Glosguy im afraid that after having the Ariya with its many many features (just like your Tucson) the headache will be worse in 3 years time as they’re full of features just like the auto hold that could become “must haves” in future cars I’ve never looked into private @GlosGuy, my first ever car was a motability car 11 years ago, don’t know what my insurance would be on a car living in central London, I know mota can give you a letter saying you haven’t made a claim im a carer for 3 people in my household and 4 if including mum who I part care for if needed which recently has been a lot, motability saves me the headache I see my friends go through with private cars, if I did ever go private I’d want something like an x4/6 x5 (maybe the ix3 new version will be on the scheme in the future loool) I can afford a 10/15k down payment then 310 monthly I guess but I don’t know what that’ll get me I’ve never looked into it
You’d get something decent for that, especially second hand, but if you live in Central London then insurance will be high and you have the worry of theft etc so in your situation I’d probably stick with Motability, in spite of its limitations.
