Still not got my red MG4 Trophy

[OJEastwood]

Yes, and petrol SUVs have gone up, our Karoq rose £800 in value over 5 months. It is the strange market we are in at the moment, sadly, used car prices are not behaving in the usual pattern.

It is bonkers. We'll get something sorted, I'm sure. We're happy to stick with Mazda for now. It's a great car to drive, if it only it had a slightly larger range

That's really annoying and when I went on a rant weeks ago about MG being liars and me personally not giving more time to any dealer that extends or cancels my delivery time by more than 4 weeks from advised, this is what I was meaning.

People plan their lives around information given and yes I know things could change, especially with lead times but when a company parrots the fact that it has cars on ground available to be delivered within weeks as a sales tactic, to all who care to listen and consistently deliver in months rather than weeks then what conclusion is there to draw apart from they are not truthful and best to steer clear of such types, if you can. Obviously not an option with a lot of people as MG4 is the only option for them but I abhor liars.

Exactly. If the car had been delivered within the timeframe that was originally stated (Early January) it wouldn’t have been an issue but these things happen. The dealer said they might be in touch today as there could be some offers for the new month so fingers crossed for that!

Karoq = Ateca.

Skoda and seat versions of the Tiguan. So this follows my experience with the Ateca.

However prices quoted online are not always realistic. WBAC will knock you down for minor issues. Motorway ive had mixed experience- with the Ateca they decided to put it up for bidding on a Sunday and it got a really poor offer 1500 less than their estimate! On the other hand my Toyota beat WBAC by 1800 on mway

Great news OJ, what model are you getting?

Are you still with Gallaghers Sandycroft ?
I have had an Orange Trophy on order with them since mid November, still no word on delivery.

Yes, well remembered! We popped down a couple of times to get some updates. I'm sure I remember reading that they (they meaning MG) were struggling to keep up with the demand for the Orange Trophy as it's proven to be a popular colour choice, so you my have quite a wait. It may well be worth going down there, if you're able to, and see what they say. You never know, they might tell you it's at the port awaiting transportation to the dealer
