Whilst it may help move more new units, it could create a glut of used cars in a few years time that may be in excess of the used car demand. Which may become a problem for the factory to shift those used cars and therefore greater pressure and downward spiral on used car prices. The deal would be better if it was over 3 years not two.
Traditional Morgans were always seen a gilt edged as far as residuals were concerned, hold onto the car and you basically got your money back, so no real ownership cost . The CX seems to be moving those residuals expectation goal post downwards and the cost of ownership is getting more expensive, so hopefully there is enough new buyers with deep pockets. What that does for the second hand market is not clear at the moment, I know I wouldn't buy a CX earlier than MY23, due to all the known issues.
And with £40k you could buy a Trad keep it a few years, sell it and still see most of your money back, a much lower ownership cost experience for as much fun..
