Not sure if you were meant to start a new thread or post on your previous one. For others to read they can see that here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/115639/hi-my-name-is-tomobilityornot-motability-car-or-not#latest

Motability isn’t for everyone and if you’re happy with your current vehicle then that’s fine.

As I mentioned on your other thread, I can’t fault motability at all and think it’s worth every penny. I won’t hesitate to place another order for my next vehicle at

Plus at least 3 months PIP for the year of insurance...

That's high insurance. Mine was £198 last year ... increased to £270 with breakdown cover this year on a KIA C'EED GT

Motability is a great scheme. But not for everyone as Poppy' says. When my wife was refused PIP after an indefinite DLA award I used my PIP Mobility to fund the above. Six months left on finance and then it's mine with a positive equity. But then I'm lucky to know some people who are happy to use their spanners now I can't, for a price of a drink or 3

Yes sorry, I'd worked that out as 3 weeks worth, not 3 months.

If I've been counting my own Mobility allowance in months since gaining standard rate that may explain why I've now got an unexpected level of excess income.
