Seems as if this dealer has lied alot imo and that only adds to your protection under the consumer credit act regarding misleading selling imo, I got £250 off my last car and got my £600 gcb in the post 2 days later from mb so it bs. What i’d do is just call Motability on monday and start looking at other cars specs and prices. which sometimes not easy sometimes you gotta build them to see the full specs.. some you can compare depends on the makers. some you need to look at the extras to see what you don’t get as standard.
it all depend what you need/want though not me or anyone else only you know..
The Ap is taken on behalf of Mb but the extra’s i am not sure they are.. Like i said i never added any at all..
Unless you plan to buy the car at the end I personally see no point in adding extras. As it’s money you will never get back.(but that is up to the individual and i got no problems with those that do, just as long as they informed decsions)
So i look for a car with all the things i do need as standard and for me that has de-seleced alot of cars everytime and only I’ve only had 2 options max in the end to test drive that intrested me and met my criteria.
Also all bmw’s, merc’s and audi’s and volvos / acc comes as part of a driving pack at £1k to £1.5 on top of the ap, but on the honda civic it came as standard for The Ap and alot of other stuff also.. I am really loving the car especally how it drives. The only thing it don’t have is heated seats but i am not really missing them that much as the heater is awesome much better than in any car i had so far and i guess i could get a plug in one, if it was a big issue they cost like £10
One of the big reason’s as well i got the civic sport this time was my son he passed away in 2017 and he was only 16. He loved cars. So i understand your loss and where you at right now, Even now it still makes me feel sad / everyday. it’s because we care so much.
It was one he showed me not long after i got my golf back in 2017 it came out and he knew my first car was a honda. I was i like it, first civic with a turbo as well. maybe in 3 years i said? he was my car buddy and it was not easy looking at cars without him and his feedback. brought me to tears.
The last two cars I have gone for lower down cars as i now need at auto and sometimes something has to give to get things like adaptive cruise control and comfortable seatsthat one needs and that within my budget. Plus after getting a golf I came to the conclusion I prefer low down cars as they handle better and i do have issues getting into all cars, so really it make not much difference at all to me..
I spend most of my time inside the car anyway not getting in and out.. I just don’t park kerb side as that really helps alot.
