Purchase Guidance for CLA or C class

[Blobcat]

The OP wants a circa 2018 or newer car.

I wouldn't hesitate to a C63 Wagon for £20k

I know, but a 2014 C63 with a private plate would be much nicer than a 2017/18 C200...

Did you see the estate I posted yesterday?

Practical and cheap

There are plenty of W213 E class 220d cars out there for circa £20K that’s where my money would go, £30 VED for a 2016 car, try one you won’t be disappointed

That's the problem with the E's they're very very good value for money - I wouldn't drive one if I wanted a C... as they're just too good.

I agree totally

I agree totally

The mileage must be a secret though ?? Doesn't mention it on the blurb. That would concern me because it would probably been to the moon and back

They are amazing value for money, comparably the Volvo V90 which you’d imagine would be cheaper is actually more expensive comparing similar years and mileages. Only ‘small’ issue is finding one with non black interior and reasonable extras (not that they are badly equipped mind)

That or a 350 will replace the XC90 next year
Something like this, shame it’s not next year!

They are nice John I particularly like Selenite. I’m waiting for a nice 213 E43 estate to come into my price range

Indeed that would also be a great choice , had slightly forgotten that one !

I picked up an E220d estate 4 weeks ago for £21k. 16 plate amg line plus with 34 k miles on it!! Loads of extras like Multibeam, full digital dash and 360 cameras

Because of GFV; it’s only £50 more a month than my mini!!

To be honest - I’m so happy with my motor. I’ll run this into the ground and get a weekend mess about

I am interested to drive a 5 series and compare the laser lights for ‘Adaptive’ function. The Mercedes is good but I find sometimes it can be a little slow haha

Welcome Bashir,

Just a note to point out that the CLA is a front wheel drive car, whereas the others mentioned here are rear wheel drive.

yeah def disregard the cla

That would work ! I had a Golf VR6 some years ago and that was a stunning little car so, yes, what do you think MB ?

I had a Golf 16V after a Audi GT Coupe. But used to drive a police VR6 occasionally, best of all worlds.
