Pricing to be believed?

[Zoomy]

Most dealers won't jump the gun on what they been told to do by MG. I doubt Chorley will, especially after the mix-up on the MG5LR podcast.

Bristol quote OTR price for new model and cash price for old model. Maybe cash price for new model is OTR price less grant. As said £33,995 would put Trophy above grant ceiling if that is OTR price before grant. Only a few days to wait until we get the final answer.

Who knows. Cash price may be different to PCP price or financed price. Even the 0 percent finance options are 500 quid dearer than the cash price.

There’s an awful lot of guessing & speculation going on here guys ?

Isn't that just part of the rich tapestry of life?!

Yeah - It goes a bit like the old magic theatre trick !.
"Think of a number between 1 & 35,000 grand, add 50 - then take away 50 and ......... so on !.
I think we all know the rest on the riddle works .
A bit of smoke and mirrors and together with introduction price incentives ( e.g - like the £750 voucher if you test drive a car ) then FINALLY we will arrive at a TRUE on the road price on the 1st Nov.
IF you are a cash buyer, the "Price To Change" is the all important factor I guess.
Residuals are strong at the moment, so that MAY easy the size of the jump.
Remembering that the ZS EV is barely two years old and many folks who decided to go down the PCP route, the plan was over a two / three or even four year time scale.
Considering upgrading to the new face lift model prematurely, will mean that the original balance on the original PCP balance, will need to be consolidated into a new plan.
This is going to increase the payments per month significantly.
Cash buyers where probably planning on keeping the car for around three years, or more.
So upgrading early, has to be at a price point that will tempt original owners to consider it.
The dealers will have NO problem selling on the trade in cars, due to the big shortage of EV's right now.
It will bring the used ZS EV into a price bracket that some potentially new and interested EV buyers can achieve.
It needs to be an offer that current ZS EV owners can NOT refuse.
Otherwise, current owners will just hang on to there cars and watch the value continue to rise as the shortage / demand for EV's increases.
Unless you are absolutely DESPERATE to change, then I think a "Slowly, slowly" approach is the best way forward.
Speaking purely for myself here folks, I can't not see this EV shortage situation getting any better, any time soon.
VW are building cars from one shift presently and Audi are shipping cars to customers with only one key is my understanding.

VW told me yesterday that it’s a 14 week lead time, for a new ID3.

I'm waiting on a 2022 MG5 LR updated version, which I hope will be announced on the 22nd Nov. That said, I would probably consider a current model if the deal was UNREAL from a dealer trying to rid old stock, which I don't reckon there's much of. I'm eligible for the key worker/Affinity (I think) deal, so hope to be able to haggle enough of a deal to make me get one sooner rather than later. I just chopped in a BMW X1 for £500 over book price so am currently plodding round in a 2006 Toyota Avensis that cost me £1500! I hope to chop that in for more as well!

VW told me yesterday that it’s a 14 week lead time, for a new ID3.

But remember that VW built a HUGE amount of ID3's and stored them BEFORE the release date.
The idea was that as soon as the cars where ordered, they could be shipped.
Preventing the long lead time waits for EV's.
Of course they have now been impacted by the chip shortage and the build rate has been reduced to deal with the problem.
MG however have continued to build cars at the same rate.

I think that’s a little optimistic- it’s more like 40 weeks at the moment. I ordered an Enyaq in June, should have been delivered October but now it’s anybodies guess. It’s the same for the Id.3 - plus they have all kinds of software issues at the moment, plus tens of thousands of part built vehicles awaiting semiconductor components….

 

[ady]

That what the dealer said, it doesn’t matter anywa, I’m gonna wait for a new MG ZS EV. ?

I agree! I’m actually tempted to cancel my Enyaq order if the lease prices of the improved ZS EV are favourable. Plus MG don’t seem to beset with the same issues and manufacturing delays

 

[ady]

Your Enyaq has been on order a long time, I would have been pulling my hair out, if I had any. ?

??? Don’t worry, that makes 2 of us! VAG are in complete disarray at the moment, and haven’t been at all honest with their customers re the manufacturing issues….. I guess MG being Chinese owned has made better commercial decisions?I

 

[marcopolomt]

if those figures are pre-grant then they are pretty decent, especially if available with 0% finance.

I don't really need the range but do want the trimmings. I don't want to wait for later next year for a shorter-range version. We have already been waiting since July for the HS PHEV which we will now cancel for this. Tesla have also offered me over £18k for my leaf so have options.

I think the same, I don’t want the range, but also don’t want to wait forever.

No pricing announced yet. The pricing shown by Bristol Street doesn't make sense to me - £33,995 would have to be before the grant I guess?

Thanks @MilesperkWh
As soon as you know the prices (on 1st November), could you put a post on here for us all to know it officially please?
If you know the Affinity prices too, that would be great to know - I'll be on the phone to you straight away if the affinity price is right to get mine!

 

[thatsnotmynaim]

Yes I'm also very keen to understand pricing as want to sort a car out for my wife ASAP/like last month with a hope of it arriving by the end of the year / very early 22, but waiting to see pricing as if the MG PCP with NHS Affinity is keen it'll be in the mix but if not we'll have to go with other options. Easy descision for us to make, it'll be based purely on pricing now it has the right features ticked.

I have just had a conversation with a MG dealer, he said, he had got some information from MG, he also said he went to a Preview of the new MG ZS EV.
He believes, the price of the Trophy LR Connect will be £33,995 before the Government grant making the Trophy £31,495.00, but he says , he like everyone else will know on Monday. He also says there are 5 colours, Blue, Red, White, Black, and Gray.
