Confused :(

Hello everyone!

This is my first post in this great forum! And i really need some help! A little background of myself: I've been following this beauty since it was a concept! I couldn't afford it for a while until recently. I live in Atlantic Canada and land on a great job!
I have been shopping around for the new CLA originally, since i thought i couldn't afford the Evoque, and I used to drive by RR every time I have to go the Benz dealership and it used to kill me! Until i decided to walk in and see the actual numbers.
To my surprise my work place has special dealing with JLR and some some deep discounts! So when i saw the numbers i was excited! And dealer decided to make my life even harder and provided me with 3 options:
1- the dealer had 2013 coupe Evoque pure premium plus with the 2 seat package at the back ( pure premium is fully loaded except for the appearance package ie. dynamic appearance). The car was originally bought by an older customer but he returned it and upgraded to a bigger SUV. There is only 6KM on the car!! The price is $50K.
2- the dealer has a brand new 2013 coupe dynamic Evoque not fully loaded but its up there. Total damage $65k. Keep in mind thats 15% off the sticker price.
3- wait for 2014 model but the dealer can't guarantee any discounts, plus they dont have any coupes allocated, so i will have to pick the 5 door version. Total damage $72k.
What shloud i do?! Your input is greatly appreciated

What are the colours in #1 & #2?

Try working the dealer harder on #2 as 2014MY is now being built so 2013 is old stock and will get harder and harder for him to shift, of course check if the options on it are sensible and ones you would want.

Personally I'd go for the MY14 if It was within my budget as I think residuals for the previous model years will start to tumble even more.

If you can get 15/20% off I would take an my13 the differences are not worth that much, so better to have the saving and looks wise no one will be able to tell.

1- is silver with grey interior. I really like it and i dont have any kids to worry about

2- is black on black - which i am really not a big fan!
I like crazy colours on the Evoque and my favourite is red with black top or the light blue with white top. Thats my dream with light interior so two tone white n black or maybe red and black.

Which option are you talking about 1 or 2 they are both 2013! One has 6k on it for $50 pure premium coupe.

and the other one is brand new for $65 dynamic but has the 19' wheel and no dynamic drive and no active parking assist (thats there cost cant go any lower)

I guess the question is, is it worth the extra $15k for a zero kilometer car and i know once i drive it off it will drop that much. I know its the dynamic but i am getting the same option with the pure premium :s so am not missing much.

Major differences of 2013-2014MY's are designed to try and increase fuel efficiency so if you go for the 2.0ltr Petrol it will have smart disengaging of the rear drive above 22mpg and re-engaging in milliseconds and it will get the new 9 speed ZF auto instead of 2013's 6 speeder. On the diesel version the difference is the 9 speed gearbox only. There are options and trim changes but nothing that is visible on the outside save removal of some trim around the rear windows to smooth the finish.

and the mirror changes, right?

yes mirror design is slightly changed but you need to look hard to notice it

#1 it is then.
