MG CAR OWNERS FORUM

Their ability to put so many miles on in such a short time is mystifying. That phev is impressive.

The sight of 180,000 miles on a 25-model is absolutely astounding! Give me your best guess as to how they managed to clock up those miles in such a short amount of time. Other intriguing ideas might start flowing in here if you shared your theory.

What a shame! It looks like our 25 PHEV, which was built around the same time, will have a similar lease, so that's encouraging.

According to the carfax, the maintenance was mostly routine for all those miles, with the exception of the 5,000-mile oil change, which he performed at least once a month.

This vehicle appears to have had only the radiator, engine mounts, and air conditioner compressor replaced, according to the carfax report. Along with one ECM/TCM reflash more. At 60,000 miles, the only part that makes me wonder is the radiator.

This individual must be invited to the forum.

How in the world does he manage to log over 8,000 miles every single month?!!!

I was considering using a service like Uber or a courier. Excessive radiator failure on CX90s is a common occurrence.

How come you've decided to buy out your lease? My lease, which is still up for another year, just doesn't add up.

On ours, the calculations appear to be correct.The buyout price for a 25 with less than 12,000 miles is $37,000. We will spend significantly less than $50,000 for a top-tier PHEV Premium Plus after factoring in lease payments. I was extremely fortunate to have those EV credits in the past.

I simply cannot match the price on a brand new CX or any mainstream three-row vehicle with identical features.

Outside of a spreadsheet, though, is perhaps more crucial: my wife loves the car and isn't satisfied with the alternatives we've tried, so we'll be spending an additional $60k on something else.

Staying with the tried-and-true devil we know has served us well, with the exception of the battery problem we encountered right after buying, which is understandable given my distaste for modern cars. Since then, we've had zero issues, and Mazda did a great job of making things right by covering two lease payments and our rental. Therefore, we never wasted money on an inconvenient vehicle.

Even though I had been advocating a departure from technologically advanced vehicles before, that was a driving factor in my trade-up from the CX50 to the CX70.

The change from that cockpit to this one was smooth, and although I did get some additional electronic features in exchange, the bigger and fancier platform is more suitable for my needs.

That practically requires a life on the road, whether as an airport shuttle or a long-distance rideshare driver. Considering how often the oil is changed, the maintenance history is surprisingly clean.
