@Glos-Guy I’m looking at the 2019 Volvo V90 or XC60 T8’s or the X5 PHEV’s. (I don’t buy new in general) Beautiful cars and I can see it being overall cheaper than motability. Something like this : https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202112040213058
Comfortable, quick, all the toys. Probably sells for over 30k in 4 years as it’s a PHEV.
You can also get a 2017-2018 Mercedes C350E for well under 20k That’s not depreciating even 5k in 3 years. Micky would a C350E like this suit you? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202111059271344
A new fully loaded 5 series for under 30k in the current climate sounds like a pipe dream unfortunately!
