I spent a couple of days last week looking at cars, the Audi and Skoda dealers both had stock available for me. The Mazda dealer had stock elsewhere but available in a few weeks unless I wanted an optional pack fitted, this would be a factory order but that’s common for all orders.
The only dealer with a long wait time (for the particular car I was asking about) was Renault for the Austral but again it’s because there’s very few available in the UK and not just Motability orders.
Yes, there are certain dealers who won’t release available stock for Motability orders, I’ve been to dealers who weren’t interested in having my business at all. Keep looking around, you never know what you may find 🙂
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
