Need suggestions for replacement vehicle
Hello,
I am new to Mercedes, only got my first one in March, but someone has come to me asking for my help. I turn to the forums to get everyone's experience with this particular question.
I have a friend who has driven Mercedes for 20 plus years. She has a 2012 CLA 250, white, which has been involved in 6 accidents since she has owned it. Two of them were hit and run against her vehicle. She is scared to drive her car anymore and asked me to help find a replacement. She wants something that she feels safe in and might provide a better view of the roadway. I suggested an SUV. She is open to that idea.
She has a budget of around $35,000 and it must be a Mercedes. She would prefer CPO, about 3 years old, a rear hatch, and something that seats 5 people. I suggested a GLE 43 Coupe and she likes that shape, however that is out of her budget. I am going to suggest a GLC 300 or a GLA 250. I am open to other recommendations which I will pass on to her.
Thanks in advance.

I think the GLC 300 is a great choice. She will sit higher, they are very quiet and should provide her with a feeling of security over her sedan. They are also a manageable size for easy maneauvering. Six hits!!! WOW.
