those on wpms are being royally tirned over on the scheme. their allowance is £86 per week compared to £77.05 for all other allowances. so assuming 52 weeks in a year and 3 year lease they pay £1708.20 more over 3 years so the ap difference and the weekly difference should even itself out. however for example the ev4 gtline is £499 on pip and £0 on wpms. the weekly amount is reduced to £83.48 on wpms saving £393.12 so 499 plus 393.12 is £892.12 so on wpms i would pay £816.08 more than someone on pip. thats wrong. to rub salt in dealers and manufacturers offer reduced ap’s for pip etc but dont offer the same to wpms see mg’s deals at the moment, i have contacted 2 dealers so far to get the same deal and all i get is bull and radio silence. i am going to check the other cars i am interested in but i reckon it will be similar.
Re the EV4 GT Line the difference is because the WPMS weekly amount £84.83 is fixed for the duration of the lease (i.e. won’t go up every April), hence you will trouser any increases for 3 years. Whereas Motability will grab the annual increase on all other benefits/allowances.
As Motability do not know by how much the benefits/allowances rise every year, they take an average amount based on future predicted inflation to set the price and work it back from there. If CPI inflation is more than planned you will be even better off compared to other the allowances.
Overall, there has been the occasional cock up in the differential pricing, but generally it gets sorted.
