Is it just me thinking motorbility needs to up its game The lack of information about future Motorbility APs and if/when customers are to be hit with the whole of Labours vehicle VAT surprise Or are motorbility going to try and soak up some of the extra cost to customers Its a possibility they are considering I am told but a decision has not yet been made Just been on the phone and after 20 mins came away non the wiser Q/ asked If a car is ordered in June 3 months before end of their present lease with a ex £2000 AP will vat still be added to the already agreed £2000 AP in july and payable at the Sep handover A/Cant say as not yet been decided on but if it is the case you can leave the scheme if not happy Q/ Insurance premium how much will it be A/Not sure but last year they thought it was around 12% I then said so its quite possible a double hit from AP vat plus 12% of as yet an undetermined insurance premium amount They told me they were still working on the details my reply was well they need to pull their finger out as no knowing causes anxiety My reply was simply people at this late stage need to know what the total costs will be as unlike Starmer we do not all have a hidden money tree Tbh the lack of info at this stage is staggering when you consider they have access to so many legal resources How on earth can anyone plan the unknown If and when anyone can throw light on this subject it would be appreciated
The only way to stop the VAT bit on the AP would be to pay the AP when you order the car in June for example.
I know lots of people could not afford to do that, but it might be a way round it if the funds were available.
