB OEM glass for $420. This is a great buy imho given the cost of a new windshield.

Well American Family does not have a glass replacement rider, so it is a good deal for me.
They will come to you to fix/replace the windshield, and will only use MB OEM glass.

These dealer add-ons are mostly profit remember; there is plenty of room for negotiation.

I dont think its a good price. My dealer in Markham Ontario, is offering each package, Wheel and Rim - Glass - Interior for $499 per package for 3 years, if you take all 3 ist like $1195 same as lease end protection This is a money grab for MB so I am sure you can negotiate.

Thanks for the heads up. I have noticed that MB service has gone down now that they have my money. I am still waiting for my car and I ordered it at the end of Jan. They said end of March but as of yet I havent heard back from them. I called but they now told me that I will get it first week of april now. My sales guy tells me that there are no discounts allowed but I hear that on the east coast they have been handing out some discounts. Oh well. Hopefully I get mine soon I cant wait.

Correction, the Glass protection was not an offer. I miss read the shield protection, its actually a paint protection, I am sorry if this causes any grief. The third option was an interior protection against weear and tear of the leather or scratches to the interior, if you have kids I guess its something to consider. The tire and rims is what I ended up taking of the three.

Were you able to take advantage of the 0.9%/1.9% APR? that is if you are purchasing... that's all over the nation, not just east coast.
