As it currently stands we’re protected against price hikes in deposits but if the AP drops before your car comes you still pay the deposit you ordered at ( unless your dealership is willing to cancel and reorder at the lower price )

But come July, nope you’re not going to be protected if the price goes up so if you order a car at say £2999 but you don’t get that car before the next quarter and the price goes to £6999 you’re going to HAVE to pay the higher AP.

How are Motability expecting it’s members to budget for this potential change?

Not to mention the VAT and Insurance premiums we’re going to be paying also!

The scheme as you know it, is heading towards it’s death and ending completely imho.

I'm blunt and straight to the point and I make no apologies for it!

Oscarmax you where misinformed your lease is extended until you receive new vehicle and hand vehicle over to whichever dealer you are collecting new vehicle from on day of handover day.

Yes I was misinformed to be honest that advisor was a bit abrupt and regimental, I emailed Mobility chief a senior advisor dealt with my case and advised otherwise.

Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

The Motability Scheme evolves for the future while staying firmly committed to supporting disabled people

We recognise that any increase in the cost of a lease could have a significant effect on disabled people’s independence and daily life. To minimise price increases for customers taking out a new lease, the Scheme is considering a range of other changes across the leasing package including mileage, overseas breakdown cover, increased use of telematics for insurance purposes and other services.

Detail will be confirmed only when the impact to disabled people has been fully assessed.

I simply posted as I do wonder if this so called FULL impact assessment will ever be publicly available?

@jojo, I would assume if someone will submit freedom of information request,  they will have to publish.

Thats not always the case

Normalization of deviance

If only the DWP would/could follow that reasoning 🙂

A car can be serviced in any garage, certainly would not have to take it back to mainland UK to get work done.
