Options and different car trims with different features are available to you – And the cost isn’t necessarily straight out of your own pocket either : The higher the spec of the model you choose the higher the Advance Purchase cost will be.
most new cars these days come as standard with many modern features , though. Plus, sometimes the higher end models don’t have a drastically high Advance Purchase costs – One car I was looking at, the Vauxhall Crossland for example, had its ‘top spec, version that would have only cost £49 Advance Purchase, so in that instance there was a good amount of features for very little cost.
You don’t have to meet stringent requirements for the scheme and the car you choose – If you are eligible for the scheme, you can lease any car with whatever options are on the scheme.
For users of the scheme, the cost of forgoing their mobility element to their disability payments outweighs the benefits of getting a new car, with insurance, breakdown cover etc included. But please remember you are paying for the car, ultimately. Unfortunately with my wife it has come to stage where a car to make hospital appointments has become almost a dire necessity- And although it’s going to hit our financial situation more, the scheme is an absolute godsend for us now.
again, depends all on your home/financial/physical situation.
main thing is, just research, research and research. All the best.
