I think you can do better. I'm in Florida and CLA's are going for that with way less mileage. Also, have you considered the BMW 3 series or Audi A3/4? Your scores look good though. Are you a member of Navy Federal or Penfed?

I have to agree with HBLTD20T, I had the MB CLA250 and what a disappointment.

The car has a very rough ride, I was only able to drive it for a year and that was it! Now I'm in a BMW 3 series and couldn't be happier.

What were some of the maintenance problems you encountered in the year?

& what was your down-payment / FICO score at the time?

Thanks for responding and your wise advice.

Thank you. I'll take a look at some of the Audi & BMWS

Please do. My sister's 2012 Audi A4 has 80,000 and she has had not one problem out of it since she bought it. It still rides like a dream. The CLA is a gussied up econobox with Mercedes emblems and a sucker price tag. Run away..........

What did you decide to do? We just purchased a 2017 GLE and love it !

The CLA is an absolutely terrible car. Cheap, cramped and a bad image problem that communicates to the world that you want a mercedes but cant quite afford one. Avoid it. Avoid it. Avoid it. You will regret it. Avoid it. I made this disastrous mistake a couple years ago. Avoid it.

I've got my 2017 BMW 5 Series 530i Lease for $579/month from DSR Leasing. I can say that I am very satisfied with my new car and I feel so great and happy having it. I guess you can try to check out on their website if you are looking for another car to lease. They have plenty of options for Audi & BMWS. After you decided your choice, you can contact them directly to assist you in all your questions and needs.
