Motability car change?

Jahlove

Hi i was wondering if anybody could tell if you are allowed to change your motablility car from a manual to an auto i would like the same car( vw golf) but just with an automatic as its becoming uncomfortable to operate the clutch.Also i paid a £600 deposit for the car 6 months ago would i get a % of this back or off the next car if im allowed to change?

Thanks for you help.

If you phone them and give them the reason why you want to change early there is a good chance they will allow this, I wanted to change my car after 7 months as i had a change in circumstance and they agreed straight away, they are very good and will help all they can, you will get a percentage of your deposit back after 28 days. You just go to the dealer of your choice and do the same as you do when you first get a car, you will have to test drive one to make sure you get exactly the right one as they will only let you swap early once and you will have to pay another deposit should you need to.

Automatics nearly always attract a higher advance payment on the motability scheme.
