@Callmejohn it’s not exactly the competition that streamlines processes and creates better value, it’s the existing processes that were built for competitive advantage and cost control rather than just generosity for staff.
Yes, @Woodpecker I’m aware of the sad reality that the government have no desire to force change while customers are walking away.
The thing for me is that, outside of the scheme, leasing makes no financial sense. I’d be spending money I really can’t afford on a car I’d never own, without the financial aid of the tax benefits of Motability and without all the support of worry free motoring that we had, just paying £320+ a month just to have a car that works for us makes no sense. There are cars out there that are massively more affordable that are suitable and, if I can stay for the whole of the next lease, there will be a whole bunch of the cars I’m looking at now available used. A 3 years old EV5 would be ideal and very likely to be affordable.
I'm Autistic, if I say something you find offensive, please let me know, I can guarantee it was unintentional.
I'll try to give my honest opinion but am always open to learning.
