I understand this question may perhaps annoy some people, however, just a thought.
My car is set to end on 21st november, no car currently ordered. None suitable / cant afford, they wont let me extend. If I were to order a car with a large wait time, could I change my order mid-wait if a suitable vehicle came on the scheme at all?
Hope that makes sense
Thanks

In my humble opinion prices are only going one way!! But as stated in huge numbers of posts, you are not committed to the vehicle until the pin is entered.
I’m just thinking the current e5008 is over priced. Just wish it was £1k cheaper and it would be swallowable. Seeing alot of deals on electric cars at the moment so just hope someone comes in with a nice deal on the e5008 lol
A perfectly reasonable question and the answer is ‘yes’.
If your order a car and the AP drops before delivery, the dealer can adjust it for you, but check before you order that they are happy to do this (most are but some can be ar@#holes 😂).
If a car that you prefer to the one that you order comes on the scheme, simply cancel and order the new one.
It’s better to do the above (assuming that there’s a car on the scheme at present that you want) rather than hold off in the hope that APs will drop. The trend in APs has been upwards for around 2 years now and I don’t see that changing. If the APs go up you are protected, but if they drop you can do as suggested above, so there’s nothing to lose. If, however, you hold off and APs rise, you have absolutely no choice but to pay the higher price.
there is one in the deals page i think it was 400 of the e3008 and 5008
Yeah I factored that in to this post, if it were more close to £1000 it would be better haha..
What if I cancelled my order and the time was past my new lease date? How long would Motability give me to order a new one?
if any use cupra offering a grand of cars
as for how long is anyone’s guess but as they d extend leases to 5 years id say you have some wiggle room with a 3 year old car and dont forget if under certain mileage you can extend your lease look on your account to do that its simple
It’s worth keeping in mind that the automatic ability to extend leases to 5 years no longer exists. To extend to 5 years your car must be either under 20,000 miles (after 3 years) or have adaptations. That being said, if you stand your ground (as I did) they will back down.
Mines on 48,000 ive asked them a few times to extend, the extended originally for 1 month, Now theyre saying I am unable to extend.. The site dont let me extend either, load of 💩

They will still grant one month extensions for anyone, but they have a rule that once you’ve accepted an extension you can’t ask for a second one. Thats why folk should never ask for one month or even one year extensions, but ask for two years. That way you have up to 2 years, but you can still order a new car at any time. I got them to agree to a 2 year extension but in the end I ordered a new car one month later!

They had me off big time then! They said they could only do a month max haha.

Yes, that’s the new policy now. I got a 2 year extension, even though the last car had no adaptations and had done 28,000 miles, because I took them to task over the policy change. Whilst they are quite at liberty to change their policies, they cannot vary the terms of a lease without consultation and giving the lease holder the right to terminate without penalty. Prior to the policy change, leases contained a clause saying that leases could be extended. When I pointed all of this out they backed down. However, some people have managed to still get 2 year extensions online as the system hadn’t been updated 🤔
Looking like I am going to go for the e-Berlingo, e-Rifter or e-Combo. Need to properly go through their reviews / specs etc before I do. Probably going to be waiting forever but that works for me.. Hopefully the e5008 drops a few grand by then lol. Won’t hold my breath. My lease is up on 20th November so leaving it very late.
Would they want to install the charger in now or close to when the car is delivered?
Have a look to see if there is anything you like that may be due a facelift/redesign as these are the cars that tend to drop in ap and also seem to get offers on.
the e rifter and e berlingo are recently facelifted and look quite decent, albeit their lower specs for the 7 seater versions for some reason..
When you order your EV you are contacted within a couple of days by Ohme to begin the charger installation.
A simple install can be within a month.
All the best, I hope you manage to snag a good deal.
I think a year ago AP.S were high and they dropped a lot. Lets hope its the same this year. A lot of customers are struggling.
