Well, before buying my used Benz E-350, we went and looked at the CLA and the "come on" price of 30K. That is $30K stripped. If you want anything on it, it is extra. By the time my wife and I added up the features we wanted, the car was pushing $48K. So, we bought the used 4-Matic w/ 40K miles on it. Love the car. Does great on these winter roads. But for $48K I would buy something else, fast or not. It is a small Benz to boot.
