Currently we surrender £335/month for the cars. Motability does offer the cheapest option. You can get something very different on leasing, you pay not a lot more for some good vehicles. The thing is…motability will always be there….so why not go off track and get a shiny new toy for a while, it wont break your bank.
Same here RE the scheme being the cheapest option. However, I’m currently looking to replace my personal 220d GC, with something better suited for a family, we also have the Tucson on the scheme, but in reality don’t really need 2 vehicles. Like GG, I’m looking at possibly nearly new or a car a couple of years old and will buy outright.
As your aware, for various reasons, I’m not ready for an EV. The choice of vehicles on the scheme is dwindling, whils’t at the same time AP’s are sky rocketing. I hope, I’m not commng across as a snob, but there are much better vegicles I’d rather have, than whats currently available. I looked at Range Rover over the weekend with my brother, as he has ordered a new one, though I’d have to be brave to consider one again, but the last gen say upto 2024 BMW X series. The other benefit of not going new, is the level of bing bongs under GSR2 is vastly decreased and believe me, they annoy the sh!t out of me!
If you read through the forums, you will see I picked up an excellent Rover 75 V6 a few months back and it was a delight to drive, with various mod cons being the top spec and no bings what so ever, but a car approaching 20 years old, may not be reliable for a daily driver, so I gave it to my daughter who loves it to this day lol.
