I recently left the scheme kezo and bought a new car. A few reasons are that the high ap’s make’s buying now more viable to me and leasing less attractive, especally now I am doing half the mileage I was in the past 11 years of being on the scheme.
Another is the the 2030 ban and what car makers will do before hand and the effect it will have on the scheme. Currently an ev won’t work for us
Plus i will have an asset worth something and can decide what’s best for me.
I may keep this car a lot longer, who knows. Considering the carbon footprint of making new cars is so high, changing it every 3 years etc ain’t so green and keeping a car for as long as you can is better imo for the planet.
If i keep this car for 10 years i might only do 50k at my current annual mileage, on the scheme i would of had 3/4 cars in that time and have nothing to show for it, but a new car sitting outside the house.
