    Sorry to butt in to someone elses thread - but I have a question re Motability cars
    If you choose a dealers due to a better deal than your local dealers (I am talking the other end of the country) are you stuck with that dealers for servicing etc - or is it like transferring a new car warranty to your local dealers ?
    ie) Kia Niro self charging Hybrid is available from JCT600 for nil advance payment - but my local dealer wants £699 for the identical car !!
    Could someone obtain the car from JCT600 - and live 300 miles away and transfer the servicing to their local dealers ?
    The only thing I can think that might throw a spanner in the works. Is just what they would charge to deliver the car. Or if they expect you to pick it up.
    The Nero offer is one that any Kia dealer should be offering as it is on the Kia site. So you should find a more local Kia dealer.

    Thinking about this, are you sure the spec is exactly the same? with motability the advance payments are the same regardless of which area the dealer is in. All the advance payments are on the motability website and if the dealer is asking for more then you need to ask why.

    There is not a Kia Nero HEV on Motability site with £699 charge. No = Spec level.
    2 =Zero
    3=£1.149 Advance Payment
    4=£1.799 Advance Payment
    Colour can be a extra £585. Other extra's are chargeable.
    Plug in Hybrid is even more Advance Payment.
