    No, Motorbility only provided leased cars and the scheme only covered HP and PCP contracts.

    In addition to the above, it's (effectively) a government run closed shop thing, they didn't pay commission as they aren't chasing sales, rather providing a cheaper car for people who need it

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
