I was a little naughty, in that to maximise my chances, I put in 2 orders (it was more by accident, rather than deliberate - and will probably cancel this one), and just go with my local dealer (who I also have an order with - which includes full paperwork, which gives me a bit more confidence) - I'm in no major hurry in anycase, as my solar EON system/batteries for the home arrive next week (hopefully after 1 cancelation already), and EDF goenergy "fixed" tarrif (still has issues with the SMART meter) - the Ohme charger is fitted.
The other reason why I'm holding back is incase Liz Truss reduces VAT accross the board (like we had in 2008/09, when we bought our last car aka VW Tiguan 170 - which has been perfect for the last 14 years. )
Anyway please comment on this (I only want the standard model - which i understand has the more resilient LFP (LiFePO4?) batteries )
As you may have seen in various forums, the first batch of the initial 2000 MG 4’s to be delivered in 2022 has now been sent to dealers as initial launch stock to ensure every dealer has the opportunity to showcase the new car. Every dealer must keep 2 cars unsold, 1 for the showroom and 1 for demonstration purposes.
The size of each dealer’s allocation is relative to target/previous volumes, and being MGs largest dealer, we have had the UK’s largest allocation of 15 cars for September. Unfortunately, the mix of these 15 cars doesn’t wholly reflect the order take to date as 10 of the 13 cars we have available to fulfil customer orders are Standard Range SE’s.
This afternoon MG have formally launched the finance packages for the MG 4 which means that we can solidify a price/deal for all pre-orders. I’m pleased to report the finance package is very attractive so would urge everyone looking to purchase the MG 4 this way to contact us with details of their deposit, preferred mileage and term and we can present to you the monthly payments.
For all but 3 of the Long Range orders, whilst frustrating, the next batch is following in late October/early November. We don’t yet know what the mix of this batch will be, and how much larger it is than the first. MG haven’t finalised how the next batch will be allocated. Either way, you are well placed as we have both the earliest order numbers and the highest order bank, so whether it’s first come first served, or on allocation based on volume, we'll be getting a large number.
As this is a whole new car on a whole new platform, while the cars are now in the UK, MG are distributing these to the dealers in the 3rd week of September to coincide with a dealer staff training event, which is also when demonstrators will be available. We will also send out an in-depth video tour of the car when our first one arrives to everyone receiving this email.
If you have any questions in the mean time, please feel free to ask me personally. Alternatively, let me know if you’re looking for some finance figures and a member of the sales team will provide some personalised quotations.
Kind regards
. Hope you get yours too and good luck to everyone else. Sounds like Orange trophy very much top pick so depends on the split of colours in the first batch i suppose.
