MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

losing patience now, so good luck hope you are right and I'm wrong despite it happening to me. When you sell it will make a difference even if its only one day Its a perception thing for most buyers same plate but different year of registration.
 
over here in Ireland , the year of registration is on the number plate , been this way since 1987 though they changed it in 2013 to a biannual registration so take this year , cars purchased since January have 221 on the plate but after July 1st , Cars will have 222 on the plate

next year it will be 231 for the first six months and 232 for the second half of next year

" different strokes " as they say

My dealer are actively putting people off from registering this week or next unless they're absoloutley desperate, as you say it's perception and by the book a 71 plate is valued for anything that was registered 1st September through to 28th Feb and will have a lower value than a 22 plate car. Your warning should be heeded, some dealers are just not as 'customer first' oriented.

I think you mean 71
 
The benefit of the edit button! - I blame being tired and thinking it's Friday.

On every new car I have got it has got registered on time of pick up and get a choice of reg well the last 3 letters anyway as its registered to you unless you have agreed to buy a pre registered car then your technically the 2nd owner?

I have purchased about five pre-registered by the dealer, cars over the years and found them to be good value for money.
It has made very little difference to the selling price at a later date.
Dealers SHOULD register the car on the day of collection, after the payment has usually been done in advance of the collection day.
Unlikely that a dealer will register the car prior, just in case there is a last minute hitch with the payment, then effectively they have a 1 owner car to sell on at a discounted rate.

Just paid deposit for mine. Told they have a black and red on way expected in a couple of weeks so gone red. They know I'm not fussed if a delay but I do see they have put a delivery date of June on my paperwork and same mg dealer has put same car red on auto trader for Feb/march delivery. I guess possibly if they get a buyer for immediate car I may be postponed.

Always wondered why can't they just register vehicles according to calendar year? Say 1st of Jan to 31st Dec. 21, 22, 23 etc. no 5, 6, 7, 8 September onward...

They used to initially, but because it was new years day, a bank holiday, it was difficult to get cars ready and paid for.
 
It was also causing a bulk of cars to be purchased on a yearly schedule when the new reg launched. The 6 monthly schedule gives them 2 smaller peaks.
 
Just had an email re our delivery it has been pushed back until the 15/05/22 from last months update of the 8/05/22 and originally was March. Silver trophy LR 😔
