The other problem with accompanied test drives (and car sales people in general) is that sales people are often poorly informed about what comes as standard on certain models and what is an optional extra. Many demonstrators are loaded with extras and the sale people don’t always highlight that (if they even know). Some I’ve even had to correct about what is standard and what is optional, as I often find that, having done my research, I know more about the car than the people paid to sell them 🙄
@ajn Just another thought. I don’t know your financial situation, nor would I ask or assume, but if you absolutely love your current car and, if it wasn’t 5 years old, would happily have extended the lease further, is it worth leaving the scheme and buying the same car used? You’d get a car that you know that you’d be happy with and it would most likely work out a fair bit less than getting a brand new (lesser) car through Motability. Just a thought because, with hindsight, we might have been wiser to have done that ourselves last year!
