Checking in from Austin TX

Currently shopping for a 2017 GLC300. This would the first MB in our family.


The GLC300's are fairly rare right now here in Texas once you decide on color and options (assuming on-the-lot purchase). We have some offers but none of them are that great, best one so far is only 4% off MSRP (not in Austin). I hate shopping for cars. : (


I'm a Vette guy and there are HUGE dealers (typically East coast) that have great prices. I've ordered the last two Vettes from out of state. Makes it a lot easier when the big dealers compete with each other on the forum. : ) Does this type of scenario exist in the MB world? Just curious.


Anyhow, I hope to be joining the MB family soon!

One diff I have seen with MB vs non-euro brands is that more MB's seem to be leased, turned in, and become CPO's. I'll bet not many 'Vettes are leased but I could be wrong. That said, I bought a '14 ML350 CPO from MB Georgetown. I did all the negos with Ken Shipp. We exchanged texts and emails for a week. Drove up from The Woodlands and was out of there in 1hr 15 mins. I realize you're looking for specific colors/options so that makes it harder. Good luck.

Found a decent deal in San Antonio.
Wifey is happy.
Very basic model but that is what she wanted.
