Analysis
Why buy the older one for nearly the same money? This 2023 CLA 250 4MATIC lists at $31,995 with 27,263 miles — mid-market, no discount. The awkward part: lot sibling #161 is a 2025 with 15,796 miles at $33,991 — two model years newer and 11k fewer miles for $2,000 more. That comparison sinks this one. The car itself is fine (coupe looks, AWD, average miles), but buy-or-moosed is relative, and relatively this is the worse buy on the same lot. No history report was pulled. MOOSED — buy #161 instead.
