I use do own an 80s Chevroletdown as did a few friends. We routinely talk about how rare it is to see one on the road today. But what is even more rare is a Dodge.

I thought it was a good deal at the base price and what you get for that. But I agree it seems like not a great deal at all once options stacked on. I could leave with the base one if buying for a...

Yeah but a 2001 and up car is not a W123 or W126. I don't feel it is a myth at all because the people I run into with this thought process base it on the fact they are still driving a car built in...

Understandable but the one I test drove did not have the BT badge either. Blank spot on the back of that particular GLK that I drove.

I see a ton of non 4matic GLKs down here. Not sure on the M, not really paid attention to them that much. 4matic down here is pointless though.

Not that I looked for one of these but that only helps if people actually use it. I have shopped cars before that maybe have 1-2 people using that site so was worthless data to my decision.

Another option is crew cab diesel trucks :P Those can sit six easily and fit luggage and can buy two for what a GL costs.

Only "cheaper" if the person buying wanted the 4matic though. Down here to me it seems like a pointless option to get on there. I did email the dealer though to see about test driving one of these...
