at the moment i have a mobility car (skoda Yeti 1.6d greenline) with extended lease (5 years) which is due to end 7th May. the mileage is 17,600 miles so i do around 4,000 miles a year. i have phoned motability to get a price to buy the car which they say is £8750.00 which is about £2k more than i wanted to pay.

my problem.. even though my wife is now in full time care i will still be taking her out for days etc.etc so i will need a car suitable for her and the Yeti is perfect.

i dont want to have to go out and buy another car that could be a potential dog for around the £5-6k mark.

my thinking is that now i have more free time the mileage will increase so buying the car at such low mileage is a good idea. if everything goes tittsup i could still sell the car.

what to do, i'm confused...
