Was talking to a friend last night who was contemplating buying a new car. He rattled off the usual list - Audi, Merc, B*W etc. - without once mentioning MG. As soon as I suggested it, he told me that he would be mad to even consider MG as they were going under and that he'd be left with car made by a defunct manufacturer and no dealer network to back up the warranty.
I have to say that, despite my loyalties, I was unable to convince him otherwise. What should I tell him (or anyone else that is of the same opinion) to relieve him of this mental barrier which is preventing him from becoming the proud owner of a future classic car?
I don't mean, that I should convince him that MG won't go under (I mean, let's face it, there's no guarantee that it won't). I mean how can I convince him that it would still be a good deal even if (god forbid) the worst does happen.
