Removal of affinity

[Hind]

Hi so I have spoken to my dealer today and they are now saying that I have to pay an extra £5,000 due to the removal of the affinity scheme. Has anyone else had this issue? I ordered the car on the 20th January 2022 and agreed the discount at the time, is it just my dealer or have others been told the same?

I assume this should read car ordered 20th Jan 2022 surely ?‍ .

Yes sorry 20th January 2022. Has anyone else been told that Mg won’t honour this agreed affinity discount?

I ordered 21st Jan 2022 and picked up 15th Sept and they honoured the affinity scheme. I would contact MG for advice

Nope. Mine's still applicable. If your quote from back in Jan 2022 shows the discount as applied then that should be that, surely.... Not an expert in these matters but isn't that called a "contract"?

I ordered in March and have yet to pick up, but dealer have confirmed pricing is the same despite the delays

Previous reports by dealers of MG cancelling orders have been untrue. It mostly boils down to the dealer having delayed or forgotten to place the order with the manufacturer. I would ask your dealer for the 10 digit order number and then take the matter up with MG.
Good luck!

I ordered mine on 7 Jan 2022. Just taken delivery on Monday (31 Oct) Affintiy was still honoured.
Although the discount I received was £2100 not the £5000 you stated. I did also get the Government grant of £1500 though.
