    it's 2016 with 5,000 miles, but certified...so 6 more years of warranty.

    new price is 59,750. this one's going for 47,500.

    i am iffy about it since i feel like people don't really drive loaners very carefully.

    another option is a different 3 year old CPO car but it has 45,000 miles on it.

    Is it a CLA?

    I don't see why not. If it's the kind of loaner car professional adults would get, it should be fine

    I always take care of my loaners. I don't want to pay for damages to a loaner car, so I take extra good care of them.

    If you have a warranty, you have a warranty. That's the ultimate. So yeah, buy it.

    Oh yeah, I wouldn't go near the 3 year option. That is taking a supreme risk, in my opinion.

    They're not both CLA's are they? If they are I cant see how you cannot purchase both.

    Sounds like a 3 series to me.

    If it's CPO, I don't see why not.

    ya.

    it's got a longer warranty than a new car but isn't the general consensus to avoid loaner cars.

    The general consensus is to get the CLA.

    Option A: 2016, 5K miles, 4 months old, 6 years of warranty left (4 regular, 2 more CPO).
    Cons: Service loaner

    Option B: 2013, 45K miles, 3 years old, 3 more years of warranty left (1 regular, 2 more CPO)
    cons: high mileage.

    The CLA is too much for me. Maybe when I get on Durant's level.

    what's the mileage limits on the warranty. you usually don't get 3 years unlimited mileage warranty.

    I was assuming, in my original statement, that the 45k car wa getting close to the mileage warranty.

    Loaner cars aren't that bad. Generally, they only sell the top of the line ones. The rest, they just take down to the auction.
