Hi all a few points,I have a car on order through motability also,before I decided I looked at the £50 per week higher rate I get (northern ireland)and what benefits a new car would be as I never bought new in my life(depreciation et al)But the motability deal although it is a lease for three years gives me a new car and its all covered for tax, insurance for 2 people full maintinance and rac roadcover so all I do is supply the fuel.I think its a good deal and I can sell my current car for cash.I had a wide choice of cars and settled for a vw golf 1.4 tsi match which is a beautiful built car plus it comes with a lot of extras.The only downside for me is the waiting time for it is at least 3 months:eek:anyway michelle best of luck with yours.

Fine, I only butted in here as I too am entitled to mobility car. I've done the sums several times over and provided you don't "need" the kudos of a brand spanker every few years, it doesn't add up. Check it out.;)


I might get (will get) slagged off for this but isn't the greatest attraction of a mobility car that you don't need a deposit?. Apologuises to anyone who can't do this any other way.

Sorry gene have to add this, your new signature is nice, but to correct you, your old one quoted me and not you, MSE appeared not to like that. Keep it clean eh?

The new one is nothing to do with you so no need to report it.;)

To get back to the OP, As you are disabled you need to go for a long test drive in the exact model they are supplying you. Be very wary as often the test drive cars are a high spec with comfy seats etc. whilst the motability one is a base model as we found to our cost. Also we found that if you want to go abroad with the car with motability insurance your time abroad is limited and you have to pay for the green card can't remember how much but it was expensive.

Ok, without offence, the question really should be did I need to spend the whole of my DLA allowance on a new car, or would I have been better off buying a cheaper car and pocketing the difference??

Open to discussion.:A

Wow, only fourteen posts in, I thought this one would at least get the second page, before that being posted.

Is this a money saving forum or is it not??

If I'd seen it earlier it would have been the 2nd post, ;), take care.
