Leasing a cla 250

[bStiffler582]

Honestly, this sounds like chit deal, OP. MB regularly offers much better lease deals on their C-Class, which is a much nicer car. Personally, I'd hold out for a BMW 2-series for the same money (if not less).

EDIT:

Here, I just found this for you.

http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/conte...=2®iontypeid=2

M235i (hnnngggg) for $489/month with $3k down.

Not a fan of beemers and really?I think the CLA is nicer then both the C and E class

There is a much bigger demand for the CLAs right now vs the higher MSRP C-Class, so the Cs are marked way down to move them. My friend just bought one. He wanted the CLA too but in his area there was a 6mos wait for one. He ended paying pretty much CLA price for a well-equipped C250.

i'm not saying you need to buy the AMG version. i'm just saying that spending $40k on a CLA is stupid when there are so many other better cars for the price. i think you care more about the badge on your car than how good it actually is.

Ehh Sure,won't argue about that


What's other cars do you suggest then

are you looking for a sedan or coupe? luxury or performance?

for just straight performance sedan and if you don't care about badging, i'd go with a 2015 wrx sti...it might be somewhat childish but it's an amazing car and motor trend said it's basically like a 911 in many ways at 1/3rd of the price

if you're looking for a coupe, i'd go with the 2015 BMW 228i
looks good, handling and balance is supposedly excellent, rear-wheel drive, and 240hp, 258lb/ft torque
starting price is just $32k so you can get a nicely optioned one for well below $40k

edit: just configured one with M-sport line, estoril blue exterior, red leather interior, premium package, and lighting package
estimated lease is $426/mo, 36 months, 15k miles/year, and $5k down
you can also add things like M-sport brakes, technology package, etc. and that brings the price up but even with those two options, it's still around $460/mo

I like coupes but I guess it don't matter at the end of the day
I prefer performance & luxury but with my 450 a month cap I won't get that so for now luxury

I use to drive GTO so I love speed but WRX is not my thing,I'll check out that beemer now

Thanks,If it was possible for me to lease an AMG I would be on that!

[Chunkithunder]

My cousins leased a 2014 428i at 5k down $450 a month OP















moral of the story, get a 428i instead of a cla250

[Tough92]

Also since it seems like a lot of you are against this car can you guys explain why?


For the 100x time the price in the OP is what I offered and I'm NOT paying that,he's gonna have to give me a sick deal for me to go forward with this lease

i'm not a huge fan of the CLA in general (except the AMG version), and here's why:
- very polarizing design that looks really awkward at many angles
- FWD, and even the 4MATIC is FWD biased...not that FWD is necessarily bad it's just that you'd expect a "sporty" car from a luxury manufacturer to do better
- it's just a mediocre car overall, and you can get better deals for the same price

Modding a car is the WORST way to waste your money

Putting a Turbo in the FRS won't increase it's value at all but will make it a really fun car. The way I look at it is you could put 5k into a car and make it really fun or you could put 5k towards a lease and after 3 years have nothing to show for it.

What this guy said.

It is indeed true that modding cars is a moneypit that will not increase resale value, turboing a FRS would give you a car with an awesome level not found in anything under 45k.

It would be much cheaper for the op to turbo his FRS than buy a CLA, and he would end up with a better car imo.


If the above poster is correct in stating you could get a 235I for the same money, that would be a way better car.

RWD, A real ****ing engine, will be a fun car with a 6mt.

OP can't get a M235i for the same price, but he can get a nicely specced 228i (tech package, premium package, lighting package, M-sport line, M-sport brakes, estoril blue exterior, red leather interior) for around the same price
240hp, 258lb-ft turbo
RWD
6MT (free option)
almost perfect 50/50 weight distribution

[Raidersfan13]

Brah, save up and buy a car certified pre-owned. I have a c350 and its mine, love it. Not a fan of the cla though, especially for that price

[gswarrior510]

lol at 5k down, CLA being better than C/E class and the rest of the posts by op

[Tough92]

Looks wise CLA exterior is nicer,Interior the CLA is a huge upgrade from gto and frs interior,Plus I could give 2 phucks what the inside looks like

If I can get the CLA for a good deal like 0 down 380-400 I think that's a good deal

Better option than the CLA for sure.

At this point in my life I dont care about badge, so Id go for a STI, but I would be more inlcined to buy an sti rather than lease; unlike a beamer, it wont depreciate like crazy, and it wont cost you an arm and a leg once its off warranty.

[BruceYun]

Its bimmer not beamer.
bimmer=car
beamer=motorcycle.

enjoy your bottom of the line car. But hey at least its a benz

[goblin6]

Where I scrwed up was I said im looking for $450 a month max,so he said to get you this car for this price you would need 5k down.....So 3k roll over from my trade in and 2k out of my pocket

1.Not paid off (Owe 12.7)
2.bad carfax I got phhcked
3.38-40k msrp is a badged Camry?The exterior indeed looks ALOT better then the 2015 c-class and arguable the e-class,IMO but a lot of ppl agreed with me...Interior I could careless for the most part

So, you trade in your FR-S and they give you 12.7+3=15.7 for it? You are getting ripped off on that trade in if that's the case. I dunno if the car has been in any accidents or you beat the hell out of it but I'd imagine you could get 18-20k for it so you're losing another 2-4k on that end of the deal.

And the CLA is slow so I guess you're just buying it for looks and status? I'd much rather dump a turbo in the FR-S even if you never recoup the money. It'll be a blast to drive. But once you factor in costs it's probably still cheaper than what you'd pay for the CLA lease.

Admit it, you are purely getting it bc its a mb.

[Grant73]

I bet you anything that if you do end up leasing the CLA you are going to get tired of it in less than year and will want out of your lease.

[Tough92]

lol

208hp.

Admit it, you are purely getting it bc its a mb.

Umm did I not state 100x that I want a luxury car?That I DO NOT like BMWs,Audi,etc?and that I actually like the CLA design?

As for a fast car that's luxury and when I mean fast I mean 0-60 4.6 or less I can't afford right now unless I can get payment not a cent more then $600...Rather have payments at 400ish either way I can still bank 2k a month even of I had 600 month payments


What car do you drive btw poopman lmao
