    This is obviously discrimination and I don’t see how anyone can argue it isn’t! My son ordered his car with Ford last July, they happily took his deposit, gave a date for in 12 weeks. This was moved back to December. Since then we’ve had no build by date and Ford continue to refuse to give us one! I’ve asked what is their policy on allocation because we can see online that private buyer are not only getting build by dates, but their cars! It’s now 7 months. On YouTube over the last few days we see that the Ford  Focus for demonstration! Why if they can’t fulfill orders they have! This is the first time he has been on the scheme so he has no car in the meantime! This is having a devastating effect upon my son! He is extremely upset and completely lost his independence.  Once you take into account his age and he can only drive an automatic his choice come down to 15 cars he could potentially order but still be waiting for ever! This is a disgrace. I’ve told Ford and Motability that this is discrimination but they just say there is nothing they can do! Motability say he can just cancel his order! What a stupid annoying solution is that? A bone solution!  Flippant, rude and completely useless advice! If it’s not discrimination why don’t they be honest that they are prioritising private buyers? Peeps who’ve been discriminated against need to get together to take them to court. Motability are just as complicit as they do nothing and they are advertising this service! Obviously I am damn angry! Disabled clients should have priority especially if they don’t have a car! I hate discrimination! Who’s gonna fight. Power to the disabled peeps! ✊?
