Chinese factories will make things to the quality you are willing to pay for.
There is still a big difference between brand names like Apple or Lenovo, and what you get from Ali Express or Anko.But I must say, the cheap electronics I get from Aliexpress etc has improved massively in quality compared to say 10 years ago.
Well a 20k car is quite a lot more spendy that a $50 gadget.
People asking stupid prices, doesn’t mean they sell for stupid prices
Not really a fan of chinese ice vehicles but 21k and 10 years warranty is crazy value.
Is this the one that needs 95 petrol. Remember driving one when my car was being repaired I can't get over the gear change from 1st/2nd gear to the next gear there was a huge lag. If they fix that then it's not bad at all.
runs perfectly fine on 91.
I live at a block of old flats, low rise, car park is at back of building 80m from my flat, I can't run cables there to charge…, can you own a electric car and only charge at stations or is it not really a reality?
This is not Ev or PHEV. So you won't have a problem
This is a petrol suv not an ev
Is this not the cheapest car on the market?
The runout mg3 is $18990 Driveway
Avoid.
Haven’t they always been that price.
Good to see more affordable choices for Australia consumer
but with this low entry price and the new chinese cars (both EV and ICE) price getting down
probably the resell value in 5 years time will be very low…Yeah it will be worth less than $21k probably
TBH I bet will be less than $10k…
So half price after 5 years is not good?
A 5 year old BMW has dropped from $125k to $45k, 1/3 of its value.
LinkI guess that means German built cars are worse than Chinese cars by that logic.
@Herbse: Not sure about luxury cars
but a 2018/19 Toyota camry are still able to resell at $26-28k
with a brand new camry for $45kI know it not a apple to apple comparison
but japanese cars used to maintain pretty good in resale value
and korean cars have also improved in recent years
@littlesoldier: When BYD Seagull (Dolphin Mini) EV comes at fraction of that money & length (for parking), but more "luxury" inside, we can see how that perception changes. ICE-age cars have 100x more moving parts that can break & more expensive to maintain.
Is there a reason you expect resale values for cars to be high?
not really expect for high resale value
but most people does selling /trading their old one to get new car isnt it?
Just saying this is one of the factor to be consideredFair enough. I think the past 4 years the expectation for car prices to stay high has caused people to believe this is the norm when in fact it's always been normal for prices to plummet for non rare or popular cars.
Feel sorry for those who paid 60k for a Tesla! Just bought myself 3 MG EVs for the same price!
Just bought myself 3 MG EVs
My condolences. Your username checks out though.
Savage.
Which mg Ev is $20k?
He's not all there
MG ZS EV. You can buy a used demo for $21k.
160km range. Good luck. They say 220km range in specs but it’s actually 160km if you’ve owned one. Plus battery depreciates a few % every year so that gets lower. Sit at charging stations twice a week.
All yours brother. Keep buying this. to be HONESTL, we are happy for you lol
MG4 at $32,990 worth a mention too, if anyone was looking at EV option.
Use it then throw away when starts to breadown. Just like Kmart $4 T shirts.
Does MG stand for Motoring Garbage?
Good luck with the "10 years warranty" and all the best with the after sales service.
Go to your nearest auto mechanic and ask their opinion about Chinese car.
The 10 year warranty is misleading. Read the actual document, there’s a range of issues that MG won’t cover.
Just like all the mechanics in the 80s said to stay away from Japanese cars
Glad we all listened to them then!
Japanese then Korean car has been proven during these years, and how about Chinese?
At some point, Japanese, then Korean cars became reliable, after a period of not. Chinese are probably near that point.
Yeh stay away from early Japanese cars still applies (120Y etc anyone?)
they say: as a high school dropout, i dont know how to service the Chinese cars; they are technically too advanced… oh well as least those Chinese EVs and PHEVs are.
SB!
I wouldn't be saying that with your post history.
There's a pricepoint where that you can't look past it without saying its a good deal even if the car isn't the best. 20k cant even net you a 'newer' used car if its the other 'big brands'. I was checking out hybrid toyotas the other day and damn the prices I definitely wouldnt pay given that they are second hand.
Sure its a Chinese car so what.
Last time I chatted with a mechanic buddy whos being in the trade for like 15+ years and asked his thoughts on Chinese cars. He told me this (or something to that effect):
'You get what you pay for, there are issues, years back we used to see batches with manufacturing defects, but as long as its within warranty, then its no big deal, definitely wouldn't get one without warranty so dont even think about getting them second hand for a cheap drive.'
This one have a 10 year warranty so I mean?????hell yeah???? unless we got another mechanic guy pitching in here.
Warranty is only as good as the manufacturer honoring it and not doing excuse gymnastics to avoid it. This is already happening with the previous MG3.
but as long as its within warranty, then its no big deal
This one have a 10 year warranty so I mean?????hell yeah???? unless we got another mechanic guy pitching in here.This always comes up with these "MG has the best cheapest car now with a 100000 year warranty" posts and it's exhausting.
