Motability have agreed to end my lease and due to it being a “Mechanical Termination” i get my AP back from the Vauxhall Astra (£1400 at the time). Can now put an order in for a new car. Busy week ahead looking at cars on my shortlist.
Did you have to pester Motability how long did you have to wait for the mech termination to be agreed.Did you have to be without the Astra for a long time,did they supply a hire car. What are you fancying as your next car ? all you need is £200 you could get an Enyak Sportline if EV gives you a buzz.
Astra went in the day after Boxing Day and it’s been in ever since. Proximo thankfully provided me with an adapted hire car very quickly. Originally spoke to Motability 2 weeks ago and they said ending the lease wasn’t possible until i got my car back. But a few days after they took over from Proximo on getting repair updates, after that they must’ve had a long conversation with Vauxhall and came to the conclusion that it’s not getting repaired anytime soon. Had the phone call this morning and they’ve agreed to end the lease. Getting all my AP back which i wasn’t expecting either. So i’ve got a few cars on my list, Ford Puma, Kuga, Renault Austral and the Mazda CX-5. Not quite ready for a full EV, so sticking with ICE/Hybrid.
How about another Astra ? Glad its all sorted now ?
lmao, i’m not touching another Vauxhall again.
