I think the last 6 quarters Motability has released the new prices on a weekend or a bank holiday.
I remember Q3 2023, Mazda had put all the MX-5s & CX-5s (including the nice top-spec Takumi) on the scheme for very attractive Advance Payments, but then just a few days later I think all the MX-5s & the CX-5 Takumi were removed from the scheme, and the rest of the CX-5s had their Advance Payments increased significantly.
In general, Mazda’s Advance Payments are too high, they’re physically attractive cars I think & have good HUDs as standard, but it doesn’t make sense to get them on the scheme; they aren’t good value unfortunately.
On a different note, I think Mazda’s Soul Red Crystal is probably the best paint offered by any manufacturer as part of their standard offering/range of colours.
