    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

    This is the kind of statement that fuels resentment on forums such as the recent one on YouTube

    Motability is here to provide people with disabilities care free driving. It requires no credit checking or high interest loans. On a like for like comparison there is no cheaper method of leasing a car that provides a return on your investment. A PCP deal on the 9k car will require much higher payments without the other list of benefits.
    Prices have gone up but they have everywhere. I was helping my daughter find a car last week as she had just returned after living abroad. I was amazed by the increase in costs since I bought a car 5 years ago especially the increase in insurance.
    As others have said, there are plenty of cars to fit everyone’s budget. We may want better but that’s life.
