X-Power for £33,788

[Alb]

Just noticed that X-Power is available on Affinity. That's an incredible price for what you get.
77kWh battery version also available at the same price.

Ugh, order already placed. I’m guessing that would mean getting back in the queue for one too.

 

[TechNick]

Price seems very volatile. Got a quote for £33,788, earlier today, then checked back in, a couple hours later, and that same quote had gone up to £34,510

Took a screenshot when I first saw it in case it changed:

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Dumb question - what's Affinity? I've seen it mentioned on here a few times...

 

[Alb]

It's a discount scheme applicable to certain employees in the public sector but also covers members of a couple of MG clubs so pretty much anyone can get it one way or the other.

As @Alb says, It's MG's employee discount scheme which, like most auto manufacturers, they've extended to certain other groups like armed forces & emergency service workers, etc, etc.

Like Costco membership, there's a way in for everybody. The simplest is to pay £50 to join the MG Owner's Club.

Blue Badge holders and educators are first in line aren't they?

Blue badge holders would go through the usual Motability scheme.
As for educators, perhaps they're counted as "local government"?
Here's a screengrab of qualifying organisations:-

I have no clue why the last 3 groups qualify. Do MG supply cars to the players, perhaps?

Thanks all. Will be joining police staff at the end of the month, so hopefully that offer will still be on and I'll qualify. Could be persuaded at this price!

An MG4 was used in a road trip by Wales fans in the Road to Qatar for the last (men's) World Cup. Maybe that's why?

Does it include ex armed forces??

I have no idea if veterans are included. They may want to see a current military ID card.
However, it does include anybody willing to give either the MG Owner's Club or MG Car Club £50.

I very strongly suspect it does!

As a retired former teacher (I'd retired more than 10 years earlier than the purchase of my MG5) I was able to use the Affinity scheme.

The "proof" of my qualification for the scheme, which my dealer asked to see and which was forwarded to MG, was a recent pension statement from the Teachers Pension service.

 

[Alb]

Same for me as a retired Civil Servant.

 

[Rolfe]

My dealer went away and tried to see if I was eligible, but came back and said no, only current NHS employees. Nothing about joining the owners' club, and apparently having retired from working for a Scottish government funded animal health institute didn't count.

The current offer runs to the end of September.

Here is the website @Rolfe, MG Motors UK Affinity when you register, you have to choose an Affinity partner, both NHS and Owners Club...Armed Forces and many others are on there

maybe also worth mentioning that "all offers are subject to change" and they have already changed this one to £34,510 since last Monday.

Does being a member of this group/forum not count under MG Car Club Members ?
