    I’m sure if a legitimate company who could guarantee continued service and standards for the customer came forward it would be allowed, most assume Motability Operations have it all thier own way. With the uncertainty of vehicle resale prices in a years time let alone 3 years even if they opened the doors to any partential rival company not many CEO’s would be able to convince any Board of executives that it’s a good idea to spend 350million every month on stock with the only guarantee payment of 5.3million back in rental and as part of that rental the company also have to cover everything apart from fuel, and then be at the mercy of a ever changing economy as to the worth of the stock owned by the company. The Idea and the CEO would be thrown out before they even got to labour costs.

    If my neighbor said to me go to any dealership and pick any car upto the value of £30,000 and he will pay for everything required to run that vehicle and all he asked in return is I pay for the fuel required and pay him 5% down payment of the OTR price and then £9,500 over 3 years, I don’t care how he does it or how much he makes out of the deal, I’m going to jolly we’ll shake his hand and trundle of to the nearest dealership. 18 months in and he has already collected my car and took it for a service and even cleaned it for me and is just about to replace the two front tyres and not once asked for a pennie more than the deal we shook on, but now on top of that he has noticed I keep the car in good condition so has now promised to give me £600 back at the end of the 3 years and will let me go and pick another new car on the same terms.

    my other neighbors thinks he’s mad because none of those could or was willing to do that for Me!

    i think my neighbor is Great.
