I think a more personalised lease plan is the way forward. Have a guarantee that customer won’t pay more than the AP and PIP contributions, but also have a percentage returned if the car has made a profit over the course of the lease. As it stands the profit on our car is going back to Motability to do with as they wish, be it charitable donations or helping others with grants towards AP’s. Meanwhile we are coming off the scheme as we are no longer prepared to pay the crazy AP’s on top of £10k + in PIP. Something needs to change.
Excellent idea Jojoe. However I can’t see Motability think the same some how!
Have you had any more thoughts what car you’d likely go for?
I did read somewhere today that you “could” save £17k as Audi and Tesla prices fall.
