First Timer - trying to not panic about...
First time MB buyer here. Purchased a '17 GLC43 (pretty much loaded) last week. For some reason I am having massive amounts of anxiety about this purchase. Don't get me wrong I love the car. Anyone else experienced this when buying a car? Please share.

Welcome to MBWorld. Whenever you get those panic attacks... easy solution is to run to find the keys, get in the car, and put your foot on the gas. Roar of that AMG engine should put you back at ease

They only reason to regret the purchase is if you cant afford it or really didn't want it. Otherwise go for a drive and enjoy it.

Regardless of what I think about that whole AMG situation, that is the best looking GLC I have seen. I like the black and white combo, especially with those wheels.

Thanks, it's the best looking one I've seen too, photos don't do it justices tbh. Sounds great too.
