I have ordered a car in this present quarter l was thinking what if the AP goes down in the next quarter (April) am l able to cancel and reorder at the lower price my change over is not due until the end of April
The official Motability line is that you pay the Advance Payment (AP) in force at the time the order is placed – no matter when the vehicle is delivered.
Some dealers will permit the customer to cancel and re-order should the AP subsequently drop, as, other than some administrative time, it costs them little or nothing to do so. The dealership still gets paid the same amount by Motability, no matter what AP is paid by the customer. However, some dealers will not do this and adopt Motability’s line.
Ideally, it is something to get in writing from the dealership when ordering. If the dealer won’t, you are free to go to another dealership that may do this.
However, as you have already ordered, it may be worth re-contacting your dealer and asking if they will do this and try to get it in writing from them.
