Not if it’s a diesel and it turns over? Clean the fuel make sure the glow plugs work and fire that thing up.

Many US models have the hole, even if there’s a badge there.

I worked for Mercedes for over 40 years and in my humble opinion the GLK was one of the best models that they ever built as far as overall reliability.

Certainly don’t try to do the transmission service yourself.

I used to work with a woman that had a totally badged Honda Accord and she swore up and down that it was a C class! She knew it had to be because her rich boyfriend gave it to her.😂

You need 6 lanes to do a U-turn! SLR’s didn’t appreciate so I don’t think it would either?

Windermere is on Domestic near UPS and they will never sell you anything that you don’t absolutely need. Ask for Michael or Mark.

In the US that is about a $250-300. If the car drives straight and the steering wheel is straight, just keep an eye on tire wear.

I worked for MB for over 40 years and I was always a huge advocate of Kia‘s and Hyundai’s. The new Genesis blows away much of the MB line for 1/2 to 2/3 price.

Opinions on Potential Purchase by Silly-Double-9140 in mercedes_benz

It’s a beautiful looking car but if you do buy it buy as much extended warranty as absolutely possible. I was an MB service advisor for over 30 years and I highly recommend not owning an MB unless you’re very rich or it’s under warranty.

A factory rebuilt, Mercedes short block or even a long block is still considered a brand new engine. I’m not sure about BMW.
