To be fair, although most APs are getting absurd, one or two have gone the other way. When we first started looking to change our car in January, my notes tell me the VW ID.4 was £5799. It’s now £999.
It’s the extreme volatility of both the car choice and AP amounts on the scheme that p!$$es me off. It makes it a total lottery as to what you can get/afford at the time you need to change car.
