Hi Baljit. We have hand controls on our current car and when the car was still at the dealers (before we picked it up), the adaptations company collected it from the dealer, fitted the hand controls and delivered it back to the dealer, all before we took delivery. With our previous car, it didn’t come fitted with hand controls but when my wife’s disability worsened we asked for them to be fitted. Motability wouldn’t allow it but did allow us to order a new car, even though we were only mid lease. I think it might be to do with VAT exemption rules only applying to cars when they are first registered.
As for the Q3, I presume that you know that the Black Edition doesn’t add any more equipment over the S-Line, it’s purely cosmetic. Personally, I much prefer the look of the S-Line externally and you can also opt for a grey interior with that model. With the Black Edition everything is, well, black, including the interior trim and headlining and it’s far too oppressive for me. IMO the Black Edition doesn’t even look sporty, unlike the M-Sport models from BMW, so if it were me and I wanted the Q3 I would get the S-Line whilst it’s still available. Audi have a habit of suddenly disappearing from the Motability scheme for no obvious reason. As Lou says, catch ‘em while you can!
