Hi everyone. Just bought a new GLK in Palladium silver. Will show pics soon once I pick it up.
Hope everyone is loving their GLK.. much to learn
about this vehicle and what things to look out for and/or concerns.
Cheers

Nice find!!!! Super low miles! I thought buying a 2015 with 20k was a good deal but you found a gem.

What happened, did the original owner forget they bought it after the first 4 months?

Don’t wait to change oil and do maintenance, time or miles determine the maintenance routine. Not just miles.
Also I actually feel a power boost changing oil at 4000, the additive packages evaporate. 6 years is MB stated safe tire life unless you never go over 40 mph, the battery probably got discharged many times sitting, full discharge lowers battery life. your lucky to find one that’s new!

Great car. Price seems a little high for a 5 year old car out of warranty my. I would have guessed closer to $20k.


​​​​​I paid closer to $24/25k for one that had a lot more miles but still had 2 years of warranty left.

Thanks for the advice and welcome. It's actually for my father, I did the leg work for him in finding it. The orig. owner just got too old to drive so sold it to the local dealership. I think the dealership racked up some miles on it as it had fewer on it before.
It's loaded up with good options but I wish it had bi-xenons.. There was another one in same region w/ xenon's but 33k miles and asking almost 26.. no thanks! I have it on my VW, so hopefully I can retrofit in OEM's later down the road.

I have the regular light fixture and put in xenon , big difference if you drive country, 2.5x more light, what mb gives you is junk lighting. With xenon be sure to aim the lights all the way down.

Would love to hear more about a xenon retrofit. I have a 2015 with the standard lights also.

Likewise. I wonder if it's a simple fit of buying the OEM xenon housing and whatever wiring needed.

I've had the car a little while now and really like it. Some head scratchers are the non sliding side sun visors.. My VW Golf even has that.

Also, the passenger seat doesn't slide back very far.. when my 6' 4" father sit there he was a little tight. The driver's side goes back further.

Love the power, style, and how solid and quiet it is. Ride is decent..

I need to take pics soon

It is simply not practical to install the original headlights. You can buy retrofit kits, but they don't work the same as the original.

The sun visors will slide outwards.I remember on both of my GLKs that both seats slide back the same amount. Perhaps your's need adjustment?

I used Philips hid retrofit kit for about 220, and about 150 instal, you will get a Canbus ballast and bulbs. Lighting will be increased about 250% . It’s just a few hours instal. But MB installed the ballast down low in the front fender so motor heat soak won’t make the ballasts fail when hot . Mine are now mounted high up on the fender and fail when hot in summer and parked. Place them down low. Also aim your light fixture all the way down, you will see all pot holes and have great highway light. It’s a definite Do for the glk as mb factory halogens are the worst lights I’ve ever had.

I can drive a dark country road at 70mph and don’t need the
