Options that are missing
I was looking at a 2018 GLS450. A moderate to severe accident per carfax has cooled my ardor on this particular ride.
My question is, how do I know what I'm missing based on a VIN decode, which I have done and is attached.
How do you know what options its missing, if you don't know what all the options were in the first place?

This is for 2019, I don’t think anything changed from 2018. https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/m...S-Brochure.pdf

Thank you
Looks like it's missing the premium, LED, and grand edition packages.
I don't get ordering an $85k car and leaving off virtually any of the optional packages.

The LED lighting upgrade is considered a Must by nearly all GLS owners - those enjoying and those who wish they were .... definitely a consideration ....

LED is a must for all MB vehicles where they were offered. Non-LED lights are horrible on a vehicle where they were optionable,
Similar to the earlier cars with bi-xenon and HID vs halogen.

C300-Sold-Who took my back seat legroom?
I thank the prior answers.
I have widened the net a bit, looking at GLC 43, and GLS300.
Is there some "master guide" list of options for vehicles so you can compare what you find with what was available?
I am looking for safety features such as
Driver Assistance Package
$1,800
PRESAFE PLUS Rear-End Collision Protection, DISTRONIC PLUS w/PRESAFE Brake, DISTRONIC PLUS w/Steering Assist, PRESAFE Brake w/Pedestrian Recognition, BAS PLUS w/Cross-Traffic Assist, Badging on Dashboard, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Speed Limit Assist, PRESAFE PLUS, Driver Assistance Package (23P)
Also, I see few comments on MB's Heads up display. Is this a rare duck or what cause I sure don't see any mention of it.
Just seems logical to me, keep your eyes off the radio or speedo, and on the road.
I have seen multiple comments "get the Distronic" so it must be a winner for those who have it.

Whoops, fat fingers. GLC300
I'm in Colorado.
Also watching GLE 350 and GLE 450 and GLS 450 to try and cast a bigger net.
I also read your maintenance link, most impressive. I also like doing my own work, and except for the transmission, on my old C300, it was all doable. Lots of covers and shrouds, but once those are off, hand me a wrench.
