Getting my first Mercedes (GLK350 2013) [Question]!
Hello!
I hope everyone is doing well on this fine Saturday night/Sunday morning! I've been lurking this forum forever now, and I think it is finally time for me to join.
As you guys can tell from my profile, I am currently driving a Toyota Camry 1999. Yes, big upgrade, I am getting my first Mercedes next week, a 2013 GLK350. I visited the car on Friday, and I fell in love with every inch of the car. The car currently has 63,000 km. Yes, I asked the seller and the required maintenance at 60,000 km was done not so long ago.
My question to you guys is, is there anything else I should worry (check, inspect) about before buying the car?
Thank you in advance!

I bought my daughter a new 2014 GLK350 last year and have been driving it around and giving her more driving seat time. I think you will not have any problems with it in foreseeable future. This car is well built that if they make it this good I can fully understand why people like the top of the line too.

Yes, I think that's a must do even if the seller seems trustable. Almost forgot about it, thanks!
Also, do you guys think I should get the car inspected before buying at the dealer? How much does it usually cost?
Thanks again!

2011 Mercedes GLK350 4Matic in White
Used and loving it!
Got my 2012 4 year old used GLK 350 in March this year and supremely happy with it. In fact the more I drive it the more I want to drive it. Better than expected handling and great highway long distance cruising on its long wheelbase ( for such a compact car) and decent hwy mpg too. Built like a tank in shrunken form.

A bit off topic, I am from the province of Quebec too!
