MG4 X-Power Orders & Delivery

[Deleted member 11291]

After reading these posts I checked my order and it has updated to with dealer for pdi as well. No reg yet or vin, I dont want it any earlier than 1st December so will see when contacted. Great news for those waiting.

Update - I was offered a delivery date of 23rd November, but fool that I’am ? I declined and asked for 1st December. Reason being EV6 doesnt go till then and I dont want both cars at the same time and have to pay two lots of insurance. I realise I may be eligible for the free insurance or could get temporary cover but didn't want to do that. Just in case there are any delays in delivery or collection.
So happy days as they say ?

I’ve not been offered a delivery date yet. Luscombe back to not replying to emails.

Annoying!

Oh dear, hopefully you will hear something soon. Fingers crossed.

It’s annoying when people who don’t have reg or VINs yet get offered delivery dates, and I don’t, so odd!

The reg did appear when I got the update yesterday for delivery on the 23rd.

I could really do with knowing when it’s coming because my old car went back Friday (values were up and down so wanted to lock in a good price - supplying dealer offered £2k+ more than anyone else) and I’m borrowing the MIL’s Aygo, but soon she’ll want it back, if mine ends up being 23rd I’ll have to hire one. And hiring one short notice is dear.

I hope you won't find the X Power too underwhelming @olliewebb ?
Especially as you've been subjected to the Aygo's monstrous power and acceleration! ?

Christ!

I'm looking forward to getting back into a car where something happens when you move your right foot.

Apparently my car is with Luscombe now - delay is with Tusker to release it.

I spoke to Tusker yesterday and they said that now that Perry's have it, they're happy for me to get it as and when. Once it was with the dealer Tusker were happy to wash their hands of it. You tried ringing?

Ringing Tusker? Yeah It's on my list of things to do today - which is about as long as one of Leonard Cohen's numbers.

UPDATE: Phoned them, they've apparently released it, so back to Luscombe now.

So jealous of both - mine is still showing on the Tusker's portal as Awaiting a Build Slot since I ordered on 3rd October.

How long did it wait for you guys before it started progressing?

Stoneacre did say last week that its still on track for them to receive in late January.

I ordered around the same date as you did. And about two weeks later the supplying dealer emailed me to confirm spec, it's been in the country around 2.5 weeks now.

I was lucky,

My car was ready within 1 week of ordering!

Fingers crossed for everyone ?

Yeah the dealer did email me on 10th October to confirm spec, but they put the incorrect date so I only confirmed it last week, so hopefully that hasnt delayed anything....the colour I ordered was the matte green one.

That's a very long time for them to wait for confirmation, I'm amazed they weren't ringing your phone off the hook. I can almost guarantee this is your delay.

Well thats a damn shame...this missed the 'k' off the end of my co.uk work email address - took them over a week and couple of chases via Tuskers (didnt know who dealer was at this point) for them to finally send it through.

I have just emailed the Fleet Manager at Stoneacre's on when they expect it to have a build slot so we will say...late January is still fine, I am just impatient

 

[olliewebb]

Stoneacre

Good luck - I have never had or even heard of someone having a good experience with them. They even butchered one of my cars during an accident repair - things epoxied back together rather than replacing parts etc. Cowboys.

Ah man, doesnt fill me with confidence - especially as this will be my first brand new car, so first proper interactions with a dealer lol

I tend to avoid them like I did with 'Dixon Motors' back in the day too.
