The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLA sits at a median of $38,586 in the Canadian market right now. Most cars land between $33,995 and $56,300, which is a wide spread for a single model year. That range is really telling you two different stories, and the trim you pick decides which one you're in.
The typical CLA has about 43,618 km on the clock. Use that as your anchor. A car near the median price with roughly that mileage is priced about where it should be. Stray far from either number and the math changes fast.
What the trims are really telling you
The CLA 250 is the value play here. Its median sits at $33,995, and the typical range is tight, $32,888 to $35,448. When a range is that narrow, sellers agree on what the car is worth, so you've got a clear line for what counts as a fair number. Pay above $35,500 and you're overpaying unless the mileage is genuinely low.
The AMG CLA 45 is a different animal on price. Median $56,300, with most examples between $54,899 and $58,000. That's a $22,000 jump over the 250, and it's the reason the model-year range looks so stretched. Nothing wrong with paying it if the performance is what you're after. Just know you're buying a separate car, not a nicer version of the base one.
Mileage moves the needle by roughly $2,063 for every 10,000 km. So a CLA 250 with 80,000 km should run you close to $7,600 under one sitting at the median mileage. Run that adjustment before you make an offer. Twelve deals on this model year got flagged in the last 90 days, so priced-right cars do surface. Bring the number, and don't let a high-mileage example wear a low-mileage sticker.
