Mercedes: Mercedes GLK350, oregon dealer, california dealer


Question
QUESTION: I am planning on buying a GLK350. I live in Los angeles, california where we have a sales tax of 8.250. I am thinking about buying the car from a dealer in Oregon where there is no sales tax! Is the car properly equiped to be registered in California?

ANSWER: The suitability for operation and registration in California would be best provided by a California dealer. If not the Oregon dealer.
Purchasing a vehicle out of state may have ramification regarding whether you are a resident beyond my expertise. I would hope that the window sticker would also provide information about the vehicle and its suitability for use in California.
Good Luck

QUESTION: What, if any, is your opinion on the 2010 Mercedes GLK350? I don't put much more than 7500 miles per year on my cars, and I generally keep my cars for 10 - 15 years!

Answer
Leon,
I have no knowledge about this vehicle, but you may be able to search Google for a test report.
Consumer reports, or Car and Driver come to mind.
BenzWorld offers a forums section that has many knowledgeable people on line. You may want to sign up and post your question there.
Let me know what you determine.
Good Luck
