MG6 - Minimum £3k or 15,000 miles free fuel

Canonite · 4th September 2012, 21:44

As per an email I just received they are now offering all models of MG6 with a minimum £3,000 part exchange for your old car or 15,000 miles worth of free fuel.

Due to my extremely poor dealings with MG in Bradford I can understand why nobody is buying them. When I was going to test drive the GT TSE they were offering £2,000 against your old MG, only three months later they're offering an extra £1,000....against anything !!!

Desperate. Yes.
But do they care? No.

You may want to work out what these cars cost in China, to see the margin that the importers have in them!

Hmmm spend 18k on a car that will be worth £5000 in 3 years time????

I think not.

As a recent 10,000 mile, year old GT failed to get a bid at £8,000 recently on eBay, it may be sooner than that!

The diesel that was promised in Q3 doesn't look to be anywhere close either.
Its not an ugly car, I do like it. Still think it looks like a Kia.
Maybe with a diesel variant from the start they may have been more popular in the fleet market.

I think it is OK as a car but there are lots of other OK cars at the same price, better established and with a better support network, MG need a car with more special appeal to break into the market but you have to admire them for hanging on in there until the newer models come on stream

I agree having a diesel version available from the start would of made it very popular, these Chinese my be cleaver but they seem to be lacking in common sense when it come to the European car market.

Sad fact is they are not as good as kia or hyundai co2 emissions are a joke and the general look of the interior is unexceptional. They need to launch a more up to date model and a diesel

Excuse me, but Kia and Hyundai were unexceptional jokes when they were launched here and look at them now....
Time will tell if they get a good foothold here.

which doesn't alter the fact that as a new car the current MG6 just doesn't cut the mustard the fact that kia and hyundai made rubbish isn the past isn't really relevant to the current market position. Cheap and cheerful secondhand might be a different prospec
