    I like the idea of being able to extend my lease, I paid this whacking big Advance on my car and had to pay extra for adaptations and now after my lease ends, I get maybe £100 back for good condition. For my next new car I then have to pay another whacking big chunk of money, I do get some of it is covered by grants, but a lot of it isn’t, and when they sell my old car, they either restore it to the original condition and remove the adaptations or they sell as is and I am unable to buy it, they lose money maybe, but it costs me money too.

    Where exactly are we supposed to get the money to pay for the new car advance, extras and adaptations? Other than from grants and savings, my point is this seems an unnecessary loss to the scheme, and to the person losing their car, so I think the extension is great on a vehicle that you are used to driving or being driven in?
