They shouldn’t be very old, but it depends on the stock being held by the carmaker and the tyre company that supplies their tyres.
I would suggest you check the tyres on other MGs and see if they are the same as yours. From your question I guess you believe the dealer has switched tyres on your car while it was in for service. If you do then perhaps the best thing is to confront the dealer about it.
Air conditioning was a $2000 option on the MGF, but that was when new. I wouldn’t expect it to add that to the value of a used example now. Try and negotiate the asking price of the car down.
The MG GS launched in early 2017 with sharp pricing and stylish looks, but the company hasn't been keen to hand the cars out for press evaluations following a brief launch 'experience' drive with selected media in Victoria early last year. You can read into that whatever you'd like, but it doesn't scream "confidence in our products" to the team here at CarsGuide. That said, we have the MG ZS - a smaller SUV with similarly sharp pricing - due in the garage soon. Stay tuned for that review.
It really depends on what you want to do with the car, as they are quite different, the Saab being a four-seater and the MG a two-seater and sportier. If you want a cruiser capable of taking your friends along as well the Saab is probably the better option, if you're not worried about taking others with you on your ride the MG presents an appealing choice. With either one you would need to find a mechanic who knows the brad and their quirks, and be prepared to spend more on keeping them on the road than other brands. If you chose the MG I would recommend join the MG Car Club and enjoy the car on club events.
Chinese automotive giant SAIC Motor own MG. Other SAIC motor affiliates include SAIC MAXUS, SAIC Volkswagen, SAIC-GM, Shanghai General Motors Wuling, NAVECO, SAIC-IVECO Hongyan and Shanghai Sunwin Bus Corp.
SAIC motors, who own MG, make MG cars out of China and Thailand. Until its collapse in 2005, MG Rover Group had been manufacturing the cars.
Previously MG cars were produced out of Longbridge in the UK. Some of MG's research, development and design still takes place out of the Longbridge site but since 2016 MG cars have been manufactured in China and Thailand.
MG stands for Morris Garages - the initials pay homage to car magnate William Morris. Morris owned the garages where MG's founder Cecil Kimber worked, and Kimber started the MG brand in order to make faster and sportier Morris cars.
The MG6 had a warranty for three-years/100,000 km when released. The company announced a six-year/unlimited kilometre warranty in 2016, but that didn't apply to the 2013 MG6.
