I bought a Mokka-e in 2021 for cash. Then a year later the MG4 launched. Loved the design but I also liked the Mokka-e. Fast forward 4 years and I was now ready to change. Having lost 75% in depreciation, I was looking to lease.
I wanted more range but it had to be short enough to fit in my garage. Which is where I have my EVSE. MG offers most range , lowest cost and compact enough dimensions, room for the dog and a satisfying drive.
Then my company launched an EV salary sacrifice scheme. I'd been thinking about the MG4 all this time. Took a test drive a few months earlier etc. Now it was do-able.
One phone call later and it was all set. A month or so later it was delivered to my door.
So I get four years ownership. No taxes, no costs at all. Everything included. Great I retire in four years and a month or two. Perfect. I'll buy a car when I retire.
Then a shock. I've done 19 years working for my company. Some outsourcing was proposed and I was being separated in Jul26. Well things change and its now going to be Jul27. Which tbh is now voluntary as I'll just retire 30months early. I hadn't considered it until they brought it up. So the MG4 will be going back then as the provider doesn't let you buy the car.
However I'm really happy with the MG4 so I'll be buying a used one myself in Jul27. So a bit of a convoluted journey but its not just how you get there, it's the destination isnt it.
For some strange reason I'm still here and haven't been banned from having never owned an MG in my life. The closest I came to an MG was rear ending a Midget on my bicycle when I was about 10
