All US sellers are feeling the cooling of the market, fewer buyers want to finance at the moment
knowing that their jobs might be ending, can’t afford the monthly payment or waiting for lower interst rates.

Stellantis is especially bad because high end buyers seem to have deserted them and inventory
is loaded with hard to sell models. Maybe everyone waiting for a fire sale at cost just to move them

I ended buying an MG4 BEV two weeks ago .When MG slashed 10k off the price to shift stock it was a no brainer for me plus 10yr 250,000 warranty i"ll be 80 when it runs out if i'm still standing.

You need to post up a review.
I would like to know how all the lane control, active cruise and active emergency braking etc etc go according to an actual owner.
