Added plus, if owning an EV, using their Super Charger network. Free instant coffee, (sometimes a coffee machine), water, clean toilets and sugar fill snacks in waiting room, while charging and using free internet. #1 reason, it bugs the hell out of @transam ???? ????........Bug's the hell out of me......???? As you well know, the only thing that bug's me about MG is it is not an MG in the true sense, it is a Chinese ride with the bought smoke screen of "Since 1924 performance", their pick-up says it all. But as you are not from the UK you may not understand, or you just bought a cheap ride with no interest in MG history, which I reckon you don't, as your family couldn't even keep a basic engineering MGB on the road, at a time when the USA was its major buyer...... MG gives you free coffee, hmmm, perhaps you have never been in a main agents before, eh..................... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, I got a decent, and expected price for our 2yr old/40k kms 2020 MG, considering market, low customer base and average depreciation rate of 15%-20% per year, the first 2 years. Less depreciation as time goes on. Also during Covid, when many weren't splurging on new toys. A buyers market. Happy with the sale. Of course wouldn't have minded getting a bit more, and if located in BKK and a bit more patient, probably would have gotten 10-15% more. But wanted a quick sale.

It is better than my wife's previous Ford. They actually refused to honor the warranty. She tossed it and bought Honda. I do prefer American cars over Japanese due to comfort and generally a better ride. It's just that after service on some of these brands sucks. In totally unrelated issue, how many Farang mugs know tyat the warranty on your brand new shiny condo in Thailand is only 1 year. No wonder Japanese cars here hold better value than real estate.

And you have had this car exactly how long? .....most cars are fine during the warranty period. But 5-10 years down the track is when you will meet problems. Just be sure to sell it well before the warranty expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be bothered looking up the brands made solely in China to satisfy your carping.

Same with us, contacting Hua Hin dealer (100 kms away), before local dealer opened was care free. Wife and reps had each other's ph# on their contact list. Calling the serv. dept. to schedule oil changes no problem. Our dash cam in ICE version krapped out, out of warranty, and replaced for free. ???? Local, same excellent service, prompt oil changes, schedule & service performed on time. Always ask if we want it washed, when done. As stated prior, EV check up @ 10k was done before I finished my coffee ???? Toyota, & Mitsubishi @ Udon Thani, and Mazda @ UT & Hua Hin, were always make an appointment, drop off, and 'we'll get to it as soon as we can'. Hours later, come pick it up. All 4, excellent service, only difference, MG very timely. All honest, estimates & cost the same when done. Always a ph call, if anything found before servicing. N/A to MG, as low kms and no surprises. Mazda @ Pranburi ... may want to not use, as didn't experience good service there. Daughter does not speak highly of Mazda @ Pathum Than/hwy 3214.

What MG did you drive (MG3) and what year. Looked at MG3 back in 2012 ish, and went with the Mazda 2 instead. That's actually how we got the 2020 MG ZS, as popped into MG, to check out any upgrading of the MG3. Just a wee bit, but while there, peeked at the ZS (ignorant of), took if for a short test ride, bit of research, returned & bought it. Gave the M2 to daughter.
