Ownership cost
What used MG ZT saloon will I get for my budget?
How much does it cost to run a MG ZT saloon?
Prices for these cars nose-dived when MG Rover went belly up, but have since recovered. Even so, they are slightly lower than rivals of a similar age.
Servicing was never steep - the costs for maintaining a ZT being comparable to those for a Ford Mondeo. But, thanks to the fact that there aren't any main dealers any more, servicing is now even cheaper because you have to go to an independent.
Beware, though - no matter how young the car you find may be, the manufacturer's warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on. So, you might want to budget for an aftermarket warranty package.
