I’m one of those who is effectively priced out now, I have extended my lease on my current car but unless AP’s come down, that will have to be it at the end of the extension.
By that time, a second hand same year version of my first Motability vehicle will be within price range hopefully, it almost is now, I could get a slightly older version of my first one for the same or less than the advance payment of a new one and I know that suits my needs perfectly and the weekly PIP payment will more than cover insurance and repairs. In my history of car ownership, no car has ever cost me the equivalent of a years worth of PIP payments in insurance, servicing or repairs and I have always purchased cheapy cheap sub £500 cars!
