Look a bit deeper under the surface on these chinese cars and the story is even worse. Missing panel sealant around the arches, pre-rusted components, sagging wiring looms. Forget Rover Group build quality, I think they found a BL Quality Assurance manual from 1974 lying around Longbridge and adopted that as their engineering model.scoobyh123 wrote:They make the original Rover panel gaps look like Titus Aduxas (say his name quick,you'll get the drift!), they really were bad.

There's an MG dealer opened up near me and i had a look recently at some of the cars and the panel gaps were totally shocking - i even saw a bus drive out of a couple of them!
Also forget MG6s for £5k, they were going for that 2 years ago. They can be seen advertised for around £3k and can be bought for much less. There is no appetite for the cars new, much less second hand. As I understand it (from speaking to owners) the only thing keeping 2nd hand values is outstanding finance deals exceeding the market value of the car.
