2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 LESS THAN 10,000 MILES PER YEAR, $53,000+ ORIGINAL MSRP, PANORAMA ROOF, MULTIMEDIA PACKAGE, PARKING ASSISTANCE, BURMESTER SURROUND SOUND, HEATED SEATS AND GOOD CARFAX RELIABILITY. Some pre-owned Mercedes-Benz SUVs get your attention because of the price. The better ones make you stop because of how they were equipped, driven and maintained. This GLC does all three.

Finished in OBSIDIAN BLACK METALLIC over Almond MB-Tex, this is not a stripped-down GLC 300. It was ordered with more than $12,000 above its $40,700 base price, bringing the original MSRP to over $53,000. That's important because you're buying the equipment and luxury of a significantly more expensive vehicle without paying anything close to its original new-car price.

And then there's the mileage story.

CARFAX shows the first owner drove this GLC only 5,708 MILES PER YEAR dramatically below the 15,000-mile annual industry average referenced by CARFAX. That first ownership period was a personal lease, and the documented history shows regular Mercedes-Benz dealer service.

The equipment is where this GLC really separates itself.

The MULTIMEDIA PACKAGE brings the more sophisticated Mercedes-Benz infotainment experience with COMAND-related navigation functionality and touchpad control. The PARKING ASSISTANCE PACKAGE adds PARKTRONIC with Advanced Parking Assist, while HANDS-FREE ACCESS makes loading cargo easier.

Then add the features you'll appreciate every single day: PANORAMA ROOF, BURMESTER SURROUND SOUND SYSTEM, HEATED FRONT SEATS, 3-ZONE AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL, BLIND SPOT ASSIST, KEYLESS-GO, REMOTE START, POWER LIFTGATE, DRIVER MEMORY, power-folding mirrors, LED HEADLAMPS AND TAILLAMPS, Ambient Lighting, Burl Walnut Wood Trim, illuminated door sills and 18-inch 5-spoke wheels.

This is the kind of cabin that reminds you why you bought a Mercedes-Benz in the first place. Open the Panorama Roof, turn up the Burmester system, settle into the heated seat and look across the Almond interior and Burl Walnut trim. Even years later, it still feels special.

Underneath is the combination that made the GLC such a successful luxury SUV: turbocharged performance, the smooth 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission, DYNAMIC SELECT and Off-Road Comfort Suspension. It's comfortable enough for the daily commute, compact enough for city driving and refined enough for a long highway trip.

The history deserves attention too. CARFAX shows extensive documentation, including 22 detailed records, and rates this GLC GOOD for its 3-Year Reliability Forecast, placing it in the TOP 25% compared with similar vehicles. CARFAX projects an average likelihood of repair and approximately $750 in average annual repair costs.

The service history isn't just a collection of entries. At 4,528 miles, Mercedes-Benz documented recommended maintenance, oil and filter service, brake inspection and additional checks. At 11,368 miles, Mercedes-Benz again performed recommended maintenance, including an oil and filter change, brake-fluid service and additional inspections. At 16,343 miles, another documented Mercedes-Benz service included the 30,000-mile service, oil and filter change, brake and fluid checks and additional maintenance.

That's the story I'd want to see if I were buying it myself.
