They don’t even have to put any of their reserves into it… I was once told that automatics made up only a tiny percentage of the total number of motability cars (think it was about 1% but not sure?) so even it was as much as 10% then the other 90% pay an extra £10 or whatever figure required to balance the deposits… I’m not expecting zero deposits but of all the options available, model, trim, engines etc there should be no price difference for us between manual and autos
If people are struggling to afford a deposit for a manual then what about those that require an auto… kind of proves my point?
