Similar boat for me.
Got the I6 for quite some time to come now, we’ll enjoy it – if it turns out that our next lease would get one of them stupid boxes, go ahead. If you deem my driving not satisfactory despite giving cars back in better condition than i get them (paint corrected, not a single mark or dent), having never gotten a single point, ticket or had an accident, then it very much is your loss, not mine.
Yeah, we’ll likely spend more on a private lease – mainly because there is a considerably tastier choice available, but i mean.. It is what it is. We’re not married to Motability, if they’d rather make a £15k loss on a brand new car due to instant depreciation than keeping us as a customer, then that’s their right.
Seen some cracking leasing deals on the new Ioniq 6 N.. wouldn’t mind. Or, heck, our current car (as dual motor variant), can be had for like £24k with <30k miles. I could see myself owning this boat happily.
