Dubai'de Satılık 6 İkinci El Mercedes-Benz A45

A used Mercedes A45 is a five door hatchback the size of a Golf with a hand built AMG engine under the bonnet. It arrived in the Gulf in 2013 as the A 45 AMG, became the A45 S in 2020 with a new body and a new engine, and the two cars share a badge and very little else. The used Mercedes A45 Dubai listings mix both, alongside a fair number of Japanese spec imports, so the first job is to work out which car is in the photographs.

The A45s listed on OneClickDrive run from early cars with the Edition 1 pack to A45 S cars barely out of the showroom, and a second hand Mercedes A45 from either era has usually been driven hard. What follows sorts the generations, the S question, the tuning question that hangs over this model more than any other Mercedes, and the checks that decide whether a Mercedes A45 for sale is the right one.

Mercedes A45 price in Dubai and UAE: what the year and the letter decide

The Mercedes A 45 AMG price in Dubai splits on generation before anything else. The 2014 to 2018 W176 cars sit at the bottom, with the 381 horsepower facelift cars a step above the earliest ones and an Edition 1 with the pack intact a little above those. The 2020 onwards A45 S sits well above, and a 2023 facelift car sits near what the agency asks for a new one.

Inside each band the Mercedes A45 AMG price UAE buyers see moves on origin, distance and modification. A GCC car with its book asks more than a Japanese spec import of the same year, and a car that has been tuned and returned to standard is priced as a question mark. The figure under the heading above is refreshed from the live listings each week. A Mercedes A45 S AMG price in UAE terms is a different conversation from a W176 price, so compare within one generation.

W176 or W177: which used Mercedes Benz A45 you are looking at

The first car, chassis code W176, was sold from the 2014 model year to 2018. It carries the M133 engine, a 2.0 litre turbo four rated at 360 horsepower at launch and 381 from the 2016 facelift, driving all four wheels through a seven speed dual clutch gearbox. The facelift brought the wider grille and better dampers, and the Edition 1 was the launch package with the aero kit, red details and the sports seats. It is a firm, loud, old fashioned hot hatch, which is why people like it.

The second car, W177, went on sale here in 2020 and only as the A45 S. The M139 engine is new from the block up, rated at 421 horsepower, still 2.0 litres and still hand built, with an eight speed dual clutch and a rear axle that can send all of its torque to one wheel. The cabin is the wide screen MBUX layout, the ride is far more civilised in its softest setting, and a 2023 update changed the screens and the grille. Everything listed here from 2020 on is an S, whatever the seller typed in the title.

A45, A45 S and Edition 1: what the badges actually mean

Edition 1 marks a launch car with the styling pack and the sports seats, worth a little more when the pack is complete.

• On any A45 AMG for sale listing from the first car the year tells you more than the badge, because the 381 horsepower facelift kept the same one. On the second car the letter matters.
• A non S A45 exists in Europe with less power and a seven speed gearbox, and it was not the car the Gulf agency stocked, so a plain 2021 A45 listing here is either a Japanese import or a seller who dropped the letter.
• Check the boot badge and the registration card.
• The same engine sits in the CLA 45 four door coupe, and the A35 is the milder 306 horsepower car on the same body, usually the sensible alternative when A45 S money is too much.

Living with an A45 in Dubai

It is a daily car in a way a two seat sports car never is. Five doors, a boot that takes the weekly shop, back seats that carry two adults to Abu Dhabi, and a footprint that parks in a Marina bay at the first attempt. The W177 in Comfort mode is quiet enough for the school run, the W176 never quite settles.

The tyres are wide and wear fast on the rear, the brakes are large and not cheap, and the engine wants premium fuel and its oil on time. Insurance is priced as a performance car on a young driver's licence, so get the quote before the price is agreed, and expect an agreed value policy on an AMG A45 S.

Running costs, tuning and resale on a Mercedes A45 second hand

Servicing runs through the agency or the German specialists in Al Quoz. Neither engine has a reputation for failing when it is looked after. What they have is a reputation for being tuned, because a software flash on either car adds real power for very little money, and a large share of the used Mercedes A45 UAE stock has run one at some point.

That is the whole risk on the Mercedes A45 used Dubai market. A tune stresses the clutches, the pistons and the turbo beyond what the warranty covers, and it can be removed before the sale so it leaves no visible trace. Ask the seller directly and have a Mercedes workshop read the engine control unit for a flash counter before any money moves. A tuned car with a full record and the standard file restored is buyable. A car with no history and a quiet answer is not.