The warranty is only as good as the company that's willing to honor it. Would you be happy waiting 6 months for a part? But hey it's UnDeR WaRraNtY right?
You have ACCC to cover your ass in this case,
Alot car deals in the last few days.
Let's wait and see what the Japanese, Korean and German will be doing.Putting their prices up because comments like in this post emboldens them
Playing make belief and pretending like it's COVID times in which cost of living crisis really isn't a thing and all cars have 2+ year wait times so they can overcharge you!
They still think that every man and their dogs are dropping $50k+ on brand new cars these days because they don't have anything better to do with their money
Any fine prints about warranty?
There can be tricky terms and you end up not covered with expensive parts after few years.
Now with 10 years warranty.
Do they accept Afterpay over 10 years?
be me. See a massively upvoted really cheap SUV. See that it has 2 downvotes/negs. Scroll through comments searching for 2 negs to see if they have a point. Somewhat.
MG is like Kia was back in 2003. Good enough for most, but still a long way to go. Quality and style lifting with every generation. They will continue and eventually you'll be paying 45k for a MG3 in the year 2045. Assuming we're all still here
Chinese have much more effective Collaborative system & are already ahead of most.
Chinese must sell cheap to compete, just like Hyundai before when they become the 1st car manufacturer who offering 5 years warranty.
MG4 is a better bargain atm
Only if you hold it until the battery dies cos MG will keep slashing prices so lousy residual value especially after warranty runs out. At least BYD has some care for their brand
The CCP thanks Australia for allowing this rubbish on our roads
if it is cheap enough someone will buy it
at least good for 10 years
at least good for 10 years
doubt
warranty but issue is taking it back to get those repairs done
I remember when a brand new Corolla manual used to be this price in the early 2000s
My pay was half what it is now… so that Corolla was no where near a bargain back then!
Early 2000s? As recently as 2018 a Corolla was $20k.
was it? Didn't know it was possible
This or chery tiggo 4 for $23,990 ?
Test drive both. We went the Excite.
Chery Tiggo 4 Pro is a much better car, comes with a full safety pack along with a much more powerful turbo 1.5-litre engine. The interior of Tiggo 4 is much better presented as well. This car lacks a few safety features.
I wish we could get away from stating it's an SUV like that gives it any extra credibility at all. It's a car. Is it the cheapest one? If not get the other which is cheaper or actually maybe buy something worth owning.
My mates all work in the auto industry as mechanics, parts interpreters etc for large multi brand dealerships.
They cannot speak poorly enough of MG. The amount of them that sit in the shop for ages waiting months for parts. The second hand car yard is overflowing with them due to the sheer amounts of tradeins.
Not to mention the feedback they hear regarding warranty claims through MG themselves.
When I told them my parents were considering an mg3 they told me to immediately put them on the phone to talk some sense into them
The amount of them that sit in the shop for ages waiting months for parts.
Breach of Australian Consumer Guarantee. Would be entitled to a refund. Take them to court.
That instant depreciation is going to sting.
Don't even know if you are joking. 🤔
For current owners of this model
1.5l engine but lowest price for a suv?
What was it priced at before?
like $24k from memory
Can I buy this car and become an Uber driver? Will I get riders?
No. They will probably cancel when they see the car
Can confirm. Long time Uber Passenger. If you don't drive at the bare minimum a BMW 5 series or a Mercedes Benz E-class don't even think of pulling up next to me.
What's happening 🤔, imagine who purchaed it last month.
Forget about value for money, resale value, where it's built, etc. Go test drive it for as long as possible and check it out in person. Fold the rear seats down. Find a comfortable driving position. Pay attention to where your left foot would go and how the seatbelt sits across your body. As you can probably tell, I'm not a fan of this car.
buy now and pay later or get an ignis for $1.5k more, or maybe cheaper than one of these thru a broker. how many of the upvoters are gonna buy one anyway?
3 of these vs 1 byd shark.
Shit car don't bother
And this is exactly how you get tariffed. Another stupid Chinese company cutting prices when they dont need to. Everything is expensive for the average Joe in 2024, why would you be stupid enough to bring back 2015 prices when you can and have already charged more. Simply lining up and just asking for governments to slap them with tariff and national security sanctions.
84 kW with 4 speed automatic spells excite in any language.
I just browsed the replys and found some comments that made me feel uncomfortable. If you check the historical OzBargain posts from the past years, you can easily see how much progress China has made. You may have started by getting your clothes made in China, then moved on to small gadgets, appliances, and electronics; nowadays, they produce high-tech products and cars; you should already can feel what they'll bring to us tomorrow..What a miracle they have achieved in just a decade or so! Meanwhile, here in Australia, it’s disheartening to see some people still holding onto their biases and using sarcastic language. Some comments even indicate a lack of education. Wake up, mates, set aside your biases and face the world!
A Toyota camry now with fake leather seats is $60k. Let that sink in.
To the extent people are still afraid of Chinese stuff
Even though 90% of what we buy has been from there for the past 2 decades
