My skoda dealer did not want to reduce my AP either. They told me that motability not allowed the to do that. However, I’ve read here so many times people where able to reduce it that I decided to call motability and ask. So the answer was – dealer can cancel and re submit application and stay with same order if car’s price did not reduce (manufacture price) if for example Skoda costs £50k when I ordered and now same model is £48k then they would have to cancel application and order car which would send me to the end of the queue. I rang my dealer and said this but they said they will not do it until they will get official approval from motability. So again, I rang motability help line and lovely lady Chloe put mi on hold and spoke win manager. And she sorted out everything. My application was resubmitted for lower AP but order remains unchanged as the price of the care is still same.
