When I bought my car it didn't even come with a cabin air filter. I got one when I went in for my 15,000 mile service package which included it. But since I don't use the A/C anymore I probably won't replace it until the next service package or whatever my manual recommends.
I think you could have also cleaned the CAF yourself if you had access to some compressed air, which might have saved on replacement costs. (I'm going by what my repair manual suggests)
