With the increase in AP prices for the cars I’d consider I must say that buying a second hand approved bmw x4 or similar has now come onto my radar. The large APs don’t justify Motability for me at the moment and show no signs of falling
It amazes me how many people there are who seem quite comfortable paying £4k+ APs.
We’re already (currently) paying £75.75 per week for these cars out of our PIP so a £4k AP over the course of a three year Motability lease equates to a further £25.64 per week. That means shelling out £15,817 over the course of the three year lease. Then you hand the car back and have nothing to show for it!
This might make sense for those who do a high mileage and live in their cars but surely most on the scheme don’t do that? I don’t understand how many disabled people have so much money to throw around leasing top spec cars. I struggle to pay £1000 APs but needing an SUV for mobility issues I have to do that. I dread to think what the APs will be next time round when my lease is over.
