I just picked up a CLA 45 this past weekend. Drove over to Atlanta to get it. It's a 2014 but only had 52k miles, 2 owners and no accidents. Was able to get it for a hair over 22 grand. So freaking happy with it so far, tons of fun and surprisingly good gas mileage on my commute.

@@iconicrl I bought mine from a used dealership, called Auto Gallery. My experience was pretty good honestly, they let me take it on a nice test drive, they were able to use my pre approved financing from car gurus, so I got the rate I was looking for. I'd just make sure you get a carfax and read through it, make sure the service records are good and no accidents have been reported.

I sold my 15’ cla45 and bought 22’ cla45s. I can say the old cla45 is reliable, good exhaust note, and by far no issues as i kept it stock.

I owned the first facelift package they offered for the 2017 CLA 45 amg. I put on 110k miles, drive it through the rain, snowstorms and even off roading without a single engine or any minor problem. This car is extremely reliable and a fun daily driver to own!
@jlucenttАй бұрын
yes ! this car is very solid and holds up good just basic of maintenance should be good . i know of some cases where people say this car is fully unreliable and gives so many problems. they said probably with the motor especially but i seems there’s either had bad work done to it overtime or overtime not good maintenance. it also does depend on what weather and state and how u drive the car . overall best car no issues and best sounding 4cyl and fastest production 4cyl until 2023 c63 with hybrid 4cyl

Bro I’m getting a cla 45 next week and it has a stock exhaust. Is yours stock? As you can get the performance exhaust option. If it is stock did you delete the front resonator or middle one ? Car looks insane

that’s so sick .. i hope you enjoy it . it’s so worth it . my personal 45 is all factory besides the air intake and res delete (the middle one) and it does have performance exhaust option which does help .. ask what options the car ur looking at is equipped with . you don’t necessarily need performance exhaust because modding it will help out a lot .. and thanks i mostly went for cosmetics for the meantime and will soon work on more things for it
