If I was waiting for SR delivery since January and seen all the stock orders and dealers currently offering SR in stock (just looked on Autotrader - brand new under £30K), I would have cancelled my order by now. It is disgraceful how Bodgerx has been treated by his dealer and MG UK.
Autotrader has been shown to be misleading “in stock” actually means new orders… and I believe the order book is still closed but rumoured to reopen in Jul with price hike. Looking at that dealers own website, the only in-stock models are ICE.
A lot of offers on Autotrader are to secure cars on order - Autotrader currently shows 106 offers on ZS EV’s. This advert actually states “In Stock” Chorley group had 60 SR stock cars given to them a few weeks ago - look at previous posts.
Although this one may well be, not every car on AT is actually available. It's been proven here so many times that "In Stock" doesn't actually mean they have the car. People are taking every single ad as good, rather than picking up the phone and checking which ones are kosher.
All mg o/n's begin with 30000.
How come Chorley can always get hold of new mg's (Sr or lr) whenever they want when people have been waiting 7 or 8 months. Obviously there is some serious brown nosing going on!!!!
Checkout their reviews, there is a lot of very dissatisfied customers
I put in a request with their sales team who have just called me back. They don't have any stock of Zs evs and don't know when they will be getting any. Quoted six months lead time on a new order. The last ZS EVs they had were sr. They said they are in the same situation as every other dealership.
Hello everyone.
There doesn't have to be anything nefarious to it, it may well be they were offered based on their size and sales history - not every dealer can sell 60+ cars in a matter of days. And as someone suggested, maybe some dealers have it in their agreement that MG supply them a minimum number of cars, but that's speculation.
. Chorley, Luscombe's or whomever was given the chance, quite rightly took what was offered and got some income. I certainly wouldn't have said no...my only thought would've been to protect my business & pay my overheads. Someone at MG would have to explain why they didn't use these vehicles to clear waiting SR orders.Agree - also understand that the minimum number of cars works both ways. A few years ago the stock levels were not a problem and the dealers were getting cars delivered according to the agreed monthly supply and were having to hold stock whilst struggling to sell.There doesn't have to be anything nefarious to it, it may well be they were offered based on their size and sales history - not every dealer can sell 60+ cars in a matter of days.

Chorley are also a lot more switched on than many dealers I've spoken to that don't even have the initiative to chase their MG contact without being prompted
Hi, Your post has surprised me. We wanted to order the LR ZS EV when it was released in November. Our existing car was 3 years old and we had been told to order a replacement.
Trust me, you won't miss it for long.
