Thanks for your replies everyone.
@GlosGuy I don’t understand why you think keeping a car for 5 years is a bad deal for the customer though. I understand from the point of view of depreciation but if like me; you’ve done 16k in 5 years & put say 3k advance payment, for me it’s cost effective to get a car which is more comfortable with the higher spec in it & then I don’t have to find that money again for 5yrs rather than 3.
I’m just curious if I’m missing something rather that I’ve not considered?
I’ve actually bought fully electric Skoda this time too.
@Jojoe, I didn’t realise there was a Grants team so thanks. I will definitely ask as nothing to lose & it’s about the comfort I get from the higher spec seating as I live with Chronic pain & ME.
