Indeed glos guy, seems if you mention anything other than being on the scheme is it is made out to be such bad idea.
I have spent 1/3 of my 30 years+ driving on the scheme and there’s no way i spent 10k over 3 years every 3 years, on owning a car. some 66.66k over 20 years. As when i sold the cars or traded them in, i got something back as well..
I had a bad credit rating due to not being able to work anymore, so the scheme was a great help, but now i have got back to having perfect credit rating. More options are open to me now than before and that’s what this post was about, the alternatives and it will depend on the individuals needs and means etc.
Not what the benefit over the scheme are to owning oyur own car. but it seems as always it’s turned out that way. Thera’s pro’s and cons to both. What if you have your mobility allowance stopped and then have to leave the scheme as has happened to many. So really it’s a personal choice.
