MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - Virgin Cars?

Anyone has any experience of Virgin Cars?

I'm looking for an MG ZS hatchback, 120+....everywhere seems to do it for between £11k and £13k but Virgin Cars website says they have them in stock for £7999 in a choice of colours with delivery miles...

someone tell me where the catch is!
Dave

The are not new, as pre-registered cars to maybe bulk up sales figures to reach a target, they will only have delivery mileage, you would be the second owner but everything else should be in place warrunty etc. (check length of warranty as the two cars advertised are 1 year old (03/03))

Cheers for that...I've since had an email from some sales guy and the quote mentions a 120 - not a 120+...maybe this is also a reaosn why the price is lower than expected.

Also with this type of deal the dealer keeps the Rover incentives such as are on offer at the moment. Apart from the MGCC discounts I believe Rover are giving 3 years free servicing, 3 years warranty and something else?

As I understand it, if you go for the MGOC/MGCC priviledge scheme you forego the three years free servicing. They don't make much effort to tell you this, but it is in the small print. The discounts are still good, but allow up to £750 - £1,000 for three years' servicing and they suddenly don't look quite so good!

I didn't think that was the case Steve. When my son bought his ZR a couple of years ago I am sure he took the MGCC discount and also got free insurance and 50% no interest finance, but I could not swear to this!
Bob (robert)

You're probably right, but they have increased the discounts and taken away the other incentives. To quote the latest sheet: "The current retail coonsumer incentives are not available under the Privilege Vehicle Sales Scheme unless stated."

Unless someone can confirm otherwise with a new order I think you will find the three years servicing is not included - that's what I was told two weeks ago when I was considering a new ZR.

Dave, look at Makromotoring.com. I have just placed a deposit for a ZS 120+ 5 door at £6779 + VAT 03 Reg. with delivery miles only. They had 1 left in Le Mans green and 3 in solar red as of 13/3/04. Looks like I might be changing my signiture again :-)
