A 5 iconic is 27,495 inc grant on the road. Motab want 6195 upfront from you plus they’ll get just over 12k over the 3 yrs from your PIP payment. Factor in what Carmad said and either they’ll be making a nice profit out of this car or there is no confidence whatsoever in its residual value after 3 years!
Where did you get 12k from?
Current PIP higher rate mobility is £110 a week.
Thats £440 every 4 weeks, £5,720 a year (13 payments) £17,160 over 3 years. Thats without adding in any inflationary increases in payments (£17,680 at 3%pa)Even on a £30,000 car that over half the value, although it covers more than just the purchase price.
Either insurance costs have increased exponentially under DLM or we’re getting shafted now.

£110 is the daily living component 🙂
£77.05 week / £12.019.80 at 2o25/26 rates
As I see if these vehicles are £23000 – £27000, given the public views on used EV the residual value is going to be very low, I would imagine Mobility have had their fingers burn as regards EV 3 year residuals just look at the consumer market price of EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6, Vauxhall and Peugeot etc with there poor reliability ?
Can you imagine the trade prices.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally say the wrong thing.

Yes they can be ordered – expect demand to be really strong at this pricepoint.
Factory Orders in the main, which currently will be between March – June 26.

Hi there I’m just wanting to know if it’s normal for my online mobility account to still be showing checking applications after a week is usually a sign of bad news
