Hi RXT, As wmc said it really does vary as to whether the scheme is a viable option for you, Sometimes it even more than just crunching the figures. Whatever car it’s gotta be sutable for your daily needs. Glad to hear your fight is finally over to get the help you need. Must of been a shock after 2 years looking at cars on the scheme.
I recently left the scheme. As for me, it just wasn’t as viable an option as it once was and I have been on the scheme for 11 years and had 4 different cars. All very different as our family needs changed over the years and so did my condition. Many of which are no longer on the scheme or the ap are just not justifiable to lease a car.
Some reasons are the mileage we doing is well down on what it used to be and I plan to keep the car I have bought for longer than I would on the scheme. As i do think keeping a car for longer is better for the planet, than getting a new one every 3 years and if you extend for 5 years your paying the same in allowance.
The ap’s on many cars are higher than ever and the choice’s are very limited and I don’t know if I could of waited a long wait time to get a different car as my wife mobility is also an issue now. So the car we had was a big issue now for her, personally I loved it but sometimes, you got to do what’s right for you and all your needs and for many the scheme is just not offering what it was.
Even ev’s are not for everyone as unless you have off-road parking charging is a big issue and the added cost of it over charging at home. Does seem many ev’s have the longest waits also.
I guess it’s really a tuff one if it works for you then all is good but for many for a multitude of reasons it just isn’t and have left or plan to leave when their current lease expires.
