Curious what kind of interest and fair asking price would be for our 2015 GLK 350.
Absolutely LOVE this car but our family of 4+dog need something bigger.
Looking at possibly a GL, GLS or Volvo XC90.
Not looking to sell for another 6-7 months, depends on inventory and other factors.
It’s a White 2015 GLK 350 w/76k miles. CPO when I bought it ~2yrs ago and dealer maintained ever since, with the occasional extra oil change, from time to time. Fully loaded, MINT condition with every option. HID lights, appearance package, push button start, auto-park, lane assist, heated steering wheel, you name it. Also Added custom window tint and a draw tite hitch w/ heavy duty wiring harness summer of 2021. Only known flaw is the driver side MBTex seat cover issue.
Because it was CPO the dealer extended the warranty, which I extended to March of 2023, for peace of mind. Not sure if that’s transferable though.
You can check KBB, carmax, and cargurus for online sale prices for similar mileage/built ... Online retailers (carmax, carvana, autonation) can give you a quote to buy. All it depends on market conditions at the time of your sale and if you are trading and which car you are buying. I was reading the lease forum and they say there is no deals with MB though you can get some discount from BMW....
Interesting you want to sell your GLK, but if it runs good and had not given you any bad issues, I'd keep it, just me but we all have different reasons for what we own or sell. I myself am looking at selling my 2010 GLK 350 4matic as I have had too many bad issues within the last 12 months, if it was issues I could personally fix, I'd keep it, but even rebuilding a stock engine (non performance mods done) the specialty tools for signal connections and settings creates a large tool expense that I personally do not desire to shell out. SO...I am finding a replacement engine, simple install, then selling this one GLK here, keeping the hot rod one!
Not to rain on ownership of Mercedes Benz as a brand name, but I am very disgusted with the engineering failures of the cars they are producing, some articles that discuss reliability suggest the MB Brand is not a good way to go, which is reality check time for many car buyers. When a Toyota has a better rating overall then a MB, and I can buy 2 Toyota cars for the price of an MB, I am all done with this brand.
I traded my 2013 GLK 350 at 79K mileage last summer for GLB 35. I had GLK for 5 years and had no problems other than regular maintenance and brake changes. We have only one car, so it was time for me to change before the big repairs start. I wanted to keep the 300 hp engine, so I was also looking at the Rav 4 prime. Local Toyota dealer was marking up the prime $10K over $43K MSRP at $53K which made it more expensive than the BMW X3 hybrid ($52K-$2.5 discount~$49.5K) and close to GLB 35 after 6% off from MSRP... Also they didn't let me test drive the prime vs both BMW and MB lend me the keys to drive the car without the salesman.... Toyota salesman was selling the car based on their quality in showroom... Based on my GLK experience plus driving tests, I ended up with GLB, but I wished MB kept the GLK with the modern updates of the GLB... At least I rented a Rav 4 last Spring for a work trip and I knew the hood was getting very wavy driving at highway speeds... Again they are different cars... Now the market is even worse:

"The transaction price of the average new vehicle, a measure of how much people actually pay, has been over $40,000 all this year and reached $45,031 in September, according to data from Kelley Blue Book. That’s an increase of $4,872 or 12.1% in the past year."
The average price for a used car hit $27,000 in November and is now already up to $27,500, according to Black Book.
The average used car costs around 35 percent more today than it did at the beginning of 2021.

Not yet. Mitigating circumstances prevented us from selling. It’s still running strong at 107k miles (no issues) so we’re going to keep it for a bit longer.

Still own the GLK? Moving to NC next month and I will be in the market for one.
