CLA 35 (2021) looking to buy, tips?
Hey guys, I’m in the market for a used CLA 35 (2021+) in grey magno (matte) color, in EU (DE/AT) and figured this would be the best place to ask for some real-world advice from people who actually know these cars.
I’ve got a few questions:
- Which options are essential?
I think I definitely want to get the burmester audio, night package (black trim, black wheels), 19" wheels, keyless go, multibeam led, dynamic plus package
- What is the mileage range / price I should aim for?
I'm looking at the 40-70k km range, and aiming for under 38-39k €
- Maintenance costs
It will be my first Mercedes, I expect the maintenance costs to be a little pricier than more common cars but I don't know if it's really that bad?
Are there any common issues or expensive maintenance items? things to check at inspection?
Any other tips/things to look out for?
