When's the next MG5 delivery?!!

[BugEyed]

If an MG5 is this good, what must an expensive electric car be like?!

Probably just the same ....

Or worse if BMW and Tesla are anything to go by.....

Just past Portbury on the M5 in my truck and there was 2 large RORo ships in and all the car parks were rammed

With MGs?

With MGs?

Bit hard to see when I’m heading southbound on the M5 at 55mph on the opposite side of the Avonmouth bridge

Just heard from my EV partner that they're trickling in and I SHOULD expect my Black LR Excite by the end of the month...

My 5 is due with the dealership on Tuesday.

I hate to tell you all… but I waited about 3 weeks from ordering to get to this point. Found a cancelled order quite easily.

I’ve got an October delivery date, but I was informed this week the price has increased by £3000 since placing my order in March.

 

[smokie]

Presume you aren't being asked to pay the extra? Or did you not put a deposit down?

 

[m0ffy]

That’s the price increase to me on a four year lease. It’s a company car and the list price hasn’t changed since I placed the order. Unsurprisingly, I’m not exactly impressed.

 

[BugEyed]

Understandably so. Who is the lease company?

 

[m0ffy]

Leaseplan. They’ve always had their issues, but this is the first time I’ve known them change the price.

tilsun leasing are using cms Kidderminster went to there pdi centre to pick Wife's corsa up last week and there was around 50 mg5's all plated up ready to go so looks like a delivery is due very soon

That's shocking!

 

[smokie]

That's about the amount mine has gone up since I bought it, despite being 2nd hand...

 

[BugEyed]

Leaseplan. They’ve always had their issues, but this is the first time I’ve known them change the price.

Utterly unfair, and a company not to do business with under any terms. I can't understand how they can expect you to pay more when the prices are still the same. Can you cancel and order again?

Well a very though pill to swallow here in the Netherlands with dealer MG van Mossel and our MG5 LR facelift. We have ordered the car in May and this is what was promised:

in May --> delivery September (I was happy and signed also because of this)
in June --> delivery end of October (I felt some inconvenience)
in July --> sir before the end of the year probably (I had a feeling of dissatisfaction)
in Augustus --> Sir probably not even this year anymore maybe beginning next year April (I feel cheated on)

It is a worrying situation since I have to be the one contacting the dealer and ask what is going on and there is no real outlook on a delivery. I hope the dealership at least is starting to feel some urgency since we ordered the car based upon what was promised to us in May. But hey I might get lucky and I will stay persistent to give them a call once a month.

So there's depressingly poor customer service all over the world then!!

It is worth waiting for though

I can tell you, the service at Tesla is a LOOOOT better, at least in the Netherlands. I hope this experience will change over time.
