Gonna get slated by some but...... - XPowerForums

aldon · 23-09-2012, 18:17

I've ordered a new MG6.

White hatch (or should I say GT) TSE.

Good price for i10, £3k for old punto and sweet talked sales man for a tse for not much more than a SE.

Hopefully have it week Monday.

Looking forward to it. Plan is to keep it for several years.

Wife wants to buy a house down here (gulp!) so no more luxuries after this.

Talkingcars · 23-09-2012, 18:33

and congratulated by others - pleased you can get back into a proper car again

There is someone on zscentral who has just bought one as well, well hubby has chopped his scooby in for one.

Windy · 23-09-2012, 18:47

I think it is a very limited number that will slate you for that!!!

Enjoy the

shroonie29 · 23-09-2012, 19:08

Good news Alan.

That test drive was worth it then

Pompski · 23-09-2012, 19:29

Excellent news! I would honestly love to get one as our joint car here at home and keep the ZS to play with.

Good on ya!

The Express Valeter · 23-09-2012, 21:38

There are a few MG6 owners on the www.brit-cars.com forum, they will be chuffed.

Jerry · 23-09-2012, 23:06

Well Done.

Tracy, did you find the 'official' reviews way off too. Especially with regards to interior plastics?

Bought yours new or one of the second hand ones?

ffaf1986 · 24-09-2012, 10:48

Congratulations have been tempted myself

Yes, this is the thing - the car sold it's self to my husband. We took one out for a test drive from AppleMG last Sunday. We both really liked it and he decided to sell the Subaru privately as we'd get more for it that way. Car is on order and we should get it on Friday

We went for a new one, did you?

I have been on 2 long journeys in a friends one and was impressed with it anyway but for Dale to want one it can't be that bad!

aldon · 24-09-2012, 20:02

Yes Tracy, bought a new one.

Actually went to look at a second hand SE with 15k on the clock, but after talking to the sales rep for not many more £'s + the £3k offer we could have a new tse.

Ordered it on Sunday, says it might be possible to have it this weekend, but cant see it tbh.

Probably, email I got this morning from dealer says it was ordered with MG yesterday and will be dispatched by the end of this week. But delivery wont be until middle of next week.
Also having it A glazed. I know a lot of people say a waste of money but I had the i10 supaguarded and that has been great for the last year, water still beads off and no marks from the seagull crap.

Sneekyparrot · 25-09-2012, 19:56

Not my cuppa tea but it's got an mg badge on it so thumbs up!

P.

mattie007 · 25-09-2012, 23:50

Nice one! If the ZS has anymore problems I'll probably get a second hand one.
Great cars.

Congratulations Alan your back!!!!

Great choice of colour, dont forget to get some pics up. Got any plans to modify it?

When the Diesel comes out I may consider opting out of the company scheme for one as the petrol MPG would kill me. 32k in my current car since November last year

.

Car13 · 26-09-2012, 22:43

Your enjoy the car I am sure. Sound purchase
If keeping for 3-4 years.

No modifications Rob. (not while under warranty anyway)

Going to enjoy it as it is.

Very happy with the deal we got but the dealer was not willing to give it away.

Parsec · 26-09-2012, 23:24

Congratulations, hope you're happy with it when it arrives. Put some pictures up

Tracy · 30-09-2012, 11:50

Quick hijack.... got ours (as you know

) Look forward to seeing pics of yours

aldon · 30-09-2012, 21:10

Looking good.

Really really cant wait for ours.

How long did it take Tracy? We were initially told about 3 weeks then when we ordered he said a week which then turned into 1.5 to 2 weeks.

Not frustrated but cant wait!

higgi23 · 30-09-2012, 21:23

I can't wait for you to get it Alan,welcome back to MG buddy,get some pics up won't ya.........

Thanks

Ours was just under 1.5 weeks - we went for a test drive on the 16th, ordered the car on the 19th, it was registered on the 25th and delivered on the 28th. I don't know if it makes any difference but we ordered ours direct from MG UK rather than through our local dealer. Hope yours is here soon

aldon · 01-10-2012, 22:02

Spoke to dealer today. Car is currently at longbridge waiting for a transporter to come to the south of England

Apparantly it is down for delivery on Wednesday, then I have to wait a further 24 hours for the dealer to A glaze it.

Hopefully Thursday or Friday evening depending on the time it turns up at the dealers.

aldon · 03-10-2012, 20:09

Thursday is the day!

Sambo1981 · 03-10-2012, 23:36

Welcome back. Not even slightly tempted to guinea pig for Piper exhaust and reidy remap?

aldon · 05-10-2012, 01:01

Well, here it is. Absolutely love it.

Only problem now is max 3k revs for first 900 miles :-(

With all that torque from the turbo and the low gearing so you can still do 70 on the motorway that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The problem will be keeping it clean through the winter months, but it does look very smart in white

Tracy · 05-10-2012, 10:54

Very nice - those 900 miles will soon come round and, as Windy said, it's not that hard to keep under 3000 revs. Hope you enjoy it as much as we are ours

paul1957 · 05-10-2012, 14:28

looks very smart.hope you enjoy it as much as the zed

tcb180 · 05-10-2012, 14:49
