Seems to be a lot of A45s hitting the used market also, makes you wonder why. Yet still a 10 month wait for a new one.

Agreed, there are heaps of A45s on the Australian market. I would take a guess that many rushed in on hype and ordered one without ever seeing one in the flesh or test-driving one prior to delivery. Some realised it doesn't suit their driving, tastes, or expectations - and then end up on the market.'
A lot of people need to remember that MB claim a 0 - 100km time of 4.6s... but that is only achievable with launch control. A stock A45 will struggle to do 5 seconds flat without it.
Around 100 kms off doing the first 2,000 (run-in) kms... then flew out to Tokyo!!! ARRGGHHHH!!!
