GLK350
Help with purchase: 2011 or 2012 GLK350?

Vehicle 1: 2011 model year, under 30,000 kms, Technology Package, Premium Package, rear-view camera, COMAND APS with HDD Navigation, DVD Changer

Vehicle 2: 2012 model year, between 40,000 to 50,000 kms, Premium Package (no rear-view camera and no technology package)

If both vehicles can be purchased for the same price, which one would you recommend?

Is the 2012 model better in any way because it's newer or am I better off going with a model one year older (2011), as it is fully loaded and has fewer KMs on it?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

2012 glk 350 4MATIC
Hmm....

I actually just got rid of my 2012 Glk350. I absolutely loved it, but I couldn't get over the fact that it was not fully loaded. I am now getting the 2013 glk fully loaded, so I would go with the 2011. There are no significant changes from the 11 to 12, plus the 11 has less mileage/Km on it. Go for it! Post pics when you get it regardless of which one you choose!

Check the actual date each was put into service. If it is a late 2011 and an early 2012, there might not be that much difference in warranty. The 2011 might be more if it is CPO'd

I'll go with 2011 one. The rear view camera and navi are worth it.
