This all seemed to be straight forward and I received the paperwork from Motability confirming my order, for the RS line. Now, since I placed my initial order the price of the Arkana E-Tech Engineered has dropped to £2795 – the RS line the dealer keeps referring to still isn’t on the scheme – and the price stated on my Motability order is still showing as £2996. Where so I stand with this £200 discrepancy? Should I speak to Motability? The Dealer is being quite obtuse now and seems to be saying take it or leave it.
If the AP is reduced after your initial order, it is common practice that a dealer will put the order through again at the lower AP, if it has reduced, which in your case £200. Some dealers do this automaticaly, others you have to request it. (I always find it best to go in the dealers, but can be done over the phone)
Doing this does not loose your car or place in the queue and soley a matter of paperwork between the dealer and MB.
You will find many on here including myself that have done this a few times and nothing to worry about.
