If the Landie was registered before 1983 then it's exempt anyways under Historic vehicle laws

I have been a member of Motability for over 10 years and I am finding more and more difficult to find a suitable car at an affordable costs. I have extended my lease on my current vehicle and only have one more year to run. I have contacted Motability with my plight and they provide no help accept that I can purchase my current vehicle when the lease runs out. I have been scouring the site regularly with no joy. I can not understand why Motability are acting this way considering they are a registered charity which wait for it are making millions of pounds of profit every year. Where is the justice in that they make profit car prices to the customer rises by 3 times and their offer of cars do not meet customer requirements.
I am not the only one in this position as I have spoken to several customers on my travels who are in the same position. When this organisation first came to my notice I could not fault it but now it is putting me in a position of making me housebound 

Ok I hear what you say however it does not account for the profits made by this charity there are obviously some fat cats out there taking a good back hander. What I am also saying is that the prices that exist on new cars have not increased by the amount that Motability prices. 

This is no help. I have paid always paid the advance payment myself and would do so in the future however I will repeat myself . People need help should have some where to go with help on equivalent vehicles to the one they have, but this is not so you get the answers as above concerning the advance payment. I have checked through again and again looking for equivalent vehicles with equivalent advance payment but they do not exist

The real help is assisting with finding a vehicle with a close to the one I already have. I do not appreciate such a blunt answer and not to be questioned like this. Do not forget they are a charity and there to help disabled people and not a profit organisation and are there to help not just put out a price list. As I said previously I am a long time member and can only compare with previous experiences and I can only say they have lost touch with the needs of its members and need to improve their relationships as they once did

Yes the written word can be construed as blunt and in my opinion that is how I found it, however let us forget that . You say Poppy has been helping out now I do fail to see that. ASI said I have been looking for a replacement for 3 years now and there is not one that matches my current car for my needs and as I said the information is not what is needed for instance will the car accept a hoist, can you fit in a mobility scooter in without stripping it down , Are the seats electric as getting in and out require seat to move back and down and the reverse for driving ( as my spine and hips are one of my disabilities therefore reaching down to any levers etc is out). Look I could go on with my needs which are not covered in the vehicles descriptions. The site did enable you when you have identified a car clicking on a button and it dropped you into a motoring comparison site showing the  ake up of the vehicle now you do not have that facility
