Why would I go lease privately I mean this is the whole point of mobility to provide to the disabled… private leasing or pcp is nothing to do with this, this is a charity at the end of the day and charging that amount to a disabled person is just ridiculous
It’s not about actually leasing privately but looking at the real world prices. I’ve seen ads for some cars on the scheme where the monthly payments were double the PIP award and that was 12k miles and didn’t have the full cover for repairs and breakdown that we get.
Whilst there is a Charitable component to Motability’s group, you lease a car from a profitable company who made a substantial loss last year. Unfortunately, we aren’t going to be given nice cars at a loss mostly because they want to continue for a long time to come. All profits go to the charity and a lot of that comes back to those of us facing the hardest struggles in the form of grants to cover the AP and adaptations.
The reality is, though, there are cars that meet most people’s requirements for nil AP. If you can work then you may have the opportunity to save for a substantial AP and, therefore, can get something more expensive.
I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
