34-37 should be a fair price with nav as I am sure sticker says 42-45...

Price it on Edmunds.com to get a fair market valuation

Sticker is 37k with premium, non-navi.

You want the Nav package. Trust me.

I just went from a '12 G37X with prem/nav to a '13 G37X with just premium and the only thing I miss about the nav package is the clock in the upper right corner of the display.

I've had nav on the last several cars (Chevy, MB, Infiniti) and they were all garbage compared to what you get with Google Maps or Waze.

So, if you have a smartphone of some sort, save yourself the depreciation and skip the nav.

Also, bluetooth comes bundled with the premium package ... the phone controls aren't as nice as you get with the nav but it works fine enough.

And if it helps, I paid 34.3k OTD in VA last month. At the time, that was a pretty good deal based on calls to many dealers from VA to NJ ... not sure if it still is. I think that included a 1k IFS discount and 1k for something else ... didn't qualify for any friends/family/etc.

BTW, NO keyleess go/pushbutton start available on the CLA ... deal killer for me as stupid as that might sound.

Good luck.

Why do you say that? I have a smart phone with Google maps and Waze. The big one for me is bluetooth streaming for music. That only comes on Navi, right?

Thanks. Your pricing helps since I was quoted similar price for car with same premium package. However, I have Friends/Family discount so I really s/b lower than that, IMO.

It is crazy to think CLA doesn't have keyless go option.

Went back to dealership this afternoon and told them I'd sign on dotted line if they could get to $32k for premium and navi. As of now, they can't go below $35k, $37k OTD.

35k full blown is going to be your best for a new 13...I mean they have already lowered the price for all 13s by 5k to sticker it at 37... I say go for it. I would have paid that for new.

Call some other dealers within the state or next state over. Also do a quick look on Craigslist for dealer listings

You may be right, but another poster was quoted $32.5 in the Fall with VPP discount. I will continue to research...

I got mine in august for 35.5 with every option except technology (wheels, wood interior, kick plates, nav etc.) Seems like without nav you could beat that by 2k maybe? Plus of course end of year motivation

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but we'll see. End of year is tomorrow and have to make the call, so it will come to a head shortly.

Sat in a CLA250 yesterday, that stickered for $37K. Holy crap...almost everything inside screams cheap. Very few options. Materials are subpar. Fake leather. Front seats are nice, as is the steering wheel, but for $37K the G37 offers unbelievable amount of luxury, tech and performance, whilst the CLA only offers the 3-pointed star on the hood. I mean I like the Mercedes when it is a C63 AMG (my friend has one and it is a beast), but for my money, especially when the money is in the mid-30K range, I would take the G37 and not even look back. And I did
