I was knocked down from high rate to a none qualifying PIP rate but was 90% certain I would qualify for higher rate PIP after tribunal and so it was and now have HR on a 10 year renewal.
In the uncertain days of losing my tribunal case I bought my Motability car because it had adaption fitted and that was only a few weeks from the end of term and used the £2,000 handshake (do you qualify for this) to subsidise the cost of buying the car.
Your right about the asking price being a take it or leave price but they do run through a few things over the phone before you decide to buy with the likes of being happy with the condition of the car and that you agree to it as ‘sold as seen’.
At the time I was under stress with the tribunal and all that so I became a yes-man on that occasion agreeing with anything they say but the car after 3 years use had a couple of minor things in ware and tare that a private buyer would have you knock a few £’s off the asking price but do wonder if Motability would have knock a few quid off had I said the drivers door seal needed replacing for instance.
Looking at a local VW dealer for the same car, mileage, year and trim level the asking price was much the same (except I had that handshake money) but the dealers price would for sure include a service but as you know you’re Motability car better than anyone else and how its been treated is much better than a £200 service IMO.
On the low mileage, mine had 18,000 from memory on the clock so was what a dealer would could a low mileage offer however I’m not sure if Motability take into consideration the mileage when they price the car but then I could be wrong.
PS your not the only one who can waffle. ?
