So suggesting alternatives to the scheme as is the heading of the post is knocking the scheme or suggesting the reasons, which are growing, as to why the scheme may not work for many now, is knocking the scheme. suggestting the reason you might leave and what you do is knocking the scheme. Saying anything not good about the scheme is knocking the scheme.
Seems in current times debate or certain disscussions cannot be had without some trying to close them down, as they just don’t agree with the alternative views put forward. which is what this topic is about?
would not surprise me if this topic is closed down, like many others.
This topic is very relative to many on the scheme right now and what will happen moving forward. especially if you’ve extended for 5 years already, as no car was suitable, and now it’s high unlikely that it will happen now. So then what do you do..
Seems as if many just don’t want to accept that right now that the scheme is not what it was and with current ap’s and the removal of many cars from the scheme as the ap’s are higher than the cap is a big issue and will get bigger imo. Not that everyone can afford such high ap’s. right now the cheapest automatic large suv is £1,499 ap which is still £41 a month extra over 3 years.
I never asked for a grant thus far but to stay on the scheme maybe i will have too and then be limited to what cars they allow me.. as will many others moving forward. thats what’s sad about the situation, that many just don’t seem to see. Nothing is free we all pay for it in the long run.
If the scheme still works for a person that’s for each person to workout for themselves but without full knowledge how could they.
Many to stay on the scheme will have to make hard choice’s of what they can and cannot do without in a car or wav.
In the past i have been a great advecote of the scheme, but right now that’s becoming harder and harder, especally for those on the lowest incomes. After all we have to sign to say the car is suitable for our needs for 3 years. Now the 1st thing to suggest to others, is try to apply for a grant, rather than what cars maybe suitable for there needs.
