Jon, what is your view on buying MG shares ( assuming they can be ?) ?
The maker of the SUV cars named MG, is SAIC Motor Corporation Limited.
I understand that firm is entirely owned by the state.
If you were a friend of Chairman Mao or perhaps his successors, you might be able to buy (although don't think it works that way) be given a stake.

As I always said still the least money lost on an Aston bought to date.

Jon, Every month shows a YoY decline, but announcing your facelift/new model so far in advance is a sure way of slowing sales of existing models.
It will be interesting to see how sales numbers look in the db12 era
I thought DB11 books and lines had closed anyway so impact on that side will be obvious. Dealers won't get a DB12 demo until July, so they are likely to be built now, lets not get into whether that translates as a sale, but dealers will be forced to take on a certain number.

Customer deliveries are not until about October from what I got told if you put a deposit down at the Works viewing, so there must be a back order of cars around September ready for the new reg.
The DVLA have at last updated their figures for 2022 Quarter 4.
Only about 6 months late, but I suppose we should be grateful.
Working from home and tea drinking, must have slowed their productivity.
Publication used to be quicker than this.

I think there is only one main dealer in Northern Ireland, so if you want to have a cheeky snoop, at how many new Aston Martins they sell (and when), just compare the UK and GB figures.
12% decrease on the previous year. I understand that there is a delay in delivery of DB12, but personally I would have thought sales of DBX would have covered it.
DBX residuals appear to be falling into Range Rover levels. It is going to be difficult going forward to keep people with the brand if the cars are losing £80k in 2 years

Different customers really, but I think the finance rates will have put some off. I do know a few that went away from RR following thefts, but no one is getting an AM based on residuals alone (and to be fair in certain areas of the market we are clearly issues as well regarding residual values).DBX residuals appear to be falling into Range Rover levels.

I'm considering replacing my L405 Range Rover and a 2yo DBX looks like value next to a 2yo Rangie (or even a V8 Defender - which are silly money for what they are).DBX residuals appear to be falling into Range Rover levels.

New DBX? Er, no. Just no.
