    Will the dealers sell the cars that are on order for Motability customers to private buyers given that it will take a while before stocks are replenished.

    I doubt ppl will be out panic buying new cars, once the dealers do open again.

    The problem is that’s likely to be maybe at least 3 months, no sales and no income, gov money is to pay wages for that period but it could go on longer or back to normal next week..

    Went out this evening had to do a dpf regen, first one in almost 9 years of owning a diesel.

    My local vw dealer has still got cars outside. i’m due to change cars on 15th and no it’s not an april fools joke, My new car is getting my private plate on it, thats been on retention or i’ll lose it.. and did get a text from mb, saying as i due to exchange soon the dealer once open again will contact me and price for Q1 stands. but i dunno… if the car is sitting in dealers compound for that long, do i still want it..

    They have had it already for a while stored pretty much since i ordered it in jan.. as was only 3 blue ones in uk available in spec i wanted before my exchange date.. just suxx the not knowing when, but at least we still on the road
