It’s right now 3k to 4k Ap to lease a basic golf on the scheme, is that affordable and acceptable to you then and for those you mention. Where as before i have paid less than £500 ap for a golf…
A car that’s not new is a banger. Anyone who is not on the scheme or leaves the scheme is a fool in your opinion, i guess?
I was one of those people and that was before i got the full mobility allowance and worked, had young kids a morgage etc etc…until i could no longer work, every month i was into my overdraft. So thats the plight of many people not just those with disabilities. Which come april will only get worse for many..
GG is right i’d rarther feed my kids, heat my home than have a nice new car on the drive. I’d get roadside cover just like we have rac cover on the scheme, just like i used to, for piece of mind, if you have a breakdown.
I have never owned a car in 20 years prior to being on the scheme for the last 10 years that needed any welding doing to it… Seems you have a very strange view to actual car ownership and always think the worst of anything other than the scheme. Which has it’s issues right now and thats the problem.
There is no way i will pay or can afford 3k upfront to lease a car, so even my choices are limited not needing a huge boot or an suv but that is big enough for my family.
The scheme is getting worse and worse if you cannot see that then it is sad times, as the ap’s get higher and higher and the allowance lags behind the rate of actual rate of inflation. Thats not really Mb’s fault thats the government’s and i see the gap growing. which leaves many no options that are suitable or affordable.
what’s your advice for them wmc?
Yes it does give you piece of mind but the worry of where i will get the ap from for a car that suits my needs let say it’s only 3k not the 4k for that golf, which is already becoming a worry, of where i will find such an ap, for jun 23
£3000 over 36mnths = £83.33 a month (on top of the allowance for the 3 years) i’ll have to find. where do the many you point out find that..
Thats what you fail to understand and is the bigger issue. Many cannot now get the car they require due to the cap or cannot afford the huge aps. What should they get a car that’s not suitable for there needs or they don’t like driving for instance.
Ap’s that have risen at least 6x higher are not sustainable for me or many. The truth needs to be told and for many, the scheme is becoming less viable.
If you cannot see that then you cannot see that?
