GLK 2013 Xenon Lights question, car color ?
Hello I am just about to order a 2013 GLK...
I have 2 questions, one relates to the Color, I was going to order in Palladium Silver, with Black interior .... anyone have this color? Does it maintain well? I have always had a silver car and thought it was time for change... Except my 12 year old car looks as good as new in the silver... Was told by dealer to go with Iridium Silver, Polar White or the Palladium Silver... Told me those were the best 3 colors for how clean they looked .... Any opinions would be great.
2nd question, Xenon Lights... No one can find a car with those as an option, so it seems like I will have to order one... Wait till Dec for it... What do you all think? Are they worth the wait? Dealer says if I order the car tomorrow I should get the same incentives in December... What do you think? Right now the car without the Xenons is getting me a 4K discount on the MSRP .... with P1 option and Multi media Pack ....
Would love to hear thoughts ....
Thanks ....

my wife bananas! :D
i dont have a pic of a palladium silver with black interior but this is fairly common combo in my area. looks great and it is pretty easy to maintain.
as for the bixenon lights... when I ordered my glk, this was a must have for us. it really makes a huge difference over the standard lights. once you have bixenon, you will wonder how you ever lived without it (think HDTV vs the old tube tv quality we used to have).

I would totally agree with the comment above, the lighting package is a must it looks so much better and the lights are so powerful and good looking. Palladium silver with black would look very good you should go for it.

AMHAB82, we just picked up our GLK Sunday, and we have the option packages that you mentioned minus the XENON headlights. I have to completely agree with Fung63's analogy. I tried to sell the wife on them, but it was a no go.
The lighting package is only an additional $1290. Where did you get $4k?

I would go with Polar White as its looks great and easy to maintain !
about the lights, I like the compression with HDTV, When you go HD you don't want to go back to SD, its really make a different, is it worth the wait ?! all up to you for me I'd wait !

My father just ordered one. He decided to go with the diamond white color. It is a couple more dollars but really looks beautiful in the sunlight and even at night. As for the xenons, by selecting them, I believe you get the revised headlights with the nice LED light strips along the top of them.

Really appreciate all your responses.... I have understood that I must get Xenon lights... Which leads me to ask another question.... I am trying to avoid ordering one and having to wait till the new year when the incentives run out, or so I have been told.....
I have found one with all the specs I want, and the xenon lights but without the keyless go... So how important is Keyless Go? Any pros or cons to it? A must have or not? People who love it and people who don't care for it...
Again very grateful for your help...
Thank-you..

Again Thanks... I think I will have to order the car, because keyless go seems like a nice feature.... I see you have running boards @kozak79 .... They look great, I heard they just
get in the way, and are too small .... Would like to hear your feedback on those ..
Thanks

They don't get in the way. I don't really use them, but my wife does step on them to get in. They came part of the Appearance Package, which also included the 20" wheels. I think they frame the car nicely.

I cannot believe that I am falling for the salesman pitch that the prices will go up in January!!!! Does anyone know how the prices trend at that time?

silly
Go with the standard halogen lights. Try to buy xenons at the local auto parts store and they will laugh at you special order man. Try to install them yourself. Nightmare. The standard package has plenty of LEDs including foglights.
Save the cash for the upgraded HK sound system. Don't get 20" wheels unless you buy the insurance$$$$.
3M Shield the entire car if you buy it. Otherwise, lease it and forgeddaBOUT IT,

Thank you all for your help... I decided I could not wait to order the car... so gave up on the palladium silver and went with the iridium silver ..... BUT i did manage to get all the options P1 with the Pano roof, Multi M with the rear view camera, Heated seats, keyless Go, Lighting package, and running boards ..... I think it should be here by the weekend... Buying a car is stressful, I am glad it's over ..... I normally buy the car after 3 yrs if I like it enough. Also because I do so little milage ..... Lets see, if they bring out an all wheel drive SLK in the next 3 years I might get one of those....
