GLS optional package

I am new to the forum and looking for a used GLS450. I checked one car the other day.

One problem is that the car owner does not have the original sticker. Is there a way to find out the option package the car comes with?

Thank you! That's very helpful!

One more question: I want to confirm whether this one comes with driving assistance package - especially the distronic control. Looking at the list, it does not have the driving assistant package or distronic control. I am not sure whether it's a deal breaker but will definitely take into considerations. But

1. Does that mean it does not even have cruise control?

2. If it does, it's just not doing adaptive?

Thank you!

Nicely optioned vehicle. All MBs have cruise control. I did not see Distronic on the VIN decode. Also didn’t see lane keeping assist which often is on a vehicle with Distronic.

Thank you!

It has a few gears here and there but the seller does claim it's fully loaded. I was a little disappointed at the lack of semi-self driving capability/manmade leather for this one...

Definitely not fully-loaded. We found it easier to look at GLS550s as they have more standard equipment. We've had distronic on our e-class back in 2011, and it is mandatory for us now. Its amazing how many Benz's don't have the driving assistance pkg. The leatherette doesn't bother us, as we have leather in the B200 and leatherette in the GLs. Good luck!

there is no leatherette on the 580 seats. Only on the dash.
