    Update;

    Spoke to a great Motability Accredited Sales Assistant at Vindis Cambridge to enquire about build times on the Enyaq and while doing, so he mentioned that Skoda themselves are currently offering £500 to Motability customers towards AP’S ordering Enyaqs (just the 85 edition iirc) before the end of September.

    Foundation wouldn’t budge on upping the grant to accommodate more of the NCP and/or Skoda offer despite pleading about living rurally and the need for the greater range of the 85 edition over the 50 edition but they stuck firm and in fact said if we didn’t order a car from their list on the award letter using the grant, that the order would be immediately cancelled by them.

    We dispensed with the grant and went ahead with our own order with the NCP plus the £500 from Skoda, so we now only have to come up with £250 before we pick up our 85 Edition which is currently looking to be on a ’25 plate in March.

    Interestingly, our dealer (Group 1 Norwich) when we asked about their sales of Enyaqs said they hardly sell any to retail customers, they’re mostly sold as hire/fleet cars and to Motability customers.
