2021 AMG CLA 45 (Sold 14 CLA 45 AMG, 05 C55 AMG)
Talking New owner of a 2021 AMG CLA 45

Friday of last week I traded in my 2014 CLA 45 AMG for a 2021 AMG CLA45. First time I have ever stuck with the exact same make and model of a car.
I have been cross-shopping and almost bought a 2021 M2 Competition a couple of weeks ago but the deal was just not there.
I negotiated MSRP -10% ($71,410 -10% = $64,269) as my buy price and was given a generously fair price for my trade-in. I picked this car off the lot, it was the only car in a wide area that had the options I wanted. I didn't get everything I'd have liked and a few things I would not have spent money on but it was a compromise. I had been looking for the exact options I wanted for about a month and only found one other car that was close and it was way out on the East Cost. I did not want to go through ordering and waiting as I do not think I would have gotten the same deal on price.

2021 AMG CLA45 in Mountain Gray Metalic
257 Classic Red / Black Leather
RSX 19" AMG Twin 5 Spoke Wheels
401 Heated and Ventilated Front Seats
463 Heads-up Display
810 Burmester
897 Wireless Charging
D03 Illuminated Star
DA3 Parking Assist
DA5 Multimedia Package
DC1 AMG Night Package
DC3 AMG Aerodynamics Package
DE6 AMG Dynamic Plus Package

Day 1 ready to drive home. Lighting gives the color a strange tint, it's Mountain Grey Metalic, not designo Mountain Grey Magno.

Gorgeous car, I love the mini-CLS look of the CLA (although I'm biased ). I need to drive one of the new 45 AMG's, I definitely want to try out the new M139 engine.

This car sounds so good from the inside, but not much from the outside due to regulations.

Gorgeous car. Please feel free to give some impressions and thoughts as you get to know it. The CLA 45 is definitely on my list to check out next year as I start to think about my next ride.
