I have just ordered a Skoda Karoq. I wanted the premium paint and was prepared to pay the difference, about £400. The salesman phoned motability and says he was told I had to pay the full price, around £1000. I don’t understand it, surely the resale value after the lease expires would have been greater. BTW I declined and have settled for metallic silver. Only good news is the AP has dropped by £500 in Q2 so I will be contacting the dealer shortly.
