MG car deliveries on hold in Spain as dealerships shut down with no delivery dates
MG car delivery problems and dealership closures

The thread looks at the recent crisis in MG vehicle deliveries trinc the sudden closure of several dealerships in Madrid, Spain, leaving numerous buyers without a car and in doubt about their money. The discussion focuses on the insolvency of the distribution group and the possible avenues for affected customers to file claims.

Key points of the debate

  • Dealership situation: Several sales points of the Cobendai group have ceased operations, announcing a pre-insolvency filing and leaving customers without their already-paid-for vehicles.
  • The risk of paying cash upfront: Some forum members strongly criticise the practice of paying the full price of the vehicle in advance, especially in a context of economic uncertainty for dealership networks.
  • Brand vs. dealer responsibility: There is an intense debate over whether the brand (MG) should take responsibility for deliveries for the sake of its corporate image, or whether, legally, the customer is relegated to the dealer's list of creditors.

What forum members say about the delivery problems

Position A: Some users argue that, faced with the dealership's bankruptcy, the buyer is in a situation of extreme legal vulnerability, where recovering the money invested will depend solely on the brand's goodwill or a lengthy insolvency process.​

Position B: Other participants argue that this event is not a problem exclusive to the MG brand or the electric car sector, but a direct consequence of the dealership group's financial management, also affecting other brands such as Hyundai.​
