As only when facelift is when they had the S version. As the non S was discontinued worldwide since the facelift so MBUSA either discontinue the CLA 45 or bring the S over.

You're welcome. That still depends on the region the vehicle is sold in, for example UK versus Germany, the options are all different and the standard features are also different as well.

Theres an option that all S have? Don’t remember if the AMG Drive Unit on steering is standard.

The Carfax will tell is not an S. Just want to have the facts to tell the dealer (Non MB).

You're welcome : ) nope, the drive unit was not standard at least not this model year. It was part of the Dynamic Plus Package Lite or if you choose the Dynamic Plus Package.

Confirmed, the drive unit was not standard, it was part of Dynamic Plus Package Lite which has an option code of DT1PKG or Dynamic Plus Package that has an option code of DE6PKG

Yes, bear with me with MB's very interesting package names, ie. a Plus Package with a word Lite

Car has just 1800 miles. Apparently old couple buy it without too much testing and is a little hard for them.
Price: $50k

You're welcome ya these vehicles ride rather firm. How did you find out the previous owner's information? The Ride Control helps though.

I would check to see if the wheels are bent or cracked, do any alignment and tire balancing. Get a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) then if you want, downsize the tires and if it has runflats, get rid of those and put a set of PS4s.

Did you ask for thr vehicle to be brought to a MB dealership for a pre-purchase inspection? I always advise this when buying used vehicles. Worried about the potential of hidden damage.

Yes, they did. Also, 2023 10k service (@817 miles), last year oil change and service @ 1400 miles. Now have 1800 miles. I will go to service as soon as picked up. Car still have MB warranty and Lexus is giving also 4 months (law in Puerto Rico).

Any common issue to worry about?

Yes. The only another one (posted yesterday) is a 2023, yellow! Owner didn’t answer yet. I was looking to a 2019 E53 Cabrio, but new tech without warranty… nahhh.
