The advanced payment has been reduced by £1,000 on a car we have ordered and due to be delivered by end of July. This is great but does anyone know if the dealer or Motability changes the order to reflect the reduction. Should this be straight forward or likely to be a problem?

thanks

    I would contact Motability over that.

    The Advanced Payment is fixed at the time of order. If the AP goes up for that vehicle in the meantime you win, if it goes down you lose. 

    The only way round it is to cancel your order and reorder but that will put you to the back of the queue.

    Thanks, that’s what I’d read but if there are cars available then just a paperwork request I guess. 
    I’ll speak to them and see what they say. 👍
