A bit lucky right before warranty expires

The car was perfect in every detail, except the navigation system. It got jammed and stuck, a typical malfunction of software or firmware. Only after some visits to the dealership, and some pictures taken from the screen during malfunction, the service manager was convinced there was something else going on. This happened right after buying the vehicle with warranty about to expire. But they honored the promise by replacing the navigation unit. I put 15k miles on it and it still works well.

STILL my dream car

I bought mine new in 16 loaded (sticker was $93K - twice my 1st house back in the day) and purchased the 7 year extended warranty which expired at the end of 22, so I just did the muffler delete with upgraded ceramic tips which gave it a BIT more power, but now it 'sounds' like it has WAY more power! YOWZA!!! Be careful with the AMG wheels, if you bend one you'll be out $1300+ each. I've had no mechanical issues or replacement parts other than the battery, I still have my original brake pads, albeit I only have 32K miles on her. Super dependable, but my wife (a GLC 300 owner) hates it because it sits so low, and the back seat does suck if you have adults back there. I garage this over the winter with a trickle charge on the battery, but it does do well in the snow with the AWD, sporting all seasons or better. I don't plan on selling this one any time soon :-)
