I’ve seen a couple of mentions on various forums about free options  (red paint on the Mazda CX5 for example).

Is there a list of what are Motability have secured from manufacturers? Or can people list them here?

ive not seen a list but as far as paint goes there is usually for most manufacturers the basic colour that they offer free to all, then metallic that they charge for say for example £500, then theres specials different manufacturers call them different things and they charge for example £750.

for motability the basic and metallic is usually free of charge if you want the “special” all you pay is the difference between metallic and special so in this example £250.all manufacturers honour this i beleive.

some manufacturers offer free front and rear sensors for cars that dont have it as standard i think vauxhall and ford do this.

other than that you need to check individual manufacturers websites or get your negotiating skills out with the individual dealer.

Motability like metallic paint as it apparently gets them a better resale value. I had to get approval for the basic Alpine White when I got my X1,as Motability initially  told the dealer I HAD to get metallic paint.
