If I was in the market for a large new car I would have a look at the £8999 S model with a few conditions.
First, there would have to be a convenient dealer, no point buying cheap it its a day off work etc just to get a small job sorted. Our nearest dealer is 16 miles away which applies to most makes.
Second, it would have to drive, ride etc OK, no point buying cheap if its an uncomfortable noisy dog. Test drive needed.
Third, they are petrols and thirsty ones at that. Consider fuel costs. OK for me,do 7000 miles a year.
Depreciation would not bother me particularly at that price. Even a nearly new supermarket Mondeo will loose £10,000 over 5 years, the MG would loose less than that if you gave it away after 5 years.
Trouble is would I want to be a test pilot for an unknown brand, not sure about that.