Resale is strong on the A45 S and steady on the W176, because the buyer pool is young and impatient. A second hand Mercedes Benz A45 with the agency book, standard software and matching tyres sells in days. Aftermarket wheels, a loud exhaust and an import with paperwork gaps take weeks and take money off.

Why buy a used car Mercedes A45 through OneClickDrive

Every used car Mercedes Benz A45 listed here shows the generation, year, badge, distance covered, GCC or import, and photographs of the actual car, with the seller named, dealer or private seller. Your message goes straight to them, so whether it has been tuned and where it came from get answered by the person who knows.

OneClickDrive charges no commission on either side, so the price on the listing is the seller's own figure with nothing added. Where a car carries an inspection report or any warranty, factory or a dealer's own package, the listing says so. When the A45 goes on to its next owner, a private seller lists it here for free and pays nothing on the sale, and dealers are on a plan rather than paying per car.

Where to find an A45 for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

The stock comes from three directions. Private owners with a GCC car, often the second owner of a W176 or the first of an A45 S, and those files are the ones to open first. Performance showrooms, which hold most of the A45 S cars and usually the ones with a warranty package attached. And the importers, who bring Japanese spec cars in numbers, without which the used A45 for sale UAE wide would be thin.

The used Mercedes A45 for sale in Dubai listings mix all three, so read the used A45 for sale in Dubai results with origin in the first column, and treat the Mercedes Benz A45 used Dubai stock as one list whoever is selling. A Mercedes Benz A45 for sale Dubai search catches most of it, the used Mercedes A45 for sale in UAE listings widen the net to Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, and a used A45 for sale in UAE alert does the waiting.

The cars people cross shop with it: the Audi RS3 with its five cylinder engine, the Golf R for far less money, and the BMW M2 for two doors and rear drive. The A Class listings hold the ordinary hatchbacks, and the Mercedes Benz hub has the rest.

GCC or Japanese spec: reading the origin on an A45 listing

Japanese imports make up a real share of the used Mercedes Benz A45 Dubai listings and they are not a problem in themselves. Japan grades every car sold at auction, so a Japanese spec A45 usually comes with a sheet that scores the paint, panels and interior, and the mileages tend to be low. The questions are the cooling, the radio bands, and the customs card proving the duty was paid.

A GCC car has the cooling specified for August, a history the agency can print, and the factory warranty still transferable on a young A45 S, and it costs more for the same year. On either car call your insurer before you agree a price, because some price an import higher and a few will not cover a non GCC performance car at all.

What to check on a used A45 before you pay

Three things before the test drive.

• The engine control unit read, which settles the tune.
• The dual clutch, so from cold pull away gently and feel for a shudder, then drive it warm and listen for a clunk on the downshift, because a gearbox that jerks at walking pace points at the clutches or the mechatronic unit and neither is cheap. Then the body.
• Open the bonnet and look for the plate on the engine cover, because every AMG engine carries the name of the person who built it and a car without the plate has had engine work.
• Look at the front lip for speed bump scrapes, at the wheels for kerb damage, and along the doors for the mismatched paint of a car park repair. Finally the file.
• The chassis number gives you a history report for accident repair and finance still registered, and the service book against the odometer tells you whether the reading is honest.
• Where the listing shows no inspection report, book one at an RTA testing centre or a Mercedes specialist before a deposit moves, with the software state and the clutch health written into it.

Finance, EMI and buying an A45 with no down payment

An A45 S is young enough for any bank, and a later W176 still clears the age limit most apply at the end of the term. The estimated EMI under each listing lets you compare a 2017 car against a 2021 A45 S in one glance. A down payment is normally required. A no down payment arrangement turns up on some cars for some buyers, nearly always through a showroom's own bank.

Emirates NBD (ENBD) car loan pre-approval is available through OneClickDrive within 24 hours for buyers who meet the bank's eligibility criteria, on the selected cars whose listing carries the mark. Where the owner still owes their bank, that bank issues a liability letter and then a clearance certificate before the transfer.

Paperwork to put a Mercedes A45 in your name

The transfer runs through an RTA centre or one of its registration partners, and the counter wants the seller's Mulkiya, an Emirates ID from each of you, an insurance policy already in your name, the fines on the plate cleared, and a passed technical inspection if the car is due one.

• A showroom does all of this as part of the sale.
• On an import the customs card is the document that cannot be missing, and on a Japanese car the auction sheet is worth keeping with it.
• Keep every invoice and the workshop's software read with the car, because a Mercedes Benz A45 second hand buyer asks exactly the questions you did.
