Let’s be honest, most folks would prefer a brand new car sitting outside their house.
Very true, but having a new car every 3 years is a luxury that the vast majority of the U.K. population could not afford, or wouldn’t entertain even if they could afford it. On that basis, it never ceases to amaze me how Motability customers who live on very limited incomes (benefits and maybe state pension only, for example) would even entertain sacrificing such a huge proportion of their income for the privilege, especially when so many of these folks cover such low mileages. It’s certainly not how I’d spend my money if I was in that position. I’d be content with an inexpensive used car, as millions of others do. However, we do live in a country where it doesn’t always pay to be sensible with money!
