"However, I am left to wonder how wide spread these issues actually are. What percentage of owners are experiencing these issues? 10%, 20%, 50%? As with most things in life you hear about the complaints people have far more often, and with more vigor, than the successes. I have spent the last 5 months reading every M3W article I can find and I’ve followed every M3W thread here on TM. It does seem there are a number of issues and complaints but it also seems to be limited to 20+ different users who have reporting issues. Given the roughly 2000 new generation M3W’s in existence, a fair number of whom I presume belong to this forum (if they’re smart), how many of them have had these issues? Are 80% of owners trouble free, 60% 40%... 90%? I think an accurate perspective is needed to place this thread in context."
Exactly, a very important question, and I do not know why everyone with a Morgan isn't on here, whether they post or not, but it appears they aren't. There are also many owners who do not do enough miles to see the problems or who just do not recognise that a particular trait is a problem, the bumpsteer issue is very much like this. I am led to believe that some owners actually like their cars to dive around the road every time they hit a pothole.
Don't forget that most of the problems occurred on 2012/13 models, and this is important to bear in mind. A bit tough for owners of those model years however, as they will undoubtedly find a harder to sell, when the time comes around. I had my 2013 advertised at a very realistic £27500 for several months late last summer and autumn and ended up trading it in for a Plus 4, for an allowance of £25k, it was 18 months old with around 3500 miles from memory, and I had to put quite a lot to that trade in allowance as well.
However, the experience was fantastic, whether is was worth what I might have lost, I don't know and only each individual owner can decide if it is value for money.
