Hope you get this sorted out after the bank holiday…
I have been a Motability customer since 1996 and this is the first time I have gone to order a new car , and told sorry we cannot order you a Automatic in any of the cars you are interested in, as it from previous stock cars only and we have none anywhere.. I felt as if I was being penalised for only be able to drive an automatic, I was even asked if I actually need an automatic or was it just my preference..
I went to another dealership and opted for a different make of car and have been able to order an automatic albeit with a lead time of 3-4 months…
Keeping my fingers crossed
