Although I’ve extended my lease for a extra two years in April, I’m starting to think with the amount of cars left on the scheme and the possibility of more and more cars being removed or APs getting larger for the type of cars suitable for my needs, ie SUV type, auto box etc etc, probably the same as most of folks on here. So do I bite the bullet or wait and gamble. Dilemma.
Do I recall that you have a BMW X1? If so, there is sadly nothing on the scheme now that comes within a country mile of it, so I certainly wouldn’t be inclined to hand it back and pay a high AP for a car…….
Thats right Glosguy I have the BMW X1 20d X drive lovely car, fantastic auto box and I so wish I had ordered another, in fact I had the option from my dealer of a 20i xline who had a cancelled order, which I could have had within five weeks. But I so wanted a EV or plug-in hybrid and still do.
So I’ve decided it’s not going to hurt to have a look at the plug-in hybrid SUVs still left on the scheme, not many I know, and the APs are bloody eye watering. So off I set yesterday to have a look, what a waste of time, none of the dealers I visited had the model I’m interested in in the show room and only two had a used model ( six months old and a nine month old) which had already been superseded by a face lift. I knew it was bad for new vehicles but hell, I even had one dealer almost crying on my shoulder .
