At this rate as @Elliot said,
The scheme is now becoming too expensive for a lot of people.
I can’t agree with this.
Currently there are 125 vehicles on the scheme with £0 up front payment – 49 if you remove manual cars.
This also includes quite a few electric cars too.
I understand some may have some very specific requirements, but if I was struggling, then I’d have to just ‘make do’ with something on the scheme – and I’m sure there would be something suitable (even if it doesn’t have a high spec).
Compared with trying to go privately, it still seems a no-brainer to carry on with Motability.
Remember:
- Insurance included
- Adaptions included (not all, but a decent amount)
- 15k miles per annum
- tyres and servicing
- £600 good condition bonus
You won’t get any of those going off the scheme.
And as for prices? I remember paying over £5k for a Mazda 626 20 years ago. That was a fortune back then!
