CLA 45
Requesting Buyers Guide
Hey,
I'm looking into a specific 2014 CLA 45 AMG Edition 1
with 107,000 KMs. The car has no real service records at a Mercedes Dealer. No prior accidents on Carfax, no lean, etc. It has a chip in the windshield (needs replacing), one of the brake pad sensor has gone bad (pads look fine, rotors may be due soon), right headlight is out but nothing besides that. Body looks good and rust free. Light oil residue around the head gasket area, could be a result of sloppy oil pour during oil change. There is a light whine when engine is idling, doesnt get louder during driving.
I'm hoping some owners can chime in on what generally goes wrong with these cars, keeping age and KMs in mind. What should I look for before bringing the car home.
