A v6 petrol's expensive to run whether it's a ZS, Mondeo or anything else for that matter where money's tight - so fair play for running it for so long. Looked at a Megane diesel myself but then thought - I'll spend £3K on a car to save £80 a month. That means I need to run a slow noisy diesel for 3 yrs ish to break even - decided against it.
Stick around and you'll buy another one soon enough... 
Out of interest though - what sort of money did you get trading in the ZS ? |
Nope not harsh at all. Less money being spent to maintain them, prices dropping like stones, more and more being scrapped when any type of repair comes up, spares are not making as much money, tight fisted owners won`t spend money and expect you to do things for nothing.
I love MG, but be realistic, they are dying.
I`m an MG specialist garage, and I`ll tell you how many MG`s I`ve worked on since the start of July, 2 and one of them was my own. How many in June? 3, again one of them my own. The harsh reality is, the majority of MG`s are sub £1000 cars. Why does anyone want to spend half their value repairing or maintaining them? A head gasket failure or timing belt service and they get shot. Christ discs and pads all round on a 180 and they put it up for sale!!
An 02 plate 180 is a token gesture trade in. It`ll go to auction and struggle to make £500.
