I am so very very annoyed right now. For the last couple of weeks I’d been trying to buy only for my Dealership to be told by the manufacturer there were non to buy whilst said manufacturer told Motability there were. Naturally, today, it’s off the scheme. So I wasted a couple of weeks with back and forth shenanigans (I’m sure the call centre are sick of me now! haha) AND my backup car has gone up by £1000 today -_-.
It’s so hard to find a car that I can easily get in and out of AND that has the features and functions that make me (a) feel safe (b) easy to handle driving with functions and what not (c) felt comfortable to use (d) has room in the boot for my chair and dog.
My current car (Ford Galaxy) ticks every box for me and then some, but in 1month and 23 days it’ll be at the end of 5 years and thus HAS to be changed. Sadly it is not on the scheme these days, nor is its slightly smaller sister the S-Max. Heck you can’t even order either of them as a non motability customer at the moment.
The car industry and its knock on effect on everyone (not just us) is a MESS right now 🙁
