MG ZS EV Facelift - Have you ordered?

marcopolomt said:
I'm curious myself here. I'm coming from a 40kw n-connecta leaf so quite a well-equipped car. I was quite frustrated at other options for regular manufacturers, and even considered a longer range leaf or just keeping the existing car. Tesla ended up being the only other option outside of MG but it would cost 3 grand to put the Mrs on the insurance.

the old zs ev was too limited for our needs but the only things missing that I would like to have on the new one are a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, electric seats with a memory function, electric tailgate, and rear tinted windows. the only major one of those for me is the heated wheel, but it's not a deal-breaker now we can remotely heat the car.

Agree with all of your observations
 
I'm looking for a bit of advice folks regarding one of our trade ins (we have ordered a car each).

When I initially test drove the car, we were given a valuation for Car A (with a good bit of equity). When I returned with my wife the following month so she could test drive it, we had our other car valued, with the salesman drawing attention to an issue with the plastic bumper. We were given a joint offer and agreed. Both finance docs signed and cars were ordered.

However, the first car I took along has a dent near the rear arch and a scrape along the side across two panels (it's not huge but you should be able to see it), but the salesman made no mention of this when offering me the - rather good - valuation. I'm now paranoid he's not seen these.

My question is, where do I stand in terms of if the dealership at the point of handover get funny? We have photographic proof the dent/scrape was there months prior to us getting it valued. Is that enough for us to be in the right, or should I look to getting it fixed out of paranoia? After waiting about six months for the car I don't want the deals to fall through..
 
I also had similar issue. I mentioned the small dent on the tailgate he did not even got to look at it until I insisted. He was not worried about it. But I forgot to mention the cracked rear light I hope don’t notice it on change over otherwise I might have to cough up £150 🙏😥😥😥😥.

Be honest with your dealer. You'll probably find that they will be able to get it fixed in house cheaper than you'd pay to get it fixed yourself.
Ultimately, if anything happens in terms of cosmetic or mechanical condition between the valuation and the handover date, you'd expect the dealer and the customer to come to an agreement with regards to the value. After all, if your car's clutch or brakes start to fail after the valuation has been given, it's not fair to expect the dealer to stand on that same price 6 months later.
At the same time, your dealer won't want to lose a deal for the sake of a £50 smart repair, so they'll likely be fair with how they value your car.

thank you for this. What happens in this case when the dent was done prior to them looking at it, and not after?

Small scratches and dents don't usually matter to dealers, if they don't have their own body shop they usually have a contract with a local dent and chip company that charge them a pittance due to the volumes of work.
