Quite simple for me what I’m going to do about it. Unless things change dramatically, I will be leaving the scheme when the lease on my vehicle runs out. Whether that be after 3 or 5 years at this moment I’m unsure. I’ve currently got the car that I wanted and paid what I think was a good AP to get it. As it stands there is not a single car on the scheme that I would go for except maybe the Mini JCW as a second car.
Many are in the same boat and some who extended for 5 years already and have no option but to leave or get something not suitable to remain on the scheme. A few cars have come back recently but the ap’s are not justifable or afforable for many and what else can you do but leave.
Some just don’t see that as they can afford to pay such high ap’s but not everyone can and for me it is a matter of principle, that I won’t pay over a certain amount over the full allowance to lease a car suitable for my needs. Everytime I have gotten a car the ap has risen that I have payed to now levels that i consider to high for me and i am not alone.
What everyone needs to do is apply for a grant i guess and see if they will help with the cost and if they don’t then what option do you have but to leave.
I don’t even think the ceo really understands or doesn’t care about the situation many are in right now. They will get your car back and make a profit and they’ll get a nice bonus on top of the nice salary and amazing perks. Sounds like bankers to me? meanwhile the charity part gets funds to then give to other causes outside the scheme and to some in the form of grants the 2 mbo & mb are separate but that works ok as then they can play it’s down to you oh no it’s down to you, we don’t control that?
