Motability downpayment

Does anyone know when this has to be paid? Is it at the time of ordering the car or when you pick up the car - I've been told it may be a few months wait for the car and wondered how long I had to save

    hi ive had 3 mobility cars and have always paid the upfront payment on collection of the car , which does normally give you about 6 weeks to save it :)

    Just ordered our new mobility car on the 1st June told the car wont be ready until 12th September gives us that bit longer to save for the advanced payment you pay when you collect your car

    If money is tight then look again at the hundreds of cars that are also available for nil deposit under the scheme :T
