July S5 deals

[edd10]

What is MG’s rationale for these massive discounts on the S5? £24,000 for the Trophy LR is bonkers. It’s receiving mostly positive reviews, but it really damages the model’s used values.

I picked up our Trophy in White for £23,995 with 6 miles on the clock pre-registered. Some great deals out there!

They are all made up numbers.

The sticker price is one thing.

Probably no one (even at SAIC) knows how much they really cost to make because of all the complexities of the Chinese government-subsidised economy.

What it does mean is that there are great deals out there for those who can pay in cash, as PatelDJP says.

It's only damaging used values.
For those, unfortunate enough to have paid. Anymore than £24,000 or whatever the deal is at the time.
Unfortunately happens all the time, not just MG. You buys your motor. Couple of months later, it's thousands cheaper.
Same thing happened with the X Power, now look, what you can get them for.

Yep, great deals out there. Autotrader shows a bunch of £7,000 off new deals for brand new cars.

I am more than happy for the Chinese government to subsidise my car purchase. I've been subsidising them for decades buying chicken fried rice at midnight on a Saturday
