Mercedes-Benz is the best-selling brand in India when it comes to luxury cars. There are still many enthusiasts who would love to own a Mercedes-Benz but cannot do it due to the extremely high price tag that these German cars come with. There are quite a few options available in the used car market that are in almost-new condition and are much cheaper than buying a brand-new vehicle from the showroom. Here is one such Mercedes-Benz GLA, which is an entry-level SUV from the German manufacturer. It is for sale in the used car market and the asking price is lower than the price of a brand-new top-end variant of all-new Hyundai Creta.

This car is located in Mumbai, Maharashtra and the asking price is Rs 18.5 lakhs, which makes it much more affordable compared to a new GLA. The seller has mentioned that the car has completed a total of 37,000 km on the odometer, which is not much at all. The vehicle is in white colour and the pictures show that there are no dents or scratches on the body. It looks like in a pristine condition. The seller has not mentioned if the service record of the car is available. Service records reveal a lot about any car including if it has been involved in any kind of accident.

Nonetheless, even the cabin of this Mercedes-Benz GLA looks like in a pristine condition. The beige interior has no signs of wear and tear. It is a 2015 model, which makes it 5 years old. It is owned by a single owner and is registered in Maharashtra. The seller has mentioned that the car has a VIP registration number too. However, the number has not been revealed.

This is a GLA 200 CDI, which is a diesel-powered variant. It comes powered by a 2.2-litre diesel engine that generates a maximum power of 134 Bhp and peak torque of 300 Nm. It gets a 7-speed automatic transmission. According to ARAI testing, it returns a maximum of 17.9 km/l which can come down to about 15 or 16 km/ in real-world conditions.

Even though it is cheaper than the new Creta 1.4 DCT, it should be noted that nothing can replace a brand new car and the services it offers. Also, a new mass-segment car like Creta is much cheaper to maintain. Since most of the parts of cars like GLA are imported, it takes a lot of time to arrive and the parts and labour charges are much more expensive.
