Motobility clients are indeed a pain to dealerships, they simply do not need us. Motobility are sold the vehicles at a much reduced rate and then passed on to us, the disabled drivers. The car market has had a shock to its system and is running at an all time low in fact if it goes any slower it will be going backwards!. The dealerships cannot get the cars quickly enough and in fact the manufacturers are now very reluctant to deal with motobility, they dont need to give reductions on vehicles, they cant get enough as it is and can sell everything they do get at full price so why bother with motobility, give them the very bare minimum and make as much profit back as is humanly possible. Its going to tke 4-5 years for the car trade to struggle back to a new normal, it will never rturn to what it was.
Dealerships are selling less cars than before, but many are making bigger profits than before and some cars have risen 26% in price in the last few years. Might even be more than that when we get to april and the new financial year.
So you can see why it would be the case that Mb customers are at the back of the queue and treated in such a bad way right now.
I left the scheme as i could get the car I wanted in 4 weeks but would of been a minimum of 6 months for one on the scheme and i could not wait that long, as the car we had become unsuitable for our needs.
