  • Is there any fee involved in cancelling the pcp early Jim?

    Your breakdown cover seems extremely high, I got AA home start, relay onward travel for £39 per annum after cashback. This year, I will be seeing what RAC or green flag have with cashback.

    The tyre costs seem quite high too? Are they a condition of the pcp that you get them from your dealer?

    Hi

    I will shortly be ordering my first mobility car.

    As cars are exempt for disabled people (vat)

    Will Options/extras also be vat free ?

    James
    No, optional extras are subject to VAT.

    Hi,
    If the adaptation is considered a necessity for the use of a wheelchair, such as seat removal or a rear loading ramp, these things don't attract VAT. But optional extras such as those you later mention are considered as standard options. These do attract VAT.

    - welcome to the forum, Romanisko99,
    - your offer of advice is encouraged, all members will I'm sure benefit
    - you could give that advice here, right here, where it can help all MSE'ers
    - and .. .. where MSE members can scrutinise advice offered and protect vulnerable individuals
    - that's why 1st time posters are not granted the right to 'link' URL's and email ady's in their 'newbie' # number
    - you might want to help by removing the URL link in #476 to your company
    - or people might suspect you are a spammer looking to sell your wares to an MSE client base
    - soliciting business however is against the rules, you might want to remove the link above, or ;
    - contact the Forum Team on the TRHS of this screen and ask if you can advertise

    Others reading this should consider whether making contact with any first time unknown spammer / poster offline and out of sight of moderators and posters here who can protect you is a good idea. Its generally a bad idea to give complete strangers access to your details such as home address, email address, telephone number etc - if in doubt contact the Forum Team on the TRHS of this screen.

    You can ask but not sure why they would give you a discount on household goods just because you are disabled.

    There might be a local furniture project, but online from a normal retailer I would say no.
