Despite the AP rises and having less choice due to manufacturers removing vehicles from the scheme I still think it is better than owning a second hand car or leasing privately. Vehicles can still be had for what I would consider ‘reasonable’ AP, I understand that the choice is limited at the moment compared to what was previously avialable and as a result ones preffered choice of vehicle / manufacturer may be now no longer on the scheme or the AP is to expensive, as result one may need to look at alternatives or extend the lease in the hope that things may return to normal in the coming months.
The big thing with leasing privately is even though it is more expensive the Motability, you can have any car you want (providing you can afford it of course).
