I’m with Rox in that whenever someone suggests an alternative to Motability they get shouted down as knocking the scheme. I understand how the scheme is a godsend for many people, but it has to be said that at this moment in time it doesn’t suit a lot of people due to upfront cost, choice etc. When I took out the Motability lease on my current car it was a no-brainer however as it stands today, there isn’t a single car on the scheme that I find suitable and if I had to change my car I would have to look elsewhere. If this is the case in just under 2 years time, I will probably lease privately again and can tailor a deal to suit me. Yes, the monthly payment will be higher but the AP won’t be. I’m always interested to hear what other people have done when leaving the scheme and I think as things are this is an excellent thread.
